Ingredients
Crushed graham crackers
1 1/2 cups (About 10 crackers, crushed)
Unsalted butter
7 tablespoons (Melted)
Light brown sugar
2 tablespoons (Packed)
Whole milk
2 cups (None)
Heavy cream
1 cup (None)
Sugar
1/2 cup (None)
Unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup (Sifted)
Salt
1 pinch (None)

1 1/2 teaspoons (None)
Large marshmallows

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
2
In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they are finely crushed. Combine the crushed crackers with melted butter and brown sugar in a mixing bowl, and mix until the texture resembles wet sand.
3
Transfer the crust mixture to a 9-inch pie plate, and firmly press it into the bottom and up the sides to form an even layer. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until it’s lightly browned. Allow it to cool completely before filling.
4
In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the whole milk, heavy cream, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and pinch of salt. Whisk well to combine.
5
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, continuously whisking until it thickens, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the finely chopped bittersweet chocolate and vanilla extract until fully melted and smooth.
6
Pour the chocolate pudding into the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula. Cover the surface of the pudding with plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent a skin from forming, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
7
Just before serving, preheat your broiler. Place the halved marshmallows in a single layer on top of the pie, covering the surface evenly.
8
Place the pie on a baking sheet and broil in the oven approximately 4 inches from the heat source for 2-3 minutes, or until the marshmallows are golden and toasted. Keep a close eye on them, as they can burn quickly.
9
Alternatively, you can use a kitchen torch to brown the marshmallows to your desired level of toastiness. Serve your delicious S'mores Pie immediately for maximum delight!
