Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, stir the softened chocolate chip ice cream until smooth.
- Spoon the ice cream into the graham cracker pie crust, pressing to compact and molding slightly in the center.
- Wrap the pie in plastic wrap and freeze for at least 3 hours.
- When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and spread marshmallow spread over the top of the ice cream.
- Drizzle with warmed hot fudge sauce and top with mini marshmallows.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using dark chocolate chip ice cream instead of regular chocolate chip. If you don't have marshmallow spread, you can substitute it with homemade meringue or whipped cream mixed with a bit of marshmallow fluff. To save time, use store-bought hot fudge sauce; just warm it gently before drizzling. For added texture, consider incorporating some crushed graham crackers on top.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this S'Mores Pie with a drizzle of extra hot fudge sauce on the side for dipping. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a complete dessert experience, consider serving it alongside a slice of Lo-Fat Triple Layer Chocolate Silk Pie for a delightful contrast in flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. To reheat, simply let the pie sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving, which will soften the ice cream slightly while keeping the rest firm. Avoid refreezing after thawing to maintain texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes, this S'Mores Pie can be made a day or two in advance. Just ensure it is well-wrapped in plastic wrap before freezing. This makes it a great dessert option for parties or gatherings, as you can prepare it early and serve it straight from the freezer.
What can I use instead of a graham cracker crust?
If you don't have a graham cracker crust, you can use a chocolate cookie crust or make a homemade crust using crushed Oreos mixed with melted butter. Both options will provide a deliciously different flavor that still complements the rich chocolate and marshmallow topping.
How do I customize this recipe?
You can customize this S'Mores Pie by adding layers of your favorite candy bars, like Snickers or Reese's, between the ice cream and marshmallow spread. You could also experiment with flavored ice creams, such as mint chocolate chip or cookies and cream, for a unique twist on the classic dessert.
