It’s summertime and that means camping trips and lots of hotdogs and marshmallows roasting over those roaring campfires.  My kids love S’mores and as soon as the temperature climbs they start asking for them, but since I don’t always have a campfire handy they don’t get to enjoy them as much as I’m sure they’d like.  A couple of weekends ago I was feeling a little adventurous so I decided to try to make a S’mores pie, but while searching online for a recipe I noticed that all of them I found required the use of an oven and that’s one kitchen appliance I like to stay far away from in the summer.  So I decided to come up with my own no-bake S’mores Pie recipe…it was a huge hit with everyone!  Let me know if you decide to try it, you won’t be sorry you did!

No-Bake S’mores Pie

s'mores-pie

Ingredients

1 9 inch graham cracker pie crust
1  package (3.9 oz.) Chocolate Instant Pudding
1/2 cups cold milk
2.5 cups of miniature marshmallows
Hershey’s chocolate bar finely chopped or shaved to garnish pie (optional)

Directions

Prepare pudding according to package directions for pies and pour into graham cracker crust.  ( didn’t have a graham cracker crust so I used graham crackers, a pinch of sugar and butter and made my own…super simple).  Refrigerate pie for at least 2 hours to allow pudding to set.  Once pudding has set , arrange marshmallows on top of the pie and place pie under broiler just until the tops of the marshmallows begin to brown.  Remove pie from oven and sprinkle with chocolate.  Serve immediately.  Leftovers can be refrigerated, but this pie is so much yummier when the marshmallows are ooey, gooey!
