Simple S'more Pie

HokiesMom's Note:

Another great find in the AllYou Nov. 2011 edition. Very easy to make and uses easy to find ingredients. Note: you have to cool pie crust completely before filling so allow time for that to happen.

Crust

• 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 12 crackers processed to crumbs)

Directions:

1. Melt butter and let cool for the pie crust. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. To make crust: Combine, cracker crumbs, cooled butter and sugar in a bowl. Mix well and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Press evenly over the bottom and sides of plate.
3. Bake pie shell until firm about 10 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
4. For filling: Bring cream to a boil over medium-high heat.
5. Place chocolate in a bowl; pour cream on top. Let sit for 5 minutes, then stir until smooth.
6. Whisk in eggs and vanilla.
7. Pour chocolate mixture into crust.
8. Bake until set, about 25 minutes. Cool on a rack.
9. Just before serving, preheat broiler to high. Set an oven rack 5 inches from heat source.
10. Spread marshmallows over top of pie. Broil until toasted WATCH CAREFULLY to prevent scorching - only takes about 20-30 SECONDS.
