Ingredients Notes
To bring this pie to life, you’ll need a handful of familiar ingredients. For the base, you can use store-bought graham cracker crust or make your own for a personal touch. Choose high-quality dark chocolate for a richer flavor, but milk chocolate is a fine substitute if you prefer it sweeter. Marshmallow fluff is essential for achieving that signature s’mores consistency. A splash of vanilla extract elevates the overall flavor, lending an irresistible aroma.
Recipe Steps
Step 1
Begin by preparing your graham cracker crust. If using homemade, press the mixture into a pie pan, ensuring it covers the base and sides evenly. Chill in the refrigerator as you prepare the filling.
Step 2
Melt your chocolate gently using a microwave or a water bath, stirring until smooth. Be careful not to overheat to preserve the chocolate’s rich texture and taste.
Step 3
Mix the melted chocolate with half of the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour this mixture into your chilled graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.

Step 4
Top the pie with the remaining marshmallow fluff, spreading it to cover the chocolate layer completely. For a toasted effect, briefly use a hand-held kitchen torch.
Step 5
Refrigerate the pie for at least two hours or until set. This allows the flavors to meld perfectly and ensures a sliceable texture.
Storage Options
To keep your no-bake s’mores pie fresh, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, wrap it securely in plastic wrap followed by foil, and freeze for up to one month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving, and if needed, re-toast the marshmallow top slightly before serving.
Variations & Substitutions
For a gluten-free version, opt for gluten-free graham crackers or a nut-based crust. To add a bit of crunch, consider sprinkling crushed nuts or pretzels over the top. Those with dietary restrictions might try a vegan chocolate and plant-based marshmallows to suit their needs.
Serving Suggestions
This pie makes an excellent ending to a barbeque or a refreshing treat during an afternoon picnic. For presentation, garnish with mini chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Pair it with iced coffee or a glass of milk for the ultimate dessert experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular marshmallows instead of marshmallow fluff? Yes, you can melt regular marshmallows with a bit of butter to achieve a similar consistency. Just ensure they’re completely smooth before mixing with chocolate.
How do I toast the top if I don’t have a kitchen torch? You can briefly place the finished pie under a broiler. Watch closely as it browns, as this can happen quickly and burn if left unattended.
What other flavors can I incorporate? Adding a pinch of cinnamon to the crust or a layer of peanut butter above the chocolate mixture can create fun flavor profiles. Experiment with seasonal fruits as toppings for a fresh twist.
