Ingredients
  

  • For the crust: 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10–12 full sheets)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • For the chocolate filling: 12 ounces good-quality chocolate, chopped (semisweet or a mix of semisweet and dark)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the topping: 3–4 cups mini marshmallows (or large marshmallows cut in halves)
  • Optional: crushed graham crackers and a drizzle of melted chocolate for garnish
  • Equipment: 9-inch pie dish
  • Mixing bowls
  • Small saucepan
  • Spatula
  • Kitchen torch or oven broiler

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust. In a bowl, stir together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and salt. Pour in melted butter and mix until the crumbs look like wet sand and hold when pressed.
  • Press and bake. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, until fragrant and lightly set. Let it cool while you make the filling.
  • Heat the cream. In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it’s steaming and just starting to bubble around the edges. Do not boil.
  • Make the ganache filling. Place chopped chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate, let sit 2 minutes, then add vanilla and salt. Stir gently until smooth and glossy.
  • Fill the crust. Pour the chocolate filling into the cooled crust. Smooth the top with a spatula. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until set.
  • Add the marshmallows. Once set, cover the top of the pie with mini marshmallows in an even layer, leaving no gaps. Pack them snugly for a pretty finish.
  • Toast the topping. Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows until golden brown. If using a broiler, set the rack in the upper third, preheat the broiler, and watch closely—1–2 minutes is usually enough. Rotate the pie if needed for even color.
  • Finish and serve. Let the toasted marshmallows cool for 5–10 minutes to set slightly. Slice with a knife lightly coated in oil or warm water for cleaner cuts. Add extra crushed grahams or a chocolate drizzle if you like.
