I love s’mores but especially on the Fourth of July or any summer party around a fire pit!\u00a0 So, when I saw this recipe in an old cookbook, “The Back in the Day Bakery Cookbook, <\/em>I had to try it! \u00a0This pie was a big hit with everyone who tried it\u2026 second helpings were required!!\u00a0 I used a deep pie dish so I tweaked the recipe a bit, but the credit goes to Cheryl & Griffith Day and their amazing recipes!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST\u00a0DIRECTIONS:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Position rack on lower level and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0In a medium bowl mix all the ingredients until\u00a0all is moistened.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Press mixture into the pie plate going up all the sides and bottom of the pan.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Bake for about 6-8 minutes until golden and let cool before filling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"170712_125614_81\"<\/p>\n

CHOCOLATE FILLING DIRECTIONS:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, corn starch, and salt together in a heat proof bowl until thick and pale in color, set aside.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0In a medium saucepan bring milk to a gentle boil.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Whisk about half\u00a0of the hot milk into the egg mixture, then continue to whisk in the rest in a steady stream.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water)<\/em> and cool the yolk mixture whisking constantly until thick and glossy, about 7-8 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Remove the bowl from the heat and whisk in the vanilla and chocolate.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Let this set for 2 minutes to cool, then whisk in the butter until the custard is smooth and silky.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0When cool, put it into graham cracker crust and cover and put in the fridge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MARSHMALLOW TOPPING DIRECTIONS\u00a0(pay attention and keep whisking!!)<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Put the egg white, cream of tartar, and sugar in a large heatproof bowl.<\/p>\n

\"170712_125614_80\"<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Set over a sauce pan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water)<\/em> and whisk constantly until sugar is completely dissolved and the egg whites are warm to the touch, 3-5 min.\u00a0 The mixture will appear pale and opaque.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0To make sure sugar is dissolved rub the mixture between your fingers.\u00a0 If grainy then whisk some more!<\/p>\n

\"170712_125614_82\"<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Transfer the mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Add the vanilla and starting on low speed whip the egg whites gradually increasing the speed to high until the marshmallow topping is glossy and forms peaks, 6-8 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_0375\"<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0You can fill a pastry bag and pipe the mixture on top of the chocolate pie or just loosely pile it on top making big luscious swirls!<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Toast the topping lightly with a kitchen blow torch!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This pie is best served the same day, but can keep covered for up to 3 days. \u00a0I prepared the crust and chocolate filling the night before and the day I served it topped off the pie with the marshmallow topping.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!!<\/p>\n
