Recommended Posts

this is a recipe from one of my favorite restaurants for comfort food.

 

S'mores Pie

Serves 6

 

From Robert Price, executive chef of Buckeye Roadhouse.

 

The chocolate sauce:

4 ounces bittersweet chocolate

3 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon brandy

1 tablespoon Grand Marnier

2 1/2 tablespoons corn syrup

2 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream

 

The graham cracker crust:

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

3 tablespoons sugar

4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter

2 tablespoons honey

The meringue:

1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract

2 packets of Knox powdered gelatin

2 1/2 tablespoons corn syrup

1 1/4 cups sugar

4 egg whites

-- Pinch of cream of tartar

 

To assemble the pie:

1/4 cup toasted chopped almonds

1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons semisweet chocolate chips

For the chocolate sauce: Pour an inch of water into a large saucepot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn heat down to a simmer. In a medium bowl, combine chocolate, butter, brandy, Grand Marnier and corn syrup and place the bowl over the simmering pot of water. Stir frequently and once ingredients are melted, remove bowl from heat and stir in cream. Set aside.

 

For the graham cracker crust: In a large bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, butter and honey until well combined. Press the mixture evenly into a 10-inch pie tin. Spread about a 1/2 cup of the chocolate sauce over the crust. Set aside.

 

For the meringue: Combine 1/2 tablespoon of cold water with the vanilla extract in a small bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the vanilla mixture and set aside.

 

Combine 1/2 cup of water, corn syrup and sugar in a heavy bottomed pot and bring to a boil. Place a candy thermometer in the sugar mixture and cook until the temperature reaches 240° degrees. This is known as the soft ball stage.

 

While the sugar mixture is cooking, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar in an electric mixer until they form soft peaks.

 

When the sugar reaches 240°, remove from the heat and carefully pour over whipped egg whites while the mixer is on low speed.

 

Add dissolved gelatin mixture and mix on medium high speed until well incorporated. The meringue should be warm and hold soft peaks.

 

To assemble the pie: Preheat oven to 450°.

 

Spread the almonds over the bottom of the pie crust, followed by 1/4 cup of the semisweet chocolate chips. Pour about 1/3 of the meringue over the nuts and chocolate chips. Drizzle remaining chocolate sauce across the meringue, sprinkle remaining chocolate chips. Finish off with remaining meringue, mounding it toward the center with an offset spatula to create a domed effect.

 

With a hot knife, divide pie into 6 equal slices. Place the slices on a sheet pan and toast in the oven, about 5 minutes or until the meringue is golden brown. Serve right away.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
