Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 oz semisweet chocolate
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 3 eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 4 egg whites, room temperature
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • Pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This is crucial for achieving the perfect crust and filling consistency.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 3/4 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/3 cup of white sugar, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Pour in 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter and stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. This ensures your crust has a rich flavor.
  4. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use your fingers or the bottom of a measuring cup to create an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over low heat, melt 6 oz of semisweet chocolate with 1/2 cup of unsalted butter. Stir continuously until smooth and glossy. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat 3 eggs with 1/2 cup of white sugar and 1/4 tsp salt until the mixture is thick and pale, about 3-4 minutes. This aeration is key for a fluffy filling.
  7. Slowly pour the slightly cooled chocolate mixture into the egg mixture, stirring gently until fully combined. Be careful not to overmix; you want to retain some air in the batter.
  8. Pour the chocolate filling into the pre-baked graham cracker crust. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. Avoid overbaking as this can lead to a dry filling.
  9. While the pie is baking, prepare the marshmallow topping. In a clean bowl, beat 4 egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gradually add 1 cup of white sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form and the mixture is glossy.
  10. Once the pie has finished baking, remove it from the oven and spread the marshmallow topping evenly over the chocolate filling. Use a spatula to create decorative peaks.
  11. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the marshmallow topping is golden brown. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
  12. Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This allows the filling to set properly. Serve warm or at room temperature for the best experience.

Nutrition

Keywords: Be careful not to overbeat the egg whites when preparing the marshmallow topping. Stiff peaks are essential, as they help the topping hold its shape while browning. For a beautifully toasted marshmallow topping, consider using a kitchen torch instead of baking in the oven.
