Ingredients
  

Graham Cracker Crust:

  • 1 ⅓ cup graham crackers crushed (8 crackers)
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 6 Tablespoons salted butter melted
  • 1 Tablespoon heavy cream

Chocolate Ganache:

  • 6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chopped or chips
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 Tablespoons salted butter

Chocolate Pot De Creme:

  • 8 ounces milk chocolate chopped or chips
  • 5 egg yolks
  • cup granulated sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • teaspoon instant espresso powder optional
  • 1 ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • cup milk

Marshmallow Topping:

  • 3 large egg whites
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Make the Crust:

  • Preheat oven to 350ºF. Combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and heavy cream in a medium bowl. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.

Make the Ganache:

  • Place the chocolate in a medium bowl. Combine heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan, stirring over medium heat until mixture is smooth and just begins to simmer. Pour over the chocolate, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to sit for 2-3 minutes. Remove wrap, and stir until smooth. Pour the ganache into the crust. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until set.

Make the Pot De Creme:

  • Place chocolate in a medium bowl. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks, both sugars, espresso powder, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring until smooth.
  • Place saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Once the mixture begins to boil, decrease the heat to low and continue stirring until the mixture is thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon. Pour mixture over the chocolate. Cover bowl with plastic wrap, and allow to sit for about a minute. Remove the plastic wrap, and whisk until smooth. Pour custard* on top of the ganache layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Make the Marshmallow Topping:

  • Add the egg whites** and sugar to a large heatproof bowl and set over a saucepan of barely simmering water. Heat mixture, stirring constantly, until it the temperature hits 160ºF on a candy thermometer, about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove bowl from saucepan, add the cream of tartar, and beat mixture with an electric hand-mixer (or in a stand mixer) on high speed until stiff glossy peaks form, about 6 - 8 minutes. Add the vanilla near the very end. Spread on top of set chocolate filling. Toast the topping with a kitchen torch. Cut into slices and serve. Store leftover pie in the refrigerator.

Notes

*You will have about 3/4 cup leftover that won't fit into the pie. Just pour into one/two ramekins and refrigerate until set.
**Make sure there is absolutely NO egg yolk left in the whites.
