Ingredients




Pie crust:
8 oz greek yogurt cream cheese, diced
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, small dice
3 cups flour
½ cup pure cane sugar
a pinch of salt
approx 3 Tbsp cold water
For the layers:
½ cup heavy cream
1¼ cup chocolate chips
about 4 graham crackers
several handfuls of mini marshmallows

Preparation

1 ***NOTE: My homemade pie crust recipe makes a big batch, I used approx ⅓ of the dough for this pie. The dough can be portioned out and refrigerated or freezed*** 2 Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 3 If you are making the pie crust from scratch... Add the flour, sugar and salt to a food processor with the dough blade. Pulse a few times to mix. 4 Add in the cream cheese and butter. Pulse until the butter and cream cheese are just incorporated. 5 Add in the cold water and again just pulse a few times until the dough starts to come together. You don't want to over mix otherwise the crust will be tough rather then tender and flaky. 6 Pour the dough out onto a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough just a little bit. Cut the dough. 7 Break off a baseball sized ball of the dough and roll out into a circle using a rolling pin to about 10 inches in diameter. 8 Place the dough in the bottom of a 10 inch round,tart pan with the drop out bottom. Work the crust up the sides of the dish and allow to fall over the sides a bit {you can press the crust down on the top of the tart pan and peel off the excess crust}. 9 Using a fork. poke the bottom of the crust all over, this prevents the dough from bubbling up while baking. 10 Bake for about 22 minutes, until golden. 11 In a small pot, slightly warm the cream. Add the chocolate chips to a bowl and pour the warm cream over top. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for about 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. 12 Pour the chocolate ganache into the pie crust. Using a spoon spread out the chocolate until evenly smoothed out. 13 Add a layer of graham crackers {broken up to fit} over top the ganache. 14 Add on several handfuls of mini marshmallow to cover the entire top well. Place in the oven, under the broiler {NOT TOO CLOSE, it will burn!} for just 30-45 seconds until toasted.
