Much like sweater vests and zip-off pants, this no-bake S'mores Pie is the perfect summer-to-fall transition piece. Cool and refreshing for a warm day, yet toasty enough (read: torched meringue top) for chilly evenings, this pie bridges the season gap. But whether you make it for an end-of-summer bbq this weekend or keep it in the bank for later this year, we challenge you to not make this twist on a campfire classic. See what bloggers though above. --Joanna Sciarrino
2/7Take a Megabite: "This is one of those desserts where you take one bite and want to shout about it's goodness to everyone near! But only your pup is near! So you tell him even though he can't have chocolate so he can't get thaaaaaaaaat excited. It's one of those tasty treats that you almost eat in the car on your way to give it to someone. It's the kind you bring into work to share, and eat a quarter of it. It's that kind."
3/7Frugal Foodie Family: "This here's a sophisticated take on the classic campfire recipe. A touch of chocolate in the graham cracker crust, hints of coffee in a rich ganache, all topped with toasted meringue...But this feels like the perfect end-of-summer treat before we blaze into fall."
4/7From Away: Cooking and Eating in Maine: "This pie is incredibly easy and incredibly delicious. The chocolate ganache is, as you might expect, rich, dense, and decadent. The meringue is more like a grown-up fluff, if there is such a thing, and the crust is made with Nutella. What could be better than that? Bring this text time you're invited to a picnic, a cookout, or camping in a friend's backyard. S'mores make us nostalgic for simpler times, childhood, summers long past. This dessert will make everyone at your party feel dreamy and content."
5/7Restless Chipotle: "When I saw this No Bake S'mores pie recipe it immediately whisked me back to the late 1960s and the weekend camping trips that were a major part of my life at that time...This pie is so easy but it looks and tastes like a gourmet show-stopped dessert."
6/7Amour Fou(d): "This is the pie to ring to a Labor Day BBQ or to share with friends while enjoying one of the last alfresco evenings; it reminds everyone of the flavors of their childhood but with a grownup spin...The flavor is familiar: marshmallow, chocolate, and graham crackers, but the familiar gets upgraded with the addition of coffee and a touch of sea salt. It begs to be cut into fat wedges and served with glasses of ice cold milk-the perfect finale to summer."
7/7Yum Yum A Pittsburgher's (Mostly Food) Blog: "Rich. Decadent. The kind of dessert that the two of us would not be able to finish on our own...It's easy to make...The filling is delicious, but dense and rich. Lots of coffee and chocolate flavor."
