I started with a thick graham cracker crust because nobody wants a little, wimpy crust.

It is the textural and slightly salty contrast in this summer symphony.

Then I layered on an easy, but tipsy, whiskey dark chocolate ganache. So smooth, so silky, so delightfully boozy!

The dark chocolate here is a must because it balances the sweetness of the milk chocolate and marshmallow. Trust peeps. Trust.

Next there is a fluffy, milk chocolate cream cheese mousse. Oh no she didn’t.
Oh. Yes. I. did. It is the milk chocolate for your complete s’mores experience, and the cream cheese adds just a hint of tang. You could also substitute it for a my slightly darker Chocolate Mousse Recipe!

To top it off there is a thick, luscious layer of toasted, homemade marshmallow fluff. Even straight from the fridge it’s like a pillow of marshmallowy goodness. A pillow I tell you.

This no bake Whiskey Smores Pie has something for everyone! Graham cracker crust, whiskey ganache, milk chocolate cream cheese mousse and marshmallow fluff! 

You get all of that in every bite.

Dreams do come true.

Each layer is addictingly delicious alone, but together, oh together, the layers become one s’mores party in your mouth. I invited whiskey to this party because, let’s be honest, real parties have whiskey.

Pastry is about balance of flavors and textures and this pie has it all.

It is also surprisingly easy to make considering all the flavors and layers. By the time you make the next layer, the previous one has set and is ready for assembly. There is no waiting or extra chilling time required.  Easy, breezy, boozy, beautiful. Like Cover Girl but more delicious.

Just a little baking, or in this case “non-baking”, lesson for you:

The whisky ganache is a 50:50 ganache, which means that there is equal amount of chocolate and heavy cream BY WEIGHT. I used this ratio because it is still soft when chilled and will hold its shape at room temperature, which is why I left the recipe by weight in ounces. I used those Ghirardelli baking bars that are 4 ounces each, so I didn’t even need a scale! Hooray! If you are using chocolate chips or bars that aren’t an easy 4oz, just eyeball it if you don’t have a scale. It’ll be okay. I promise. Just make sure you eyeball it BEFORE you eat half the bag. {cough, cough. I’m lookin at you, Lindsey!}

Prep: 1 hour
Cook: 0 minutes
Chill Time: 30 minutes
Total: 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings: 16 people

Ingredients 
 

For the Graham Cracker Crust:

For the Whiskey Ganache:

  • 8 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate I used Ghirardelli
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • pinch kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons quality whiskey

For the Milk Chocolate Mousse:

Marshmallow Fluff:

Makes: 8inch round

Instructions 

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • In a food processor (or you can buy them pre-ground, which is AMAZING!), finely grind the crackers until there are no more discernable pieces of cracker. Pour into a medium bowl. Add the salt and melted butter and mix until all the crumbs are moist and homogenous.
  • Press into your 9-10 inch pie dish (the one pictured is 9 ½ inches) using a tart tamper or the back of a ½ cup measuring cup, which is what I did.
  • Refrigerate while you assemble the ganache.

Make the Whiskey Ganache:

  • In a small saucepan heat the heavy cream just until it boils over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, finely chop your chocolate even if they are chocolate chips. This will make the incorporation process easier and will help ensure a smooth ganache. Place chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl with the pinch of salt.
  • Pour hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes. Don’t be impatient – this is important. Then gently whisk the chocolate mixture starting in the middle. Whisk in the middle until you see the ganache begin to emulsify. You will know this is happening because it will look like a smooth ganache. Then slowly whisk in larger circles until the entire bowl is one silky, emulsified ganache. You don’t want to whisk vigorously because you don’t want to incorporate any air into the mixture, so stop as soon as there is no visible cream left.
  • Add the whiskey and then whisk, from the middle out, to incorporate.
  • If your ganache breaks, add a little bit more cream and gently stir to incorporate.
  • Pour ganache onto chilled crust and spread evenly with a small offset spatula. Chill while you make the mousse.

Make the Milk Chocolate Mousse:

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer add the cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat on high speed using the paddle attachment until it is smooth.
  • While your mixer runs, melt your chocolate. In a microwave safe bowl, add the milk chocolate and salt. Microwave the chocolate in 20 second intervals, stirring between each one, just until almost all the chocolate has melted. Stir to melt the remaining bits of chocolate.
  • Stop the stand mixer and pour all the melted chocolate into the cream cheese mixture. Beat to incorporate the chocolate. Switch to the whisk attachment and whisk on high until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  • Spoon the mousse over the chilled ganache layer and smooth into an even layer with a small offset spatula. Chill while you make the marshmallow fluff.

Make the marshmallow fluff:

  • Place the sugar, eggs whites and pinch of salt in the bowl of your stand mixer. [Make sure that your bowl is well cleaned! Stray fat will keep your meringue from whipping up to its full potential. If it isn’t whipping up then you can add a pinch of cream of tartar to try and stabilize it.]
  • Place the bowl over a pot with about 1 inch of simmering water and whisk constantly until the sugar has dissolved and it is warm to the touch (120°F). Place bowl on the stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium-high until the meringue has cooled and become glossy. Add the vanilla and beat on high to incorporate.
  • Spoon marshmallow fluff over the top of the chilled mousse and smooth with a spoon, spatula or offset spatula. I used an offset to achieve the look in the pictures.
  • Toast meringue using a kitchen torch or the broiler in your oven. To toast the meringue with the broiler the pie needs to be very close, almost touching the flame or heating element. I left the door open and reached inside and moved the pie around to toast it evenly. I also have no fear. If you aren’t comfortable with that, yours might not be as evenly toasted.

Notes

Your pie is now fully assembled and can be enjoyed immediately or you can refrigerate it up to 3 days! How easy was that? No sweat.
You will get cleaner slices if you let it sit an hour in the refrigerator and then you slice with a knife dipped in hot water then wiped clean with a towel.
