S'mores Pie

Adapted from Pastry Affair

This S'moes pie was absolutely delicious.  The chocolate layer was almost cheesecakey (minus the cheese) and the graham layer was scrumptious.  I used cocoa for the chocolate so it was very rich, I've changed the recipe to use milk chocolate because I think it would taste more like the classic s'more.

Graham Cracker Crust
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/2 cup butter, melted

Chocolate Filling
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup milk (I used skim)
10 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
Pinch of salt
2 eggs, whisked
1 bag of large marshmallows

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until evenly coated. Press mixture into a 9 inch pie plate. Bake for 10 minutes, or until fragrant.
Keep oven running.

In a medium saucepan, whisk together cream and milk. Warm over medium-low heat. Add in chocolate and stir until chocolate has melted and is smooth. Slowly add whisked eggs and mix until smooth.
Pour chocolate filling into baked pie crust. Bake for 20 minutes, or until chocolate filling is set and does not move when pie is lightly shaken. Remove from oven.

Cut marshmallows in half. Place halves in concentric circles over the top of the pie until covered.
Set oven to broil. Place pie under the broiler and lightly toast the marshmallows. This can take anywhere from 2-5 minutes, so watch those marshmallows closely!
Chill pie in the refrigerator to set for 2-3 hours.
Cut the pie while cold, but enjoy the pie warm, trust me :)
