To have that second piece of pie is to have "s'more pie"! If you enjoy an ooey-gooey S'more, a slice of this pie will give you that same graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow enjoyment.
Ingredients:Crust: 9 graham cracker boards, 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted. Chocolate filling: 2 egs, at room temperature, 3/4 cup 2% milk, 3/4 cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces, 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder. Marshmallow topping: 2 egg whites, 2 tablespoons corn syrup, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, pinch of salt, 1/3 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Instructions: Crust: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Break graham crackers into food processor and run until fine crumbs are formed. Transfer crumbs to a bowl and mix in brown sugar and melted butter. Press mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until crust is slightly brown. Cool 10 minutes.
Chocolate filling: Reduce oven to 325 degrees. Beat eggs in a small bowl; set aside. Combine milk, cream, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat until simmering. Remove from heat and add vanilla, chocolate and cocoa powder; stir until combined and smooth. Stir about 3/4 cup of the chocolate mixture into the beaten eggs; stir chocolate-egg mixture back into saucepan and mix well. Pour filling into cooled crust. Bake at 325 degrees for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and glossy (do not overbake or it could bubble and crack). Cool completely on a wire rack.
Marshmallow Topping: Bring 1 inch of water to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Combine egg whites, corn syrup, sugar and salt in a metal bowl large enough to sit on top of the saucepan (or use a double-boiler pan). Whisk constantly in bowl over water until suar is dissolved and eggs have reached 160 degrees, about 3-5 minutes (do not overcook, as the eggs could scramble). Pour mixture and vanilla into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a wire whisk and beat on high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes.
Heat broiler. Spoon Marshmallow Topping on cooled pie, leaving a 1-inch margin from edge. Broil until topping begins to brown, 1 minute.
