If your idea of camping is pitching a blanket "tent" in the living room, this s'mores pie is your perfect campfire food.

We drew our inspiration from the real deal — graham crackers topped with chocolate and toasted marshmallow — and turned the ingredients into a pie. A graham cracker crust is filled with a rich chocolate filling and topped with a heap of marshmallow.

For the toasted effect, you can either use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the peaks of the marshmallow, or pop the whole thing under the broiler for a few seconds. If you opt for the broiler, you'll want to watch it carefully and rotate the pie as needed for even browning.

S'MORES PIE

Start to finish: 2 hours (20 minutes active)

Servings: 8

For the crust:

2 cups graham cracker crumbs

2 tablespoons honey

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

6 tablespoons butter, melted

For the chocolate filling:

8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped

Two 14-ounce cans sweetened condensed milk

6 egg yolks

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the marshmallow topping:

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup water

3 tablespoons corn syrup

6 egg whites

2 1/4 teaspoon (1/4-ounce packet) powdered gelatin

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a deep 10-inch pie plate with cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, honey, cinnamon and melted butter. Mix with a fork until well combined. Using the back of a spoon or lightly oiled fingers, press the crust mixture into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie plate. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until slightly darker golden around the edges.
