NO-CAMPFIRE-NECESSARY

S’MORES SLAB PIE

WITH A GRAHAM CRACKER CRUST

Serves 15 to 18

I expect some of you may slap your forehead when you read this
recipe and say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Indeed, it’s so easy and
straightforward, it’s almost sinful. There is nothing to beat the smell
of wood smoke and the fear your perfectly bronzed and oozy

marshmallow will slip from the stick, but this S’Mores Slab stands in
when the campfire is miles away. This pie must be baked on top of a
hot surface (see Ovens, Steels, and Stones, here) to achieve a firm
base.

Make Ahead: The crust may be baked and the chocolate layer
spread over the crust a day or two in advance. Keep refrigerated
until ready to add the marshmallows.

9 graham crackers (143 g), crushed to a powder (about 1¼ cups)

6 tablespoons (85 g) unsalted butter, melted

⅓ cup (67 g) granulated sugar

1 teaspoon kosher salt
