SMORES CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
• To make the crust, add the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt to a large bowl and stir to combine.Add the melted butter and stir until well combined and crumbly.Pour the mixture into a 9-inch pie pan and spread the crumbs around so that they are evenly dispersed.Press the crumbs into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
• To make the filling, whisk the cornstarch, sugar and salt together in a medium sized saucepan,.
• Add the egg yolks, milk and heavy cream and whisk to combine.
• Heat over medium heat while whisking constantly until the mixture starts to bubble around the edges and thicken to a pudding like consistency.
• Remove mixture from the heat and stir in the chocolate, butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until combined and all the chocolate and butter is melted. The mixture should be smooth.
• Pour mixture into the prepared pie crust. Smooth the top. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 5-6 hours, or until completely cool and firm.
• For the topping, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the regular sized marshmallows halves around the top of the pie, then fill in the additional space with the mini marshmallows.
• Bake for 3-4 minutes or until marshmallows get puffy, then turn to broil on low for 2-4 minutes, depending on how browned you want it.
• You can serve this pie warm right out of the oven or after it has cooled. I personally like it warm - it's more s'mores-like. The filling will still be cool, but not as cold.
• Store the pie well covered in the fridge. You can warm individual slices back up a touch in the oven or microwave, if desired. Be aware that the sticky marshmallows can be tough to cut through. You could also use a meringue topping, if you'd like something that's easier to slice. I'd recommend the topping from this cheesecake.

S'MORES PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Break up the graham crackers by hand and add to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process the crackers until ground. Add the butter and sugar and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Transfer the graham crackers to a 9-inch pie plate and, using your hands, press to form a crust. You just want the crust to be of even thickness around the pie plate. Bake until crisp and the crust begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Cool completely before filling.
• For the pudding: Add the milk, cream and sugar to a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch, followed by the cocoa powder and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the bittersweet chocolate and vanilla.
• Pour into the cooled pie shell and chill, covering pudding surface with plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set.
• Just before serving, preheat your broiler. Top the pudding pie with the large marshmallows, covering the entire pie surface. Transfer the pie to a baking sheet. Broil the marshmallows 4 inches under the broiler until the tops are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on this, it goes fast! Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to brown the marshmallow topping. Serve immediately.

MARSHMALLOW & CHOCOLATE PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• Beat pudding mixes and milk in large bowl with whisk 2 min. (Mixture will be thick.)
• Spoon 1-1/2 cups pudding into crust; top with marshmallows. Stir 1-1/2 cups COOL WHIP into remaining pudding; spoon over marshmallow layer in crust.
• Refrigerate 3 hours. Top with remaining COOL WHIP just before serving.

Steps:

• For the crust: Place 6 graham crackers in a gallon-size resealable plastic bag and crush into coarse crumbs. Add the remaining 6 crackers and crush into irregular pieces, about 1/2-inch in size. Add the salt and toss, then add the melted butter and shake to coat. Pour into a broiler-safe 9-by-13-inch baking pan and press into an even, compact layer. Freeze until ready to assemble.
• For the chocolate espresso pudding: Whisk together the sugar, cocoa, cornstarch, coffee powder and salt in a large saucepan until combined. Whisk in the egg yolks and about 1 cup half-and-half until smooth and free of lumps. Whisk in the remaining half-and-half. Cook over medium-high heat, whisking occasionally, until the mixture starts to bubble. Lower the heat to medium and cook, whisking constantly, for 1 minute.
• Remove from the heat and whisk in the chopped chocolate and vanilla. Pour the custard into a clean large bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, about 5 hours or overnight.
• For assembly: Stir the cooled pudding to smooth it out, then spoon it over the chilled graham cracker crust. Smooth the top of the pudding and then arrange about half of the broken graham cracker pieces over the pudding. Arrange the marshmallows on top in an even layer. Toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch (sometimes called a crème brûlée torch) as desired (see Disclaimer). Alternatively, place the pan under the broiler about 6 inches away from the flame and toast until desired color, making sure that the marshmallows don't burn.
• Finish the pie by arranging the chunks of chocolate and remaining graham cracker pieces over the toasted marshmallow layer. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
