Marshmallow, brownie, in a pie, oh my!

I let myself turn the oven on for this one and oh my goodness, was it worth it! This s’more pie is decadent and casual, all at the same time.

Perfect for an end of summer celebration or just a Monday night.

{Week 33} S’mores Brownie Pie

1 graham cracker crust
10 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 and 1/4 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup + 2 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 large eggs, cold
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
25 large marshmallows (1/2 of a standard package or use mini marshmallows)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325F degrees.

Melt the butter, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a
large bowl in the microwave. Melt in 30 second increments and stir after each time until the butter is completely melted. The mixture will look gritty. Set aside for a few minutes as you get the other ingredients ready. You don’t want the mixture to be piping hot.

Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the eggs one at a time, stirring after each addition. The batter will be thick and look shiny. Add the flour, beating with a whisk until fully combined. Try not to overmix the batter at this point. Spoon into crust.
Bake for 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with marshmallows. Return to the oven and continue to bake for an additional 3 minutes to melt the marshmallows. If the marshmallows aren’t toasted, turn on your broiler for 1 minute. Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing. Run a very sharp knife under warm water when slicing; it helps slice neat pieces.
Pie tastes best at room temperature or reheated the day it is made. Any leftover slices should be heated for about 30 seconds in the microwave. Store pie at room temperature for up to 7 days. Do not freeze.
