Heavenly S’mores Pie
We’re focusing on cleansing this week, but let’s be honest, we can’t drag everyone along for the ride. This S’mores pie is a great way to quench the sweet tooth of your kiddos or housemates, and easy enough to make them whip it up themselves.

Adapted from the Taste of Home Kid-Approved Cookbook, Reiman Media 2011
Yield: One (7-inch) pie, about 8 servings
Cook Time: 15 minutes, plus time to freeze
Ingredients:
- 5 graham crackers (enough for 1 cup of crushed crumbs)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted (1/4 cup)
- 6 scoops chocolate ice cream, softened (about 3 cups)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Chocolate syrup for garnish*
* Most chocolate syrups are made from high fructose corn syrup. Read labels and look for an organic brand for best taste and quality.
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 325˚F. Crush graham crackers to fine crumbs in a baggie. Stir together with sugar in a medium bowl and combine with melted butter. Press onto the bottom and sides of a greased 7-inch pie plate or baking dish.
- Bake crust until crisp and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Cool completely.
- Scoop ice cream into baked pie crust and use a rubber spatula to smooth it into an even filling. Cover with marshmallows and freeze for 4 hours to overnight.
- When ready to serve, move an oven rack to 6 inches from the top; preheat up the broiler. Place pie on the rack until marshmallows are lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Drizzle with chocolate syrup and enjoy.
