Easy S’mores Pie Recipe
Are you ready for a new favorite pie? With this dessert, you get all the classic s’mores flavors blended into a three-layered incredibly decadent pie that’s served perfectly chilled and refreshing! Usually, we all think of s’mores as a summer dessert, but thanks to this pie you can have a s’mores dessert any day of the year when the craving strikes. I love taking it to Thanksgiving dinner, because you definitely need some chocolate to compliment the pumpkin pie. Plus, this is an easy pie to make ahead of time and doesn’t require the oven! It begins with a simple homemade graham cracker base (I include a hint of salt to balance out the sweetness of the pie), then it’s layered with a silky smooth chocolate filling that melts in your mouth, and topped with a meringue (the kind that will remind you of fluffy marshmallows). And last but not least—it’s toasted to a stunning golden brown finish with a culinary torch! The only difficult part of making this pie is waiting to dive in. There may just be a slice missing when you take it to the party, it’s just too irresistible!

How to Make S’mores Pie
Is there a graham cracker substitute for the pie crust?
Yes, if graham crackers aren’t available where you live, I recommend using a slightly sweet, fairly neutral biscuit. In Europe, I believe the closest substitute would be plain Digestive biscuits. I think this would also be delicious with a pretzel crust too.
Can I make this pie in advance?
This pie does keep well for 3 days in the fridge. Just note that the meringue topping may deflate a bit as it sits—consider adding the meringue and torching right before serving.
Can I toast the meringue under a broiler?
You can toast your Smores Pie under a broiler as long as you don’t use a glass or ceramic pie dish as these can shatter with extreme temperatures. Spread the topping evenly so it will brown evenly and keep a very close eye on it.
Tips for the Best S’mores Pie
Make sure no drop of egg yolk gets into the marshmallow meringue mixture. Even the smallest amount of egg yolk can ruin a meringue! Feel free to use any chocolate you have on hand in this homemade s’mores pie. I prefer a mixture of sweeter and darker chocolates so it tastes like a traditional s’more, but use whatever you prefer. Be sure to check the temperature of the meringue with a candy thermometer. It needs to be the proper temperature to whip up properly and for food safety.
