The Ultimate S’mores Pie
If you don’t like s’mores you can just show yourself the door. I don’t mean that. But also I kind of do, because if you don’t like s’mores I just don’t know if we can get along. Like, what’s not to like about a gooey, toasted marshmallow and melted chocolate sandwiched between two buttery graham crackers? The only downside I can see is that they can be a bit messy to eat. So, for those of you who would rather eat s’mores daintily with a fork, may I present the ultimate s’mores pies AKA a decadent, rich, fudgy pie that takes all the flavors of a s’mores sans the sticky fingers.
What is a s’mores pie?
Only the best pie you’ll ever have! It’s really more of a tart, I suppose, but s’mores pie just has a nice ring to it, don’t you think? Like all s’mores, this pie has three main flavors: graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallows. You’ll make a buttery, graham cracker crust, fudgy chocolate filling and a melt-in-your-mouth toasted marshmallow meringue. The result is a delectable pie that tastes like an elevated s’mores.

Tips for making perfect s’mores pie
This s’mores pie recipe is pretty straight forward, but of course I have some tips and tricks for you to ensure you get a delicious pie every time you make it!
Pack the graham cracker crust in very tightly: The last thing you want is a graham cracker crust that crumbles apart. This is why we make ours extra buttery–it’s obviously delicious, but also holds everything together and makes for an easy release!
Only stir the filling in one direction: This will prevent the the butter and chocolate from splitting!
Use high quality chocolate: Chocolate is such an important flavor in this pie, so don’t try to get away with using the cheap kind.
Have fun with the marshmallow topping: You’re going for a 1:1 marshmallow meringue ratio here. And have fun with the blow torch–it’s one of the few times it’s perfectly acceptable to play with fire.
Don’t feel like making a meringue? YOU DON’T HAVE TO.
This s’mores pie is equally delicious with a bag or marshmallows dumped on top. Forgo the meringue entirely and simple top your pie with marshmallows. Just like the meringue topping, you can use a blow torch to melt the marshmallows or place the pie under a broiler in your oven for a few minutes! Just be sure to toast carefully to prevent anything going up in flames 🙂
How to store s’mores pie
This pie never lasts long in my house, but should you have leftovers, this s’mores pie keeps well in the fridge for up to 7 days! I recommend covering it with tinfoil tightly so nothing dries out! The meringue topping does get a little dried out over time, so I do recommend topping and torching right before you are ready to serve the pie!

First, make the graham cracker crust. Place all the ingredients for the graham cracker crust in a medium bowl and stir together until all the graham cracker crumbs are coated and resemble wet sand. Pour the crust into a standard size pie dish and use your fingers to press the graham cracker crumbs into an even layer along the bottom and edges of a standard size tart pan. I like to use a measuring cup (or something else with a flat bottom) to really the pack the crust in. Set aside.
Next, make the filling. Melt the chocolate and butter in a saucepan over low heat, stirring in one direction (this will prevent the mixture from splitting). Stir until homogenous and remove from the heat.
Set aside.
Beat the eggs, salt, and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Fold 1/3 of the egg mixture into the chocolate until well mixed. Gently fold in the remaining 2/3 of the egg mixture.
Pour the chocolate filling into the pie crust, using a rubber spatula to smooth out the filling. Bake until puffed and just beginning to crack (about 25 minutes).
Allow the pie to cool for an hour before placing in the fridge to chill.
When ready to serve, make the topping. In a stand mixer fit with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until frothy. Continue beating on medium high speed and slowly stream in the granulated sugar. Beat for 3 to 5 minutes or until the meringue is no longer gritty and holds stiff peaks when you life the whisk up. Spread the meringue over the top of the pie, using a spoon to make big swirls and peaks.
Use a kitchen blow torch to toast the exterior of the the meringue. If you don’t have a blow torch, you can also place in an oven set to broil for 1 minute, but be sure to keep an eye on it because it will toast very quickly!
Enjoy!

Notes
You can also buy a pre-made graham cracker crust!
You can also just top your pie with marshmallows and place in the oven for 8 minute to toast them up!
I made this for a Friendsgiving this weekend and it was a hit! I bought the crust pre-made. And instead of meringue I put marshmallows on top. I put them on right before serving the pie at 350 for 8 minutes. Everyone loved it! Easy and tasty
Hi Kari! This pie keeps well in the fridge for up to 7 days! I would recommend making the pie as directed but holding off on putting on the marshmallow meringue topping until you’re ready to serve it as the meringue can deflate over time!
