Summer has come to an end and already the shops are filled with the flavors and scents of pumpkin and cinnamon. Though this past weekend for my birthday I thought I would like something a little more chocolaty.
My husband usually makes me a chocolate cake for my birthday, but for some reason I’d been wanting a chocolate pudding pie. I started thinking about it and thought why not a S’more Pie. After all the no-bake crusts are already gram cracker, and then we’d have the chocolate pudding pie filling all that is needed is a marshmallow frosting.
I did a search online, and though I did find some S’more Pie recipes I didn’t care for any of them. I wanted something easy like a pudding pie, basically a no bake option, but with more of a chocolate taste and not just pudding. Finally I decided to combine a couple of recipe ingredients. Essentially it’s a traditional pudding pie with the addition of melted chocolate and condensed milk.
I did forget to take a picture of the Cool Whip that was also added.
Next I needed to find a marshmallow frosting. I did a search online and found a lot of recipes and from the pictures they looked really good, just like toasted marshmallow. However, after reading the recipes 90% of all the ones I found were just egg meringue, they didn’t even have marshmallow. So, I kind of also just winged the frosting by making a very basic buttercream frosting then adding some melted marshmallows to the mix. Although it came out okay, I think it may be just a little too sweet.
The pie filling was enough for the 9″ crust and two mini pies and since I was worried about the frosting being too sweet, I topped the mini pies with just plain marshmallows, instead of the frosting.
Before serving I toasted the marshmallows a little with a lighter, to really give it a S’more like effect.
