Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 6 tablespoons (3 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Crush graham crackers into fine, uniform crumbs, ensuring a consistent texture for the pie base.
- Blend graham cracker crumbs with granulated sugar and melted butter, stirring until the mixture resembles damp sand with a cohesive consistency.
- Transfer the crumb mixture into a 9-inch pie dish, methodically pressing and compacting the ingredients to form a uniform crust along the bottom and sides.
- Transfer the prepared crust to a preheated oven at 350°F, baking until the edges turn slightly golden and the base feels firm to the touch.
- Carefully remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool completely, creating a sturdy foundation for the pie’s subsequent layers.
- While the crust cools, chop fresh strawberries into precise, bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size for even distribution.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring gently to achieve a smooth, glossy texture without burning.
- Layer sliced strawberries across the cooled graham cracker crust, creating an even, attractive foundation.
- Drizzle melted chocolate over the strawberry layer, allowing it to cascade and create delicate patterns.
- Strategically place marshmallows across the chocolate and strawberry surface, covering the pie with a fluffy white layer.
- Return the pie to the oven, broiling briefly until marshmallows transform into a golden, caramelized topping with slight char marks.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool to room temperature, allowing layers to set and flavors to meld together.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving to enhance the pie’s structural integrity and flavor profile.
Notes
- Crumb crust works best when pressed firmly and evenly to create a solid foundation that won’t crumble when serving.
- Chill the crust for 15-20 minutes before adding fillings to help it set and maintain structural integrity.
- Experiment with alternative cookie bases like chocolate wafers or gluten-free graham crackers for diverse dietary needs.
- Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor profile or milk chocolate for a sweeter, more kid-friendly dessert.
