Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Graham cracker crumbs
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 8 ounces Dark chocolate (70% cocoa), finely chopped
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 4 whole Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 4 whole Large egg whites
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar (for meringue)
• 1 cup Marshmallow fluff
• 0.25 teaspoons Cream of tartar

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar, and the melted butter. Press the mixture evenly into a 9-inch pie dish, covering the bottom and sides. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before filling.

Step 2

Make the chocolate filling: Melt the chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until warm but not boiling. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 whole eggs and 0.5 cup granulated sugar until smooth. Slowly pour the warm cream into the egg mixture, whisking constantly to temper it. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the cream mixture from heat and whisk in the melted chocolate. Let the mixture cool completely. Once cooled, beat in the softened butter and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Pour the filling into the chilled crust, smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.

Step 5

Prepare the marshmallow meringue: In a clean, dry mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add 0.5 cup granulated sugar, one tablespoon at a time, and continue beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff until just combined.

Step 6

Assemble the pie: Preheat the broiler. Spread the marshmallow meringue over the cooled chocolate filling, creating peaks and swirls with a spatula. Place the pie under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the meringue is lightly browned. Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue.

Step 7

Allow the pie to cool for 10 minutes, then serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Slice and enjoy!
