Best 3-Layer S’mores Cookie Dough Pie Recipe (Cookie Crust)

Waking up to the memory of campfire nights is wonderful, but making this S’mores Cookie Dough Pie is infinitely better (and less sticky) than the real thing. Max calls this the "camping cake" because it packs all the gooey, chocolatey fun of a s'more into a sliceable, deep-dish masterpiece. We love how the thick, chewy cookie crust pairs with the fluffy marshmallow mousse, creating a dessert that looks like it came from a fancy bakery but is actually quite simple to assemble at home.

This dessert offers a perfect balance of dense, buttery cookie and airy, sweet filling; providing a satisfying texture contrast that is both visually stunning with its distinct layers and incredibly nostalgic. It is an effortless way to enjoy Smores Pies without a fire pit, working as a showstopper for Unique Pie Ideas or a standout at any summer BBQ or winter cozy night.

The S’mores Cookie Dough Pie is a decadent, layered dessert featuring a baked deep-dish chocolate chip cookie crust, a no-bake marshmallow cheesecake filling, and a rich chocolate ganache topping. This specific version uses a fluted tart pan to get those beautiful edges seen in the photo and is finished with toasted marshmallows and chocolate triangles for a professional look. Originally inspired by 'S mores pie America's Test Kitchen concepts, this recipe has been refined in our kitchen to ensure clean slices and a stable filling.

S’mores Cookie Dough Pie Ingredients

The Cookie Dough Crust

½ cup Unsalted butter (softened)
½ cup Brown sugar (packed)
¼ cup Granulated sugar
1 large Egg
1 ¼ cups All-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Baking soda
½ cup Mini chocolate chips

The Marshmallow Mousse Filling

8 oz Cream cheese (softened)
1 jar (7 oz) Marshmallow fluff (creme)
1 cup Heavy whipping cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

The Topping

½ cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
¼ cup Heavy cream (hot, for ganache)
1 cup Mini marshmallows (for toasting)
Chocolate triangles (like Toblerone, for garnish)

Step by Step Method

Bake the crust

Beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, then beat in the egg and vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and chocolate chips to form a dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a greased 9-inch tart pan or pie dish.
Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely before filling—this is crucial to prevent the mousse from melting!

Whip the filling

Beat the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff together until completely smooth and lump-free.
Fold in the whipped cream gently to keep the mixture airy and light.
Spread the filling over the cooled cookie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Make the ganache

Pour hot heavy cream over the chocolate chips in a small bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until glossy and smooth.
Spread the ganache over the marshmallow layer, creating a smooth, dark chocolate top.

Decorate and set

Arrange marshmallows and chocolate triangles around the edge of the pie.
Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows until they are golden brown.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the layers to set firm enough to slice cleanly.

MAX’S REACTION

"Mom, look at the layers! The bottom is a giant cookie and the top is like a fancy candy bar. Can I have the piece with the burnt marshmallow?"

I usually serve this rich pie with a simple glass of cold milk to wash down the chocolate. If you are building a dessert table, it pairs beautifully with the lighter texture of Chocolate Protein Donuts or a fruity option like our Blueberry French Toast Casserole (served as a dessert bake). For a chocolate lover's dream, place it next to an Oreo Fudge Brownie Pizza.

3 Ingredient 'S Mores Pie (The Hack)

Use a store-bought graham cracker crust, fill it with chocolate pudding, and top with mini marshmallows. Broil briefly to toast.

Mini S Mores Cookie Pie Recipe

Press the cookie dough into a muffin tin to create deep cups. Bake, cool, and fill with a dollop of fluff and a piece of chocolate for bite-sized treats.

'S Mores Pie Cook's Country Style

Use a graham cracker crust instead of cookie dough and fill with a baked chocolate ganache custard, topping with meringue instead of marshmallows.

Deep Dish Smores Cookies

Skip the mousse layer entirely. Bake the cookie dough in a pie dish, top with chocolate bars and marshmallows in the last 5 minutes of baking for a warm, gooey "pizookie" style dessert.

Equipment

9-inch Tart Pan (with removable bottom) or Pie Dish
Electric Mixer
Kitchen Torch (optional, for toasting marshmallows)

Mom Tip: If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can toast the marshmallows on a baking sheet under the broiler for 30 seconds before placing them on the pie. Do not put the whole pie with the cream filling under the broiler, or it will melt into a soup!

Storage / Make Ahead / Serving Tips

Storage Tips That Keep It Fresh

Store the pie in the refrigerator, loosely covered, for up to 4 days.
The crust stays chewy while the filling remains firm and cool.

Make Ahead Strategy

This is one of the best Cold Pies Desserts because it needs time to set. Make it the day before your event for the cleanest slices.

Serving Instructions

Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut through the cold chocolate ganache without cracking it. Wipe the knife between cuts to keep the white layer pristine.

The absolute secret to that professional look is the removable-bottom tart pan. It gives you those lovely fluted edges that make the pie look like it came from a pâtisserie. Also, ensure your cookie crust is 100% cool before adding the filling. If it's even slightly warm, the marshmallow cream will slide right off.

Can I freeze this pie?

Yes! This pie freezes beautifully. Wrap it tightly and freeze for up to a month. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

Do I need to bake the filling?

No, the marshmallow mousse is a no-bake filling, which keeps it light and contrasts with the dense baked cookie crust.

What if I don't like marshmallow fluff?

You can substitute the fluff for a standard vanilla pudding or simply use sweetened whipped cream for a lighter "cream pie" feel.

Serving up this layered beauty is my favorite way to bring the "wow" factor to the table without turning on the oven for hours. If you enjoyed this indulgent win, you should try our Oreo Fudge Brownie Pizza for another creative slice. For a morning treat that feels just as special, nothing beats our Blueberry French Toast Casserole.
