S'mores Pie

I think s'mores are the quintessential summer dessert. Since Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, I wanted to make a s'mores dessert for the weekend. I decided on this S'mores Pie - graham cracker crust, chocolate filling and marshmallow meringue. I made the chocolate filling the night before we ate the pie and let it chill overnight. I made the crust and marshmallow meringue the next morning. It only took a few minutes each day. It was absolutely delicious. This will be the perfect ending to your Memorial Day celebration!
