If you love camping, this comfort baking classic will make you think of campfires and eating under the stars! A crunchy base, sweet topping, and gooey marshmallows come together to create the perfect S’mores pie.
We used to go camping a lot when I was little, and the thing I remember most wasn’t setting up the tent or sleeping under the stars, but toasting marshmallows around the fire. You had to be super careful; otherwise you went from a golden treat to a burnt sweet in the space of five seconds!
This Smores pie is my tribute to childhood camping. A buttery graham cracker crust covered in a rich milk chocolate ganache, crowned with sweet and sticky marshmallow fluff. It’s a little messy to eat, but it’s guaranteed to make you and your family very happy campers.
The great thing about this pie is that you only need to throw a handful of ingredients together to make it.
If you want the complete S’mores pie experience, why not try your hand at making your own graham crackers and marshmallow fluff? The recipe for these are in my dessert cookbook and on my Instagram account respectively.
PrintComfort baking: S’mores pie
If you love camping, this comfort baking classic will make you think of campfires and eating under
the stars! A crunchy base, sweet topping, and gooey marshmallows come together to create the
perfect S’mores pie.
Ingredients
Here’s what you need to make this moreish S’mores pie
- 250g graham crackers (storebought or homemade) – get the recipe in my book SWEET LOVE
- 80g butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
- 400g milk chocolate, finely chopped
- 300ml heavy cream
- 100g marshmallow fluff (storebought or homemade) – Get the recipe on my insta reels this week
Instructions
My S’mores pie recipe
- Start by making the chocolate ganache. Place the chocolate in a large heat-proof bowl and
bring the cream to a boil over a medium-high heat. Once heated, pour directly over the
chocolate and allow to sit for a couple of minutes - Use a rubber spatula or whisk to gently combine the chocolate and cream. Keep stirring until
the mixture has cooled, and then place in the refrigerator for about half an hour - Prepare a 24 cm (9in) pie tin by greasing with butter
- While the ganache is chilling, make the pie crust. Add the graham crackers and 50g of the
butter to a food processor and mix, you should get a dough that holds well together. If not,
add more butter, a tablespoon at a time - Spread the graham cracker dough in the base of the pie tin by pressing down with the palm
of your hand. Completely cover the base and 2-3cm of the sides of the tin - Pour the chilled and thickened ganache into the pie crust and set in the fridge for a couple of
hours, or overnight - When ready to serve, pour the marshmallow fluff over the top of the pie and enjoy straight
away!
Notes
Making S’mores pie: my top tips
- If you can’t get graham crackers, a plain biscuit like a digestive works well. Alternatively, why
not make your own using the recipe in my dessert cookbook, Sweet Love? - Milk chocolate is best in this recipe, but dark chocolate is great if you’re looking for a more
decadent treat - For an extra sweet taste and some campfire fun, gently toast the marshmallow using a fire
torch before serving. You can also pop your pie under the grill/broiler, but please be careful
that your pie doesn’t catch fire!
