The cooking process explained

This recipe is a straightforward process that consists of mixing the brownie batter, baking, and layering the s’mores elements on top. You’ll start by preparing the pie crust with the graham cracker crumbs and then whip together the brownie batter. Once assembled and baked to perfection, the pie is garnished with gooey marshmallows that get a brief stint under the broiler for that delectable toasted finish.

What you’ll need

Gather these items to bring this delicious dessert to life:

1 Egg yolk
2 large Eggs
1/2 cup All-purpose flour
3/4 cup Cocoa powder, unsweetened
1 1/4 cup Granulated sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tsp Vanilla extract, pure
2 tbsp Vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs
14 tbsp Butter, unsalted
24 large Marshmallows

Feel free to swap in coconut oil if you prefer, and you can use gluten-free graham cracker crumbs to cater to dietary needs.

Directions to follow

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a pie dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the egg yolk, eggs, and granulated sugar until the mixture is well blended.
Add in the melted butter and your choice of vegetable oil, stirring until combined.
Gradually incorporate the flour, cocoa powder, and salt, mixing until you achieve a smooth batter.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips along with the vanilla extract for that extra indulgent flavor.
Pour the brownie mixture into your prepared pie dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until set but still moist for that fudgy texture.
Once baked, remove it from the oven and sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs evenly across the top.
Place the marshmallows on top of the graham cracker layer, ensuring an even coverage.
Put it back in the oven and broil for about 1-2 minutes until the marshmallows are toasted and golden.
Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing it into wedges to serve.

Best ways to enjoy it

To serve this delightful pie, you can simply slice it into wedges and present it warm for that gooey experience. A scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side can elevate the flavors even more — think of it as your own personal sundae! You might also consider garnishing with extra chocolate drizzle or crumbled graham crackers for a little added flair.

Keeping leftovers fresh

After indulging, you may want to store any leftovers. Allow the pie to cool completely before covering it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. It can sit at room temperature for up to two days or be refrigerated for up to a week. If you wish to preserve it even longer, consider freezing it in slices — wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap first, then place it in an airtight container. When ready to enjoy, simply thaw at room temperature.

Pro chef tips

For optimal results, ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing. This helps create a smoother batter and ensures everything incorporates evenly. Additionally, don’t skip the cooling step after broiling the marshmallows; allowing them to set slightly makes slicing much easier and keeps the toppings from sliding off.

Creative twists

If you’re looking to switch things up, consider adding different mix-ins to the brownie batter, such as peanut butter chips or chopped nuts of your choice. You can also layer fresh berries on top of the marshmallows for a burst of tartness that contrasts nicely with the sweetness. For a seasonal twist, try adding pumpkin spice or peppermint extract during the holiday season.
