Hot summer days call for cool desserts. Our Test Kitchen developed this pie, which was inspired by s'mores, the quintessential summertime treat. This rich and creamy recipe brings together all of the key components of the ooey, gooey handheld treat–graham cracker crumbs, chocolate chunks, marshmallow crème–but we put it together in a no-bake pie so it can be enjoyed at potlucks or backyard barbecues all summer long. The Test Kitchen advises not to rush the chill time, so be sure to make this recipe the morning of or the day before you're planning to serve and enjoy. Garnish with chocolate shavings.

Ingredients

Crust

1 ½ cups cinnamon graham cracker crumbs (from 2 cracker sleeves)
½ cup (4 oz.) salted butter, melted
2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Filling

3 large egg yolks
1 ¾ cups whole milk
⅓ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 tablespoons salted butter, cut into 1-Tbsp. pieces
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (3 ½-oz.) dark chocolate bar (such as Ghirardelli), chopped
1 (1-oz.) unsweetened (100% cacao) baking chocolate square, chopped

Topping

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 (7-oz.) jar marshmallow creme
Chocolate shavings (optional)

Directions

Prepare the Crust: Stir together graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl until well combined. Press mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Freeze until Crust is set, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the Filling: Whisk together egg yolks, milk, sugar, and cornstarch in a medium saucepan until completely combined. Cook over medium, whisking constantly, until mixture is thickened and bubbly and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low; whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until incorporated. Stir in vanilla. Gradually add chopped chocolate, whisking just until melted. Remove from heat.
Spoon Filling into chilled Crust. Place a piece of plastic wrap directly on surface of Filling. Refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 3 hours.
Prepare the Topping: Beat whipping cream and marshmallow creme with a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment on medium-low speed until combined, about 1 minute. Increase mixer speed to medium-high, and continue beating until mixture is smooth and medium peaks form, about 3 minutes. Spoon Topping over set Filling. If desired, garnish with chocolate shavings.
