    Ingredients and substitutions for S'more Pie

    • Graham crackers: The perfect base for these bars with their whole wheat flavor. If you are unable to obtain graham crackers, a great substitute in equal measure would be digestive biscuits!
    • Sugar: The best sugar is superfine or caster which dissolves into each layer by adding sweetness without adding additional flavors. You could half and half the sugar with light brown sugar and caster sugar for the base and chocolate center.
    • Butter: Unsalted butter is used for both the base and filling, but if all you have on hand is salted, that works as a fine substitute. Simply leave out any salt suggested in the recipe.
    • Dark chocolate: High quality dark chocolate was used, the type you would snack on instead of baking chocolate, due to it having less additives and leaving a more complimentary flavor to the filling.
    • Eggs: As well as adding structure to the chocolate filling, the eggs will bind everything together so are essential. Room temperature eggs are essential to creating the perfect texture for the brownie filling and make much better meringue.
    • Honey: Honey was used, though this flavor will affect the marshmallow flavor so you could substitute glucose syrup which would equal 82 grams or homemade glucose syrup for this in equal measure.
    • Lemon juice: The tiny bit of lemon juice acts the same as citric acid which helps keep your meringue stable to hold it's shape.

    FAQ's for the best S'more Pie

    Is homemade marshmallow better than store-bought for the S'more Pie?

    While store-bought marshmallows can be used for the S'more Pie, making your own marshmallow adds a special touch to the dessert. The homemade marshmallow has a fresher taste and a melt-in-your-mouth texture, elevating the overall experience of the pie.

    Can I make S'more Pie ahead?

    Yes, the base and filling hold perfectly for up to 2 days after making, however, the marshmallow fluff is best eaten the day it's made. It's still good for up to 18 hours once you've added on top of the pie.

    Can I use the homemade marshmallow in other desserts?

    Absolutely! The homemade marshmallow used in our S'more Pie can also be used in other desserts like hot chocolate, s'more bars, or as a topping for cakes and cupcakes. Get creative and enjoy the versatility of this delicious homemade marshmallow.

    Instructions
     

    Base

    • Preheat the oven to 180ยฐC/350F and line the base of a 15cm or 6 inch cake tin with parchment paper.
    • Combine the crushed cookies, melted butter, sugar and salt and press into the base of the cake tin.
    • Place in the oven for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly brown.
    • Remove and allow to cool.

    Chocolate filling

    • In a double boiler, place the chocolate and butter over low heart. Stir consistently to avoid burning.
    • Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the sugar.
    • Add in both eggs and whisk until thickened and smooth.
    • Pour into the pie base and place in the oven for 25 minutes or until slightly jiggly only in the center.
    • Remove from the oven and allow to cool fully.

    Marshmallow topping

    • For the marshmallow whip, place the water, sugar and honey in a saucepan on medium heat with a candy thermometer, cooking until the temperature reaches 107C/225F.
    • Meanwhile, place the egg whites and lemon juice and whip on medium until soft peaks form, approximately 2 minutes.

    • Slice and serve.
    • Enjoy!

    Notes

    • Honey: Honey was used, though this flavor will affect the marshmallow flavor so you could substitute glucose syrup which would equal 82 grams or homemade glucose syrup for this in equal measure.
    • Dark chocolate: High quality dark chocolate was used here, the type you would snack on instead of baking chocolate, due to it having less additives and leaving a more complimentary flavor to the filling.
    • Graham crackers: These the perfect base for these bars with their light and whole wheat flavor. If you are unable to obtain graham crackers, a great substitute in equal measure would be digestive biscuits!
    • Sugar: The best sugar is superfine or caster which helps dissolve into each of the components by adding sweetness without adding additional flavors. You could half and half the sugar with light brown sugar and caster sugar for the base and chocolate center.
    • Cake tin: Because this pie is on the smaller size, a cake tin was used for a higher crumb and filling ratio. A small pie or tart dish would also work well here.
    • Hand or stand mixer: To whip the marshmallow fluff you need a mixer, particularly as you need to beat in the sugar syrup to those egg whites and you need to be mixing consistently.
    • Store bought marshmallow fluff: So the base and that almost brownie filling looks and sounds easy, but the homemade marshmallow seems too difficult. Feel free to replace with store-bought marshmallow fluff or even placing marshmallows on top and caramelizing under a broiler. This is a stellar pie regardless of how that topping is made!
