Ingredients You’ll Need

  • ½ cup salted butter, softened: This buttery goodness serves as the base for both flavor and texture. Make sure it’s soft to achieve a creamy mix.
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar: Adds a subtle depth of flavor, enhancing the sweetness. You can substitute with more granulated sugar if needed.
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar: A classic sweetener that balances the richness of the butter.
  • 1 large egg: This binds everything together; room temperature eggs work best.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract: For a warm, inviting aroma and flavor that elevates the dessert.
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour: Forms the structural base for the crust. Gluten-free blends can be used for an alternative.
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs: The signature flavor of s’mores, providing that iconic crunch. You can crush your own or buy pre-made crumbs.
  • 7-ounce container of marshmallow creme: This is key for achieving that gooey, sweet layer. If you prefer a homemade option, you can make meringue instead.
  • 4 Hershey chocolate bars (1.5 ounces each): The traditional choice for maximum chocolatey satisfaction; you could also use dark chocolate for a richer taste.
  • ½ cup mini marshmallows, plus a few more for the top: For those plump, fluffy bites of marshmallow. Optional: use flavored marshmallows for a fun twist.

How to Make S’mores Pie

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9″ pie pan. Make sure not to use a deep dish as we want that perfect pie depth.
  2. Mix the Crust: In a large bowl, beat together the ½ cup of softened butter, ¼ cup of brown sugar, and ¼ cup of granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Then blend in one egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla just until combined. Now stir in 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1 cup of graham cracker crumbs until everything is well mixed.
  3. Form the Crust: Press approximately ⅔ of the dough into the bottom and up the sides of your prepared pie pan, creating a nice even crust.
  4. Layer with Marshmallow Creme: Carefully spread 7 ounces of marshmallow creme over the bottom of that delicious crust. Then, break the Hershey chocolate squares into pieces and place them on top, saving one bar for later. Sprinkle with ½ cup of mini marshmallows generously over the chocolate.
  5. Top with Remaining Dough: Take the remaining dough and flatten small 2-inch disks, then lightly press these over the top of the marshmallows. It’s okay if a few marshmallows peek through—let that gooeyness shine!
  6. Bake the Pie: Bake in the oven for 13 minutes. After that, before the final baking, place a few more marshmallows and the reserved chocolate bar on top, and if you’d like, sprinkle some broken graham crackers on top as well. Bake for another 5-7 minutes or until the marshmallows are perfectly toasted. If needed, broil the last minute carefully for a golden finish.
  7. Cool & Slice: Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces, as this lets the flavors meld and the filling stabilize.

Storing & Reheating

To store your S’mores Pie at room temperature, cover it with plastic wrap, and it will last for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate it in an airtight container for up to a week. If you need to freeze your pie, ensure it is tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and aluminum foil for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply place slices in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. The texture may slightly change after freezing, but a quick heat will refresh its gooey glory.

Chef’s Helpful Tips

  • Avoid over-mixing the crust: This ensures your pie remains tender and flaky instead of tough.
  • Use room temperature ingredients: This helps create a smoother mixture, enhancing the overall texture.
  • Watch the baking time closely: Each oven varies, so keep an eye on the marshmallows to avoid burning during the final bake.
  • Consider adding flavors: A teaspoon of espresso powder or a dash of sea salt can elevate your chocolate flavor.
  • Make ahead options are fantastic: You can prepare the crust and fill it with marshmallow creme in advance, just bake it the same day!

S’mores Pie combines nostalgia and flavor into a delightful dessert that’s both comforting and impressive. Easy to make, it’s perfect for family gatherings, quiet evenings, or when the s’mores craving strikes but the campfire isn’t an option. Each slice promises a sweet treat that nourishes both the body and soul. Feel free to explore variations that suit your creativity! Whether you prefer extra chocolate or a twist of flavor, there’s always room for experimentation.
