S'mores Pie
Description
S'mores Pie begins by melting dark chocolate with high cocoa content slowly over low heat. Heavy whipping cream is whipped with sugar until it reaches medium peaks before being gently combined with the melted chocolate to form a silky, airy mousse-like filling. This filling is poured into a 9-inch graham cracker crust that serves as the crunchy base to complement the creamy texture.
Once the filling is set with plastic wrap pressed to the surface, the pie freezes for several hours to overnight for a firm, sliceable dessert that contrasts the smooth chocolate filling with the crumbly crust. Immediately before serving, the pie is topped with marshmallow creme and browned quickly under the broiler, forming a golden, lightly crisped marshmallow layer that echoes the s'mores campfire tradition.
This pie offers a rich, less sweet chocolate experience thanks to the bittersweet chocolate, which can be adjusted to sweeter semi-sweet or milk chocolate if preferred. Using a kitchen torch instead of the broiler to toast the marshmallow topping provides more control to avoid burning. The pie can be stored frozen and thawed slightly before serving, making it convenient for entertaining.
