INGREDIENTS You’ll Need:

Here are the ingredients you’ll need to create this delightful Smores Pie. This ingredient list focuses on quality to achieve that authentic S’mores flavor we all love.

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs: For the best flavor in your Smores Pie, I recommend using high-quality graham crackers and crushing them finely.
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted: Use real butter for a richer flavor in your graham cracker crust pie.
¼ cup granulated sugar: This adds just the right amount of sweetness to balance the buttery graham cracker crust.
1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk: This ingredient creates a smooth and creamy base for the chocolate layer in your Smores dessert.
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted: I prefer using semi-sweet chocolate for a balanced sweetness, but you can also use dark chocolate if you prefer a richer flavor.
2 teaspoons vanilla extract: A little vanilla extract enhances the overall flavor of the chocolate layer in your marshmallow chocolate pie.
3 cups miniature marshmallows: You’ll need these for the top layer of your pie. Miniature marshmallows melt evenly and create that perfect gooey texture.
Chocolate shavings (optional): To enhance the presentation of your Smores Pie.

Let’s Create This Together!

Here are the easy steps to create your very own Smores Pie. Remember, each step is a chance to infuse your personal touch and flavor-building wisdom into this beloved dessert.

Prepare the Graham Cracker Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly moistened. In my kitchen, this flavorful Smores Pie typically takes about 5 minutes to prepare the crust.
Press into Pie Plate: Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. You can use the bottom of a measuring cup to help press it down evenly. Here’s where I used to miss a key step with my Smores Pie – learn from my experience! Making sure the crust is firmly packed ensures it holds its shape beautifully.
Bake the Crust (Optional): For a firmer crust, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes. Let cool completely before adding the filling. I find that baking the crust adds a nice, toasty flavor that complements the other ingredients in this Graham cracker crust pie.
Make the Chocolate Filling: In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, melted chocolate, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined. While your Smores Pie is developing these flavors, take a moment to appreciate creating something special for your family!
Pour Filling into Crust: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly. Don’t be surprised if your Smores Pie develops a richer aroma at this point. This is a good sign that the chocolate is melding perfectly with the graham cracker crust.
Add Marshmallows: Sprinkle the miniature marshmallows evenly over the chocolate filling. Perfect time to appreciate the aromatic transformation! My family loves when I pile on the marshmallows for an extra gooey layer.
Broil (or Torch) the Marshmallows: Place the pie under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted. Watch carefully to prevent burning! Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows for a more controlled browning. This Smores dessert should fill the kitchen with amazing aromas by now.
Chill and Serve: Allow the pie to cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. This helps the chocolate filling set and makes the Smores Pie easier to slice. My family loves when I add this extra touch to our Smores Pie: a sprinkle of chocolate shavings before serving.

My kids love it when I add a seasonal twist to our Smores Pie. In the fall, I sprinkle a bit of cinnamon over the marshmallows before broiling, adding a warm, cozy flavor. In the summer, I sometimes add a layer of fresh strawberries or raspberries under the chocolate filling for a fruity twist. My family also loves this delicious Smores Hand Pies!
