S’more Pie

S'more_Pie_FO_13

As a kid I usually spent summer in one or more camps. Sleep away camp, soccer camp, or church camp, if it was full of awkward adolescents baking in the sun, I was there. My favorite part of these summer escapes was sitting around the bonfire, more specifically the s’mores. I have many fond memories of roasting marshmallows as someone played Kumbaya on an acoustic guitar. This pie is an ode to those summer nights. It is so easy to make and the toasted marshmallow topping will transport you to the summers of your youth. The best part is it takes a casual concept, the s’more, and makes it fancy enough for a dinner party. I hope you enjoy!
