Smore Pie
Oct 14, 2011 Cupcakes Bakery
The weather is getting colder and colder, which means the camping season is over. Perhaps, like me, you are stuck with a bunch of left over marshmallows and graham crackers from smores supplies. Well I have come up with an idea to help resolve this issue: smores pie! It’s quite simple: graham cracker crust, chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallow. Simply delicious! Here is the recipe:
Graham cracker crust adapted from Joy the Baker:
- 1 1/2 cups finely crushed graham crackers or crisp ginger snap cookies
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- pinch of salt
- 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
method:
- preheat oven to 350F
- the graham crackers, sugar and salt in a bowl and mix together
- add the butter and combine until all the graham crackers crumbs are covered in butter
- press into a 9 inch pie mold
- bake for 15 minutes
- let cool completely before filling
Ganache filling adapted from Le Larousse des Desserts:
- 250g of chocolate
- 70g of butter
- 1 cup of whipping cream
method:
- melt the chocolate in a double boiler
- whip the butter into the chocolate
- gently whip the whipping cream into the chocolate
- spread into the cooled graham cracker crust
Marshmallow topping:
- about 20 marshmallow
method:
- cut each marshmallow in half
- place on the pie filling
- put the pie under the broiler in the oven, keep a close eye on it it will toast very fast!
It’s a bit of a mess to serve since the marshmallow sticks to the knife, but it’s totally worth a bit of a messy serving session. If you leave the pie in the fridge for a few hours, the ganache will harden and the marshmallow won’t stick to the knife as much, but you won’t get the warm smores side of the pie.
