Equipment

<ul class="equipment-main-list"><li class="equipment-single-item">23cm (9-inch) pie dish</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Food processor</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Stand mixer with whisk attachment</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Cooking torch (or broiler)</li><li class="equipment-single-item">Heatproof bowl</li></ul>

Directions

<ol class="no-list-style"><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 1</h4>Begin with the graham cracker crust by processing the graham crackers in a food processor until they form fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place the crackers in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. The finer the crumbs, the more cohesive your crust will be.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 2</h4>Transfer the graham cracker crumbs to a bowl and stir in the sugar and salt until well combined. Pour in the melted butter and mix thoroughly until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 3</h4>Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into your pie dish, creating an even layer across the bottom and up the sides. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to help compact the crust evenly – this prevents a crumbly crust that falls apart when serving. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 4</h4>For the chocolate layer, place the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream just until it begins to simmer at the edges (do not let it boil). The tiny bubbles around the edge are your visual cue that it's hot enough to melt the chocolate without scorching it.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 5</h4>Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit undisturbed for 2 minutes to allow the chocolate to soften. Then whisk gently until completely smooth. Add the room temperature butter and vanilla extract, whisking until fully incorporated. The butter adds a silky texture and helps prevent your ganache from becoming too firm when chilled.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 6</h4>Pour the chocolate ganache into the chilled graham cracker crust, using a spatula to smooth it into an even layer. Return the pie to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the chocolate layer is completely set.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 7</h4>For the marshmallow topping, set up a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water). Combine the egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the bowl. The cream of tartar acts as a stabilizer for your meringue, helping it maintain its volume and structure.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 8</h4>Whisk the mixture constantly while it heats until the sugar completely dissolves and the mixture is warm to the touch (about 70°C if you have a thermometer). Test by rubbing a small amount between your fingers – it should feel smooth with no graininess. This process pasteurizes the egg whites while creating the base for your marshmallow topping.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 9</h4>Transfer the warm egg white mixture to the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add the vanilla extract and beat on medium-high speed until it forms stiff, glossy peaks – about 5-7 minutes. The meringue should hold its shape firmly when you lift the beater and form a sharp peak that doesn't fall over.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 10</h4>Remove the chilled pie from the refrigerator and spoon the marshmallow topping over the set chocolate layer. Use the back of a spoon to create decorative peaks and swirls that will toast beautifully. These texture variations create more surface area for caramelization, enhancing the visual appeal and flavor complexity.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 11</h4>Use a kitchen torch to carefully toast the marshmallow topping until golden brown with some darker caramelized spots, mimicking a campfire-toasted marshmallow. Work in small sections, keeping the torch moving to prevent burning. If you don't have a torch, place the pie under a preheated broiler for 30-60 seconds, watching constantly to prevent over-browning.</li><li class="MethodStepper"><h4 class="step-title">Step 12</h4>Return the pie to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to ensure clean slices. For the neatest presentation, dip your knife in hot water and wipe it clean between each cut. Serve chilled and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though the marshmallow topping is at its best within the first 24 hours.</li></ol>

FAQs

What ingredients are used in S'mores Cream Pie?

This no-bake treat requires graham crackers, butter, sugar and salt for the crust; dark chocolate, heavy cream, butter and vanilla for the ganache; and egg whites, sugar, cream of tartar and vanilla extract for the marshmallow topping that gets beautifully toasted.

How to cook S'mores Cream Pie at home?

Learn how to cook S'mores Cream Pie through a simple no-bake process. Create a graham cracker crust, fill it with silky chocolate ganache, then top with homemade marshmallow meringue. The only cooking involved is heating cream for the ganache and using a kitchen torch (or grill) to toast the marshmallow topping for that authentic campfire flavour.

Can I use store-bought marshmallow fluff instead of making the meringue topping?

Yes, you can substitute store-bought marshmallow fluff as a time-saving alternative. Spread it over the set chocolate layer and torch it as directed. However, homemade meringue offers a lighter texture, better stability, and superior toasting quality for that authentic s'mores experience.

How do I get clean slices when serving this dessert?

For perfect slices, chill the pie thoroughly (at least 4 hours), then dip a sharp knife in hot water and wipe clean between each cut. The hot knife glides through the marshmallow topping and chocolate layer without dragging or creating messy edges.

Why does my chocolate ganache sometimes seize or become grainy?

Chocolate ganache seizes when it comes into contact with even small amounts of water or if the cream is too hot. Ensure all equipment is completely dry, chop chocolate finely for even melting, and heat cream just until it simmers but doesn't boil. Adding butter helps create a smoother, more forgiving texture.
