S’mores Pie.
This may be a bit ridiculous.
And it just may be one of the best desserts I’ve ever made.
You might remember that last year I whipped up some mini s’mores tarts. They were fabulous, but I must have had a few screws loose. Why didn’t I just make an entire pie?
Oh! I remember why. Because my husband doesn’t like s’mores. He’s apparently from another planet. Can’t he just sacrifice his taste buds for my favorite flavor combination?
I guess not.
I ended up with an entire pie. In my house. In my fridge. With only one person to eat it.
Dreams do come true!
Welcome to my new favorite dessert. Did your pants button pop yet?
Pleeeeeease make this. I’m begging you. I need someone to share the love with me since Mr. How Sweet would rather eat chicken and steak than s’mores.
And I’m warning you:Â It may not be pretty once cut.
As long as you chill it, you should get a semblance of a slice out. But if that fails, just go to town with a spoon. Trust me, no one will care. They are eating s’mores pie after all! Seriously, it’s not like you could wait to cut it anyway. Unless you’re superhuman.
I might have found myself kneeling on the kitchen floor, spoon in hand and head in fridge, scooping out s’mores pie bites.
And I still have the crumbs on my kitchen floor to prove it.

S’mores Pie
for crust
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 1/4 sticks butter, melted
Preheat oven to 325.
Add melted butter and graham cracker crumbs together until a crust forms. Press in to a 9 inch pie plate.
for chocolate filling (from Tyler Florence)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk
10 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 bag of large marshmallows
Combine milk and heavy cream in a saucepan and heat over low heat. Watch carefully and once it begins to simmer, remove from heat and add in chocolate. Stir with a spatula until chocolate is melted, then whisk in sugar and salt. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the 2 eggs. Slowly add eggs to chocolate mixture while whisking.
Pour chocolate filling in to graham crust. Tyler’s directions call for the filling to be baked for 15-20 minutes, but mine needed about 30-35. Pay attention and check every 5-10 minutes after 20 minutes pass. One the chocolate is no longer liquid, remove the tart and top with as many large marshmallows as you can fit. I heated my broiled on low, and stuck the pie back in for 2 minutes so the top could get golden. The other option is to just place it back in the oven for a few minutes until they melt or use a kitchen torch.
Let cool then refrigerate for 1-2 hours before cutting. Spray a knife with non-stick spray before slicing. If it is messy, just lift pieces out with a spoon. It’s just as delicious!

I might need a s’mores detox. Or s’mores rehab.
But really… I just need s’more s’mores. I’m an addict.

Oh wow! Words can’t even express how AMAZING this looks!! I would eat this straight out of the pie dish :)
Wow that looks amazing!
SMORES PIE?! How do you come up with these things?!
Amazing… :-D
Oh wow, that first shot with the marshmallows took my breath away. It looks so freaking tasty!!
And this is exactly why I can’t plan too far in advance on the challenge because then I see recipes like this and want to make it instead of whatever I had planned!
It’s not ridiculous at all. There’s no caramel sauce on top of the marshmallows. Now that…would still not be ridiculous. Just delicious.
Well done! I’m with you: s’mores are awesome, and in pie form? Delectable, I’m sure ;).
OMGGGGGGG…This is amazing!!! I must do it soon, very soon. Probably today.
This looks crazy! I just bought a new pair of stretchy pants, so I’m so making this soon.
Holy crap Jess. I know you say that things are your favorite every other day (which is why I love you because I’m constnatly changing my mind too) but this one takes the cake (er… pie). I love s’mores!
I’m so glad someone else understands my changing mind!
Mmmmmmmmmmmm….S’mores are my go-to weakness food :) I must make this!!!!
Smores, it’s what’s for breakfast! YUM!
The agony and the ecstasy! I’ve never even had a real s’more! They aren’t a “thing” in Australia, and we don’t even have graham crackers here :(
Ah! How is that even possible?
‘Cause we’re too busy eating vegemite on toast? :D
I don’t really know what vegemite is, but the fact that it has “veg” in the name makes me think I would not be a fan.
It’s yeast extract. You’re missing out. ;)
Hannah, as a fellow Aussie (but appreciator of American cuisine), allow me to explain…
A graham cracker is basically a sweet, plain biscuit – the Australian equivalent would be a Marie or Nice biscuit, or digestive biscuit.
I’ve tried making s’mores using Nice biscuits before, and it was pretty delicious. I’d love to give this pie ago.
Oh and Jessica, there’s no vegetables in Vegemite…it’s basically like really potent nutritional yeast in spreadable form. I adore it but a lot of Americans apparently can’t handle the taste (well, the one’s I’ve met who have been brave enough to try it!)
I absolutely LOVE nutritional yeast! Maybe I’d love it then?
I have tried it! It looks strangely like chocolate spread. I would not choose to eat it, but its not too bad. I think its pretty widely available at least in Canada. I know I can buy it at any grocery store.
The thing with Vegemite (I’m from NZ) is not to put too much on – heaaps and heaps of butter, tiny bit of vegemite. Deelish! Probably not as delicious as S’more Pie though!
Well, I’m certainly all about heaps and heaps of butter!
That last picture is awesome. I haven’t had s’mores in ages, but whenever I do I eat all the pieces separately. Weird, right?
Really?? I can’t imagine! I love the combination all mashed together.
Oh.my.word! Excuse me while I go clean the drool off my computer screen now! That looks incredible! I’d be glad to come eat Mr. How Sweet’s half! ;)
Sob. Why did Ben pick this week to go on a diet?
I want this for my birthday, oh man.

Smores are hands down the greatest thing on earth. There’s really nothing better!!
P.S. I made the blueberry cakes and they exploded everywhere! How big are your ramekins? I didn’t have any problems with the pumpkin version but these were too much…way too much…batter :( I am going to try them again this weekend.
Really?! That is so weird! The recipe is identical to the pumpkin spice cakes, just swapping yogurt for the pumpkin. My ramekins are about 2 1/2 wide by 2 1/2 high. Maybe because yogurt is more liquid-y than pumpkin?? I have no clue but mine didn’t explode. Maybe make a third ramekin instead??
That is the coolest looking thing! I love smores-every spring/summer i’m begging my fiance to have a fire!
this looks so indulgently ridiculous!!!! smores is one of my favorites too! (well besides key lime pie :) )
Looks great, although I have never eaten a single s’more, let alone multiple s’mores…..I think I am missing out!
Never?! You are definitely missing out!
As Hannah said, they are not a thing in Australia, and not in the UK either (where I am originally from). A great shame by the sound of it.
Vegemite however, is definitely something that you would find ‘interesting’! (I love it on toast with cheese!)
I guess I must try it! :)
GORGEOUS, decadent pie…the shot with all the toasted marshmallows is amazing!!!
Tony just asked me the other day if I would make him a smore’s pie after I mastered the gluten free crust for him. This looks insanely good! Who doesn’t love smore’s anything?
Yum, I love s’mores! One of my fave things.
Holy crap – this looks incredible.
seriously, my heart just melted. i hate marshmallows…unless they’re on s’mores! i need this. pretty please.
have you ever made your own marshmallow? jesus.
i made mallomars in xmas ’09 after the daring bakers made them earlier that year(*). moan. also, amazingly fun to make (texture is like effing magic when it comes together) and probably *the* biggest difference i’ve encountered in a foodstuff made at home when compared to the better-known version we usually buy packaged.
(* meaning, if you wanna give it a try, google for that, because i can vouch for that recipe–if you’ll take my word for it, anyway)
I haven’t. I’ve wanted to try them forever.
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me!!! I’d gobble up this pie in no time, love me some smores!
So now maybe you can start creating some amazing recipes using Chobani — did you see their new commercial? Starring yours truly…. ?!?! ;)
I did!! You were SO amazing in it. It was funny too – reminded me of an episode of The Office. :)
I heart smores! I made smores cupcakes that were insanely delish, but not photogenice nor blogworthy!
My husband doesn’t like marshmellows! (gasp!) What is wrong with these guys?! Just means more for me! hehe
That looks incredible! Especially since you have the marshmallows browned so perfectly…. yum!!!
gah that is gorgeous! The marshmallows look so pretty toasted on top! I love anything with a graham cracker crust. Hope you’re having a wonderful day Jessica!
This looks great! I’ve made a similar one using instant pudding.
My friend loves marshmallows, so for her birthday in September, I made a s’mores pie with a graham cracker crust (literally a big, baked graham cracker in the pie pan), melted chocolate, and a layer of piped meringue. It wasn’t toasted very well, but it sure was tasty.
Oh my goodness… delicious and beautiful. Love that photo of the graham crackers being poured into a bowl of melted butter… ahmazing!
Oh my goodness. This sounds amazing and I LOVE the photos of the golden marshmallows. I’m totally with you on the “tarts are great but why not make a whole pie”.. I like your thinking!
Helloooo lovely! This looks AMAZING. AMAAAAAZING!
YUM! I am a total s’mores addict too
s’more s’mores! Yes please! This looks like something my grandma would make…which is a huge compliment. :-)
Oh, look at all those big fluffy marshmallows? If you used mini ones could you adjust the time or temp to make it?
You don’t put the marshmallows on until the very end, so if you want to use minis I would just sprinkle them on then watch them the entire time they are in the oven – maybe 1-2 minutes? It really just depends.
How are you this smart…..
What a brilliant idea. Cake looks scrumptious but also love making a cake just for yourself ;-) Not so lucky since in our house I know this one would definitely disappear in a jiffy!
Oh my goodness I think I’m in love!! I’m getting married over the 4th of July weekend and want to make some sort of s’mores treat as wedding favors – I bet this would make a great mini pie (or 100)!
Make the mini smores tarts! http://www.howsweeteats.com/2010/01/12/mini-smores-tarts/
Wow. Just WOW. Me likey!
I need to attempt an individual portion of this. I am quite confident that making the whole thing would cause my world to explode. Or my pants. Either one.
I do a smores sundae with vanilla ice cream, bittersweet hot fudge, marshmallows & crushed graham crackers. Best thing ever!
Whoa! I think you’ve just out done yourself.
ooh, we love s’mores! Love that last picture :)
Oh heavens–who needs slices? Give me a spoon and the whole pie and I’ll go to town!
Genius idea! Looks damn good! My children would tear this apart. May make this for my son’s second birthday!
Girl, how are you making all this stuff? Seriously. I’m sure you get that question all the time (as do I!), but MAN you make some good sweets :)
