Hey there, fellow food lovers! Nyla here, ready to whisk you away on another flavor adventure. Get ready to meet my latest obsession: Smores Pie. This isn’t just dessert; it’s a campfire in every bite, a cozy hug for your taste buds, and a guaranteed way to turn any meal into a celebration.

I’m talking about the kind of Smores Pie that makes people close their eyes and savor every single crumb. I stumbled upon this recipe during one of my famous late-night kitchen experiments. I was craving something sweet and familiar but wanted to kick it up a notch.

The result? Pure delicious magic. This Smores Pie has become my go-to dessert when I want to impress without spending hours in the kitchen. I’m so excited to share it with you!

You know I’m all about comfort food with a twist and bold satisfying flavors. This Smores Pie is the perfect embodiment of that. We’re taking the classic campfire treat and transforming it into a show-stopping pie that’s surprisingly easy to make.

Imagine: a buttery graham cracker crust, a rich chocolate filling, and a toasted marshmallow topping that’s begging to be devoured. It’s the ultimate Smores dessert, and trust me, you NEED this in your life. Let’s get baking!

INGREDIENTS You Need

This Smores Pie ingredient list is all about layering those classic flavors. Here’s what you’ll need to create this masterpiece:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs: These form the base of our delicious pie. You can buy them pre-crushed or crush whole graham crackers yourself!
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted: This binds the graham cracker crumbs together, creating a buttery, flavorful crust.
¼ cup granulated sugar: Adds a touch of sweetness to the crust.
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk: This is the secret to our rich and creamy chocolate filling.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract: Enhances the chocolate flavor and adds a touch of warmth.
¼ teaspoon salt: Balances the sweetness of the filling.
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips: The star of our chocolate filling! Feel free to use dark chocolate for a more intense flavor.
2 cups mini marshmallows: For that iconic toasted marshmallow topping.
1 tablespoon cornstarch: This helps to stabilize the marshmallow topping and prevent it from becoming too runny.

Smores pie ingredients including graham crackers, chocolate chips, marshmallows, and sweetened condensed milk.

No worries if you don’t have semi-sweet chocolate chips. I use dark chocolate all the time in my Smores Pie for a richer, more intense flavor. You can grab most of these ingredients during your normal shopping trip. You can also find a ready-made S’mores Pie at some specialty bakeries.

Here’s my Smores Pie secret that takes it from good to incredible. A pinch of sea salt sprinkled on top of the toasted marshmallows. This small addition elevates the entire flavor profile!

Storage Tip: If you have any leftover Smores Pie (which I highly doubt!), store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. It’s the perfect make-ahead dessert for busy families.

Let’s Make Some!

Alright, fellow food lovers, let’s dive into the delicious magic of making Smores Pie! Trust me, this is easier than you think, and the results are mind-blowing.

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Let’s get that oven ready for some Smores dessert magic!
In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to firmly press the crust. This will ensure it stays together.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden. While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In my kitchen, this Graham cracker pie usually takes about 9 minutes to be golden.
In a medium saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and heated through.
Remove from heat and stir in chocolate chips until melted and smooth. This is my favorite part of making Smores Pie. Watch the magic happen!
Pour the chocolate mixture into the baked graham cracker crust. Spread evenly.
In a medium bowl, toss mini marshmallows with cornstarch. This prevents a runny marshmallow topping.
Sprinkle the marshmallow mixture evenly over the chocolate filling. This is where the magic starts happening!
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden brown and toasted. While your Marshmallow pie is doing its thing, get ready for some amazing aromas!
Let the pie cool completely before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the filling to set. In my kitchen, this Smores Pie usually takes about 2 hours to cool completely.

Don’t worry if your Chocolate Smores Pie looks a little messy. The beauty of this recipe is that it’s rustic and delicious! Feel free to broil the marshmallow for a darker top. Watch closely so it doesn’t burn!

This recipe is inspired by the simple joy of campfire treats, much like the Smores Campfire Pie (Pi Day 3.14) – Portlandia Pie Lady shares. For another twist on this, check out the pumpkin smores cookies!
