S'more Pie Please!

Nothing is more exciting than the knowledge that summer is coming; bring on the beach, camping, BBQ's and road trips! I got this recipe from the wife of a fellow Mason member. I like this even better than the old-fashioned burnt marshmallow, solid chocolate S'more.

Smore's Pie

Ingredients:
 
6oz dark chocolate (or milk if you prefer, I used 6 oz of milk chocolate chips)
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup whipping cream
2 Tablespoon corn syrup
2-2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4oz mascarpone cheese (you can use cream cheese)-make sure room temp 1 cup whipping cream
1/2-3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup mini marshmallows
Mini chocolate chips (I just used some of the chocolate chips I already had)
graham crackers (crushed)-about 1/2 cup
1 graham cracker pie crust (can make from scratch or pre-made)
 1 jar of marshmallow creme
1 Tablespoon milk
1 cup mini marshmallows

For filling: in small saucepan, mix the 6oz chocolate, water, 1/4 cup whipping cream and corn syrup.  Heat and stir constantly over medium heat.  Once mixture is smooth and melted remove from heat.  Then stir in vanilla.  Let that cool for about 20 minutes; stir occasionally while making whip cream.

For whip cream: In a chilled metal mixing bowl, beat 1 cup whipping cream and powdered sugar on medium until peaks form (this takes about  minutes).  It should look like whip cream out of a can.  While making whip cream, in another bowl add the mascarpone (or cream cheese if you prefer) to the melted chocolate mixture.  Mix that thoroughly and set aside.  Once whip cream is ready, fold the chocolate mixture into the whip cream until thoroughly mixed. 

Crust: layer bottom of crust w/mini marshmallows.  Spoon the filling over the top.  Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours (or overnight).

Marshmallow creme topping: mix jar of marshmallow creme w/1-2 tablespoon of milk and 1 cup of mini marshmallows. Save in refrigerator until you serve pie. (2 TB of milk made it super watery/goopey/etc. I would suggest only 1 TB of milk and if you're using a premade pie crust you are going to have a mess on your hands. This pie makes a little of "filling")

Serve: before serving spread marshmallow creme spread you make on top of pie.  Then crush graham crackers and sprinkle on top of pie, then add mini chocolate chips on top of that.
