Real S'Mores Pie THM:S

You guys! It's the end of summer and I wanted to end it with a BANG! What is the American favorite summer treat? Anybody? No?


S'MORES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So, I made a S'Mores Pie. Not the kind that showcases chocolate by making a chocolate pudding pie then slathers marshmallow fluff all over. NO. Do you really think of chocolate when you think of S'Mores??? Me neither. I don't know about you but I think of marshmallows galore. This pie showcases marshmallows. Sooooooooooo yummy!!


Here is what I did:


For the "graham cracker":
  • I used the Simple Simon Almond Pressed Crust From The Trim Healthy Mama cookbook, Page 323.
  • I just pressed it into a greased pie pan. You can press it into a regular baking dish and it'll be just fine though.
  • Save a little for later. It'll be pretty as a garnish.

For the chocolate:
  • I used the Handy Chocolate Syrup from The Trim Healthy Mama cookbook, page 479.
  • I drizzled the cooled syrup onto the crust.
  • I drooled. A lot.
  • Refrigerate while you're whipping up the marshmallow.
For the "marshmallow":
  • I used the 'Mazing Marshmallows" from The Trim Healthy Mama cookbook, page 389.
    • I used my Bosch countertop mixer. I recommend that over the KitchenAid as it takes 1/5 of the time to do stuff. KitchenAid will work just fine, though.
  • plop it on top of the cooled chocolate syrup in the crust. Smooth the top to make it look good for the cameras, which I forgot to include in this show. Oooops. Sorry!
  • Throw some of that crust leftover on top. Make sure you're careful to make it look pretty!!
  • Refrigerate the pie for a few hours. I refrigerated overnight because this was for Sunday School. Egads.


This was time-consuming, but I think that was because I was putting kiddos to bed and running around like a chicken blah blah blah. You know the saying. The time put into this, though, was well worth it. It is was yummy. And reminiscent of a S'More. Just what I wanted. Sorry for the lack of pictures. I am not a photographer, and I am forgetful.
