S’mores Pie Recipe Ingredients

Crust

2 cups graham cracker crumbs (from 16 sheets graham crackers)
8 Tbsp. salted butter, melted
2 Tbsp. sugar

Filling

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
3 cups whole milk
4 egg yolks, beaten
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
2 Tbsp. salted butter
2 Tbsp. vanilla bean paste or extract

Topping

24 marshmallows
Semi-sweet chocolate bar, for shaving

How To Make S’mores Pie Recipe

Make and bake the crust: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Firmly press the mixture into an ungreased 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Bake for 5 minutes to set the crust, then let it cool.
Make the chocolate pudding filling: In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in the milk and the beaten egg yolks. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens.
Finish the filling: Remove the pan from the heat and add the chopped chocolate, butter, and vanilla. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
Fill and chill the pie: Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled pie crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, until completely set.
Toast the topping and serve: When ready to serve, arrange the marshmallows on top of the pie. Use a kitchen torch to toast them until golden. Alternatively, place the pie under a preheated broiler for 60 to 75 seconds, watching carefully. Garnish with chocolate shavings and serve.

Recipe Tips

How to get a non-soggy crust? Pre-baking the graham cracker crust for 5 minutes is a key step. It helps to set the crust and creates a barrier that prevents the creamy pudding filling from making it soft.
How to get a smooth pudding filling? The secret is to stir the pudding constantly while it’s on the stove, especially as it comes to a boil. This prevents the cornstarch and egg yolks from scrambling and ensures a silky-smooth texture.
Can I make this pie ahead of time? Yes, this is a perfect make-ahead dessert. You can prepare the pie and let it chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add and toast the marshmallow topping just before you plan to serve it for the best gooey, toasted flavor.
What if I don’t have a kitchen torch? The broiler method works great. Just be sure to watch it very closely, as marshmallows can go from perfectly toasted to burnt in a matter of seconds.

How To Store S’mores Pie

Refrigerate: This pie must be stored in the refrigerator because of the dairy and egg-based filling. Cover it loosely and it will keep for up to 3 days. The graham cracker crust will soften over time.

FAQs

What’s the difference between this and a s’mores brownie?

This pie has a creamy, smooth, chilled chocolate pudding filling and a crisp graham cracker crust. A s’mores brownie has a dense, fudgy, baked brownie base. Both share the classic graham, chocolate, and marshmallow flavors.

Can I use a store-bought graham cracker crust?

Yes, to save time you can use a pre-made 9-inch deep-dish graham cracker crust.

Why did my pudding not set?

The most common reason for a pudding not setting is that it wasn’t cooked long enough. It’s crucial that the mixture comes to a full boil on the stove to activate the thickening power of the cornstarch. Also, ensure it chills for the full 4 hours.
