Ingredients

12 graham crackers (each 3 by 5 inches), broken into pieces 

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for baking sheets 

1/4 cup sugar 

Coarse salt 

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate (70 percent cacao), chopped (1 1/2 cups) 

1 cup heavy cream 

3 cups mini marshmallows (3 1/2 ounces), plus 1/2 cup for serving (optional) 

Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Finely grind crackers in a food processor (you should have about 1 1/2 cups). Add butter, sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt; pulse until combined. Firmly press crumb mixture into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake until crust is fragrant and slightly darker, 12 to 14 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely.

Place chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl. Bring cream just to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high. Pour over chocolate; add a pinch of salt. Let stand 10 minutes, then stir until smooth and shiny.

Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with butter; arrange marshmallows in a single layer. Broil until well-toasted and puffed, about 1 minute. With a rubber spatula, gently fold marshmallows into chocolate mixture until just incorporated but still streaky. Scrape mixture into piecrust. Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. Before serving, sprinkle with flaky salt.

Optional garnish: Before serving, broil a mound of marshmallows (about a 4-inch circle) on a buttered rimmed baking sheet until well-toasted and puffed, about 1 minute. Using a buttered metal spatula, transfer marshmallows to pie, toasted-sides up.
