🥧 What Is a Guinness S’more Pie?
This pie takes the classic s’more elements — graham cracker crust, chocolate filling, and toasted marshmallow topping — and adds a touch of Irish flair with dark Guinness beer blended into the silky chocolate ganache. The result? A dessert that’s rich, gooey, slightly boozy, and delightfully nostalgic.
🧾 Guinness S’more Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 1½ cups crushed digestive biscuits or graham crackers
- 6 tbsp melted Kerrygold butter
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
For the Chocolate Guinness Filling:
- 200g dark chocolate, chopped
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup Guinness
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- Pinch of salt
For the Marshmallow Topping:
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
(or prepare a meringue if you prefer a gourmet twist)
👨🍳 Method:
- Make the Crust: Combine crushed biscuits, melted butter, and sugar. Press into a pie dish and bake at 175°C (350°F) for 10 minutes. Let cool.
