Smores Pie
Summer is the season on S’mores, and this S’mores Pie has every amazing element of the classic summer treat all inside a homemade pie crust!
Ingredients
Pie crust:
- 8 oz greek yogurt cream cheese, diced
- 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, small dice
- 3 cups flour
- ½ cup pure cane sugar
- a pinch of salt
- approx 3 Tbsp cold water
For the layers:
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1¼ cup chocolate chips
- about 4 graham crackers
- several handfuls of mini marshmallows
Instructions
- ***NOTE: My homemade pie crust recipe makes a big batch, I used approx ⅓ of the dough for this pie. The dough can be portioned out and refrigerated or freezed***
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- If you are making the pie crust from scratch... Add the flour, sugar and salt to a food processor with the dough blade. Pulse a few times to mix.
- Add in the cream cheese and butter. Pulse until the butter and cream cheese are just incorporated.
- Add in the cold water and again just pulse a few times until the dough starts to come together. You don't want to over mix otherwise the crust will be tough rather then tender and flaky.
- Pour the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough just a little bit. Cut the dough.
- Break off a baseball sized ball of the dough and roll out into a circle using a rolling pin to about 10 inches in diameter.
- Place the dough in the bottom of a 10 inch round,tart pan with the drop out bottom. Work the crust up the sides of the dish and allow to fall over the sides a bit {you can press the crust down on the top of the tart pan and peel off the excess crust}.
- Using a fork. poke the bottom of the crust all over, this prevents the dough from bubbling up while baking.
- Bake for about 22 minutes, until golden.
- In a small pot, slightly warm the cream. Add the chocolate chips to a bowl and pour the warm cream over top. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the chocolate ganache into the pie crust. Using a spoon spread out the chocolate until evenly smoothed out.
- Add a layer of graham crackers {broken up to fit} over top the ganache.
- Add on several handfuls of mini marshmallow to cover the entire top well. Place in the oven, under the broiler {NOT TOO CLOSE, it will burn!} for just 30-45 seconds until toasted.
