Tips For Making This Smores Pie Recipe:
The graham cracker crust and ganache filling are pretty basic and easy to prepare. Its the marshmallow topping that can be tricky. Here are some suggestions for making a perfect batch:
- Make sure to track down and purchase plain, unflavored gelatin which can be found at most major supermarkets. It will give the topping its structure. I use Knox brand.
- The gelatin must be proofed or bloomed in cold water before adding it to the rest of the ingredients.
- You will need to make a sugar syrup which involves heating sugar, water, and corn syrup up to 260º. You need an accurate candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of this liquid as it cooks.
- This marshmallow topping needs a long whipping time to go from frothy to thick and white. Using a stand mixer will definitely make the process easier, but it can also be made with a hand mixer and some patience.
- An alternative is to buy large marshmallows and cut them in half making short rounds. Cover the surface of the pie with these marshmallow rounds and use a culinary torch to brown. This could probably be done under your ovens broiler, but watch carefully so the marshmallows dont burn.
What Is Smores Pie
Smores pie is inspired by that classic campfire treat: the smore, consisting of a toasted marshmallow and a milk chocolate square, sandwiched between two crunchy graham crackers. Its completely irresistible, and such a nostalgic summer treat!
In this pie version, we use graham crackers in the crust, and the chocolate takes a fluffy mousse form in the filling. The whole thing is topped off with marshmallows and toasted to golden brown perfection.

Yams Vs Sweet Potatoes
Yams are a starchy vegetable with a brown skin. They can easily grow up to 45 feet long.
Sweet Potatoes, on the other hand, are softer with an orangish brown skin and traditionally have an orange interior, but some have white or purple, depending on the variety.
Sweet Potatoes are sweeter than yams. Yams are more akin to white potatoes in flavor. According to ncsweetpotato.com*, there are nutritional variations as well:
Sweet Potatoes: Very nutritious. Has more sugar, protein, calcium, iron, sodium, vitamin A, beta-carotene, and water than yams do. *
Yams: Very nutritious. Has more fat, carbs, fiber, potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, and vitamin E than sweet potatoes do. *
It is rare to see Yams in anything other than a specialty market. What you see in the grocery stores are probably sweet potatoes. If you arent sure, ask the market manager if what you see are truly yams!
Additional Tips And Storing
Be sure to wait until pie has cooled completely before cutting into it.
The pie should be stored in the fridge before adding the marshmallows. Once the marshmallows are added, its best to eat the pie as quick as possible. Otherwise, the marshmallows will loose their consistency.
You can store any leftovers in the fridge for 1-3 days. Either eat them chilled, or pop individual slices into the microwave for 10 seconds at a time until its heated to your liking.

Really this smores dessert is fit for any day of the year. It screams summer, but when cold weather comes around and youre craving a smore but its too cold to go out, this easy pie recipe will always have you covered.
It begins with a graham cracker base , then its layered with a silky smooth chocolate filling that melts away in your mouth, and next its topped with a meringue . Finally, its toasted to golden perfection.
You wont be able to wait to dive into this smores pie. There may just be a slice missing when you take it to the party .
How To Make Easy Smores Pie
Graham Cracker Crust
The first layer to a smores pie is the graham cracker crust. Its a simple crumb crust of graham crackers, butter and sugar. I like to use a food processor to finely grind up the graham crackers, but you can also use a rolling pin and a sealed freezer bag, if needed.
Once ground up, mix together your graham crackers with sugar, salt, and butter until combined and moistened . Press the mixture onto the bottom of a 9-inch tart pan and bake it for 8-10 minutes in a 350°F/180°C oven. Let the crust cool while you prepare the rest of the smores tart.
Chocolate Ganache Filling
Similar to the melted chocolate in a smore, this smore pie recipe uses a richer chocolate ganache to get a luscious, creamy chocolate filling. The recipe is very similar to the one I use in my chocolate tart recipe that you all rave about, so I know its a keeper.
For this smore pie recipe, I like to use only bittersweet/semisweet chocolate since the pie is extra sweet with the marshmallow meringue topping. If you prefer the milk chocolate version, feel free to use that instead.
To make the ganache, melt the butter and heavy cream together in a small saucepan. Pour this mixture over the chopped chocolate and let it stand for a minute to begin melting. Stir everything together with a spatula or whisk, until melted and smooth. Pour the chocolate filling into the crust and refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours or overnight.

How To Make A Smores Pie
Theres 3 main components to this recipe:
- graham cracker crust
- chocolate filling
CRUST. The crust is made with graham crumbs, a little sugar and melted butter. You can either buy graham crumbs in the box , or crush sheets of graham crackers in your food processor. I like the crust a little thicker for this recipe.
FILLING. Chop up chocolate into small pieces and then place it in a large, heat-proof bowl . Then youll heat some cream over in a saucepan until its almost boiling. Pour the hot cream over top of the chopped chocolate, let it sit for a few minutes for the chocolate to melt, and then whisk until its smooth.
Finally, whisk in 2 eggs, which help to give the pie the right consistency. The mixture will be quite liquidy, which is what you want.
BAKE. Pour the mixture into the pie shell, and pop the pie in the oven to bake 25-30 minutes.
TOPPING. Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top and then pop the pie back in the oven for a couple of minutes for them to gently brown. This process goes very quickly, so make sure to watch carefully they can go from toasted to burnt very quickly.
What Can I Do With Italian Meringue
Italian Meringue is a very stable meringue that does not require baking. It can be eaten raw. It can be used in various pastries and desserts. Because it is so stable, it will not collapse.
This pie should be stored in the refrigerator for best results. It is quite decadent, so small slices are better. It will stay good in the refrigerator for 5 to 7 days.

Can I Toast Marshmallows Using The Broiler
Yes, but the broiler can be a bit unpredictable. Youll need to be very careful and very vigilant!
To broil, place the pie on a baking sheet. Turn the broiler on high, transfer the pie into the oven, and toast the marshmallows until theyve reached your desired level of toasty. This will only take a few minutes, so stay close! Those marshmallows can go from brown to burnt real quick.
