S'mores Pie

Pie is not normally in our arsenal of baking recipes, and since it's camping season, we decided to make an easy s'mores pie care of Entertaining with Beth. This recipe was easy enough that (almost) nothing went wrong, except maybe the part where we couldn't wait to eat it so it was hard to slice. Here is a recap of this kitchen adventure:

Pie Crust 

Ingredients:

2 cups ground graham crackers (we found them ground at the grocery already which saved time)

6 tbsp melted butter 

1/8 tsp salt

1. (Preheat oven to 350F) Combine ingredients in a bowl until the graham crackers stick together 
2. 2. Place the mixture in a round baking pan. We used the bottom of a glass to form the crust evenly on the bottom 
3. Set aside for later 

Chocolate filling: 

Ingredients:

3/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips

3/4 cup milk chocolate chips

1/4 cup butter

1 cup heavy cream 

2 eggs and 1 egg yolk 

1 tsp vanilla 

1. Place chocolate chips and butter in a heat proof bowl. 
2. Heat cream and bring to a boil
3. Pour the cream over the chocolate chips and butter while stirring with a whisk making sure everything is well incorporated
4. Add the eggs, egg yolk and vanilla extract 
5. Pour the mixture into the graham cracker crust and bake at 350F for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean from the center

Marshmallow Topping: 

Ingredients:

2 egg whites

1 cup corn syrup 

pinch of salt 

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp cream of tartar

2 tbsp sugar 

1. Beat all the ingredients until stiff peaks
2. Use a spatula to cover the (cooled down.... don't be impatient folks!) top of the chocolate filling, adding some peaks and ridges to give it a rustic look
3. Bake under a full broil or 500F for 1-2 minutes. WATCH CLOSELY as the marshmallow topping can burn REALLY FAST, unless you're into burnt marshmallows, we respect that. 

The peaks of the marshmallows should turn brown first, giving it that rustic look

 4. Cool for 10-15 minutes before serving

There is a lot of chocolatey goodness inside, perfect to serve at a summer BBQ
