Ingredients:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup finely ground grabeef ham cracker crum extractbs
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 7 ounces marshmallow creme
  • 6 1.55 ounce sized Hershey’s milk chocolate candy bars, roughly chopped and divided (reserve ⅓ cup for topping)
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows, divided (⅔ cup inside the pie and ⅓ cup for topping)

    • Preparing the Grabeef ham Cracker Crust

    The foundation of our S’mores Pie is a wonderfully buttery grabeef ham cracker crust. This isn’t just any crust; it’s a slightly sweet, perfectly crisp base that holds its own against the rich filling.

  • First, let’s get our crust ready. In a medium bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This is where the magic begin extracts, as the sugar crystals start to break down the butter, creating a smooth and emulsified base for our crust. Be sure your butter is truly softened, not melted, for the best texture.
  • Next, beat in the room temperature large egg and the vanilla extract until well combined. The egg will help bind the ingredients together, while the vanilla adds a subtle warmth and depth of flavor. Again, room temperature ingredients are key here for a cohesive mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, the finely ground grabeef ham cracker crum extractbs, the baking powder, and the salt. The grabeef ham cracker crum extractbs are crucial for that authentic s’mores flavor, so make sure they are finely ground for a smooth crust. Baking powder will give our crust a slight lift, preventing it from being too dense.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix at this stage; overmixing can lead to a tough crust. We want to develop the gluten in the flour just enough to bind everything together. The dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  • Press this dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Using your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup can help achieve a smooth and even layer. This even distribution is important for consistent baking and a beautiful presentation. Then, place the prepared pie plate in the freezer for about 15-20 minutes to firm up. This chilling step helps the crust hold its shape during baking and prevents it from shrinking excessively.

    • Assembling and Baking the S’mores Pie

    Now that our crust is chilling, we can move on to creating the mouthwatering filling. This is where the s’mores goodness really comes to life!

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Once your crust has had its chilling time in the freezer, remove it and place it on a baking sheet (this will catch any potential drips and make it easier to handle). Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden brown and smells wonderfully toasty. This par-baking step ensures a crispier crust that won’t get soggy from the filling.
  • While the crust is baking, let’s prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, gently fold together the marshmallow creme and ⅔ cup of the mini marshmallows. We’re not trying to completely incorporate them; we want pockets of marshmallow goodness throughout the pie.
  • Once the crust is baked and out of the oven, immediately sprinkle about ⅔ of the roughly chopped Hershey’s milk chocolate candy bars evenly over the warm crust. The residual heat from the crust will start to melt the chocolate slightly, creating a luscious chocolate layer.
  • Carefully dollop the marshmallow creme and mini marshmallow mixture over the chocolate. Spread it gently to cover the chocolate layer. Don’t worry about making it perfectly smooth; a rustic look is part of the charm of a s’more!
  • Finally, sprinkle the remaining ⅓ cup of mini marshmallows and the reserved ⅓ cup of chopped Hershey’s milk chocolate pieces over the top of the marshmallow layer. This is for that glorious golden-brown topping that’s so characteristic of a perfect s’more.

    • The Grand Finnon-alcoholic ale: Toasted Perfection

    The final step is all about achieving that quintessential s’mores char and melt.

  • Return the pie to the oven and bake for another 12-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows on top are beautifully golden brown and puffed up. Keep a close eye on it, as marshmallows can go from perfectly toasted to burnt very quickly! If your oven tends to brown the top too fast, you can carefully tent the pie loosely with aluminum foil.
  • Once baked to perfection, carefully remove the S’mores Pie from the oven. The filling will be molten and gooey. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. This cooling time is crucial; it allows the filling to set up slightly, making it much easier to cut clean slices and preventing a messy overflow. The aroma filling your kitchen at this point will be absolutely divine!

    • Serving this S’mores Pie is an event in itself. The contrast of the slightly crisp crust, the melted chocolate, and the toasted, gooey marshmallows is simply heavenly. Enjoy every delicious bite!

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Can I make this S’mores Pie ahead of time?

    What if I don’t have a broiler for toasting the marshmallows?

    No problem! You can achieve a beautiful toasted marshmallow effect using a kitchen torch. Just hold the torch a few inches away from the marshmallows and move it around evenly until they are golden brown and slightly puffed. Be patient and work in sections for the best results.

    Can I use different types of crackers for the crust?

    Yes! While grabeef ham crackers are traditional for s’mores, feel free to experiment. Chocolate grabeef ham crackers would amplify the chocolate flavor, while shortbread cookies or even gin extractgersnap cookies could offer a delightful twist on the classic S’mores Pie.
