Smores Pumpkin Pie Food

PUMPKIN PIE S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to high and line a baking sheet with parchment. Put 8 ginger nuts on the tray and top with a marshmallow. Grill until the marshmallow is turning brown and melty.
• Mix the pumpkin puree with the cinnamon and put a tsp on each of the remaining ginger nuts.
• Sandwich both together until oozing.

S'MORES PUDDING PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Break up the graham crackers by hand and add to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Process the crackers until ground. Add the butter and sugar and pulse until the mixture looks like wet sand.
• Transfer the graham crackers to a 9-inch pie plate and, using your hands, press to form a crust. You just want the crust to be of even thickness around the pie plate. Bake until crisp and the crust begins to brown, about 15 minutes. Cool completely before filling.
• For the pudding: Add the milk, cream and sugar to a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan and whisk in the cornstarch, followed by the cocoa powder and salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking until the pudding thickens, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the bittersweet chocolate and vanilla.
• Pour into the cooled pie shell and chill, covering pudding surface with plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent a skin from forming. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set.
• Just before serving, preheat your broiler. Top the pudding pie with the large marshmallows, covering the entire pie surface. Transfer the pie to a baking sheet. Broil the marshmallows 4 inches under the broiler until the tops are golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Keep a close eye on this, it goes fast! Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to brown the marshmallow topping. Serve immediately.

PUMPKIN SPICE S'MORES

Steps:

• Broil marshmallows (2 per s'more) on a baking sheet, turning once, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes; sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice. Sandwich between graham cracker squares with white chocolate and pumpkin butter.

S'MORES PIE

Steps:

• For the crust: Whisk together the flours, granulated sugar, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a very large bowl until well combined. Using a pastry cutter or your hands, work the butter and shortening into the dry ingredients until it has a coarse sand-like consistency. Combine the water and vinegar in a small bowl, then add that to the mixture and mix until a dough forms.
• Divide the dough into two discs, wrap each in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.
• For the filling: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a quarter-sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll out one disc on a lightly-floured work surface. Lay the dough on the sheet tray, evenly covering the bottom. (Do not cut off the excess dough yet.) Lay the chocolate bars over the top of the dough. Sprinkle mini marshmallows over the chocolate. Roll out the second dough disc and lay that on top of the marshmallows, covering the pie entirely. Cut off excess dough from the top piece and fold the edge of the bottom dough over the edge of the top dough. Press the edges together with a fork or crimp the edges. Brush with the egg wash and poke several holes in the top with a fork. Bake until golden, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• For the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk and salt in a bowl until it has the consistency of thick glue. Glaze the top of the pie and immediately add sprinkles. Allow the glaze to set, about 15 minutes. Slice and serve.
