4 Ingredient Smores Pie Recipes

MILE-HIGH S'MORES PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar and melted butter in a medium bowl until combined. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until lightly toasted, about 10 minutes; set aside to cool.
• Make the filling: Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until almost simmering. Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, cornstarch and salt in a medium bowl to make a thick paste. Whisk about one-third of the warm milk into the egg mixture until smooth. Add this mixture to the remaining milk in the saucepan and cook, whisking constantly, until it starts to bubble and thicken, about 2 minutes. Continue cooking, whisking, until thick like pudding, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the chocolate until melted and combined. Whisk in the butter until combined. Pour the filling into the graham cracker crust and refrigerate until completely cool, about 2 hours.
• Make the meringue: Whisk the egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and salt in a large heatproof bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer) until combined. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan with 1 inch of simmering water (don't let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is just hot to the touch and the sugar is completely dissolved, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Remove the bowl from the saucepan. Add the vanilla. Beat with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff glossy peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch-wide tip. Pipe large marshmallow-size mounds on the surface of the pie, leaving a small border of the filling exposed. Pipe another layer of mounds on top in a slightly smaller circle, then pipe a third layer on top, using the rest of the meringue. Use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue (or toast under the broiler). Refrigerate the pie until cooled before slicing, at least 1 hour.

Steps:

• Combine the chocolate chips and cream in a large microwave-safe bowl and heat for 2 1/2 minutes. Stir until completely smooth (the chocolate may appear separated at first, but just keep stirring). Pour into the prepared pie crust, loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until set, about 4 hours or up to overnight.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Use kitchen shears to cut each marshmallow in half, on a bias, from one corner to the opposite corner. Arrange the marshmallow halves, cut-side down, on top of the chilled pie. Broil until golden, watching closely and rotating the pan as needed, about 1 minute. Let the pie cool completely, then cover loosely with plastic wrap and return to the fridge until the ganache sets again, 1 to 2 hours.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and salt for the crust, and press into the bottom of a springform pan.
• Mix graham cracker crumbs, condensed milk, chocolate chips, baking powder, and salt for the graham brownie in a large bowl until well combined. Gently spread on top of graham cracker crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until top is dry, about 30 minutes. Remove pie from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Meanwhile, whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch and salt for the chocolate custard in a saucepan. Gradually whisk in milk. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 2 minutes more. Pour beaten egg gradually into the chocolate custard, stirring as you pour. Cook and stir for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in vanilla extract.
• Pour chocolate custard over the baked pie. Arrange regular marshmallows on top of the pie and sprinkle miniature marshmallows to fill in any gaps.
• Bake until marshmallows are lightly browned, about 5 minutes; keep an eye on it because you do not want marshmallows to melt.
• Place cream for chocolate ganache in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on High until hot, making sure it doesn't bubble over, about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Mix in chocolate, butter, and coffee granules. Microwave for another 30 seconds then stir until smooth. Let sit until it thickens, 15 to 20 minutes. Drizzle chocolate ganache over the pie.
