5 Ingredient Smores Pie Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350˚F (175˚C)
• Combine crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and sugar in a bowl until all of the crumbs are moistened with butter.
• Fill foil cupcake liners halfway, then using a small spoon or your fingers push down the crumbs to form your crust.
• Bake 5-7 minutes, until they are just starting to turn golden brown. Set aside.
• Lower oven temperature to 275˚F (140˚C).
• Combine the cream, butter, and sugar into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 90-120 seconds, stirring halfway through.
• Add chopped chocolate and stir until all the chocolate is melted.
• Whisk 3 eggs and 2 yolks in a separate bowl. While stirring eggs, add a small amount of warm chocolate/cream mixture into the eggs (to gently warm up your eggs so they don't scramble!)
• Pour the egg mixture back into the chocolate/cream mixture and stir to completely combine the two.
• Pour the chocolate filling into cupcake foils leaving a little bit of room at the top ( ¼-⅛ of an inch (6-3 mm) or so).
• Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the chocolate filling is just set and wobbles very slightly shaken
• Turn on the broiler to high and top each pie with a marshmallow.
• Broil the pies until the marshmallows just start to char and brown. If the tops brown too quickly for the marshmallow to spread across the entire top of the pie, take the pan out and once they have cooled for a minute, press down on the top of the marshmallow and the gooey insides will come out and spill on the top of your pie!
• Enjoy!

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:

• 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:

• Make the crust. Crumble graham crackers into the work bowl of a food processor and process until finely ground. Alternatively, you can put them in a bag and whack them with a rolling pin until finely crushed. Pour melted butter into crumbs and mix (hands are best for this) until the butter is fully incorporated and the texture is that of wet sand. Butter or oil a 9-inch pie pan and firmly press the graham cracker crumbs against the sides, then against the bottom of the pan (the underside of a measuring cup works well for smoothing the bottom crust). Chill for at least 30 minutes to avoid crumbling when serving.
• While the crust chills, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and prepare the chocolate filling. Put the chocolate in a large mixing bowl. Heat the cream in a saucepan until scalded - do not boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and allow to stand for 1 minute. Whisk the cream and chocolate together until glossy and smooth. Add a pinch of salt, then crack the egg into the chocolate mixture and whisk to fully incorporate. Pour into chilled crust and bake for 25 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly wobbly in the center. Remove from the oven and cool completely.
• Prepare the marshmallow topping. Pour 1/4 cup water into the bowl of a stand mixer and sprinkle the gelatin on top. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, stir together the remaining 1/4 cup of water, sugar and corn syrup just until sugar is dissolved. Heat until a candy thermometer reads 260 degrees, or hard-ball stage. Remove from heat, turn stand mixer to medium speed to begin beating the bloomed gelatin, and slowly pour in sugar syrup, aiming it down the side of the bowl to prevent splatter, and scraping any remaining syrup from the pan with a heat-proof spatula. Slowly increase the speed of the mixer, and beat until the mixture is white, fluffy and doubled in volume. Add vanilla and beat for a few moments more. Pour the mixture on top of the cooled chocolate layer, gently spreading it to the edges of the crust with a spatula. Refrigerate, uncovered, 30 to 60 minutes.
• The last step: brûlée the marshmallow. A torch is best for this (a propane torch from the hardware store or a butane crème brûlée torch). If using a torch, clear the area of any flammable items, ignite the torch, and slowly wave the flame over the surface of the marshmallow until you achieve the desired level of toastiness. If you do not have a torch, use the broiler of your oven. Preheat the broiler, cover the edges of the pie crust with foil or pie shields, place the pie on a baking sheet and broil - watching carefully to prevent burning - for 2 to 3 minutes, rotating as necessary.
• To slice the pie, it helps to dip your knife in hot water, then dry it with a towel. The heat facilitates easy slicing through the marshmallow layer.
