Ingredients

Servings

• 1.5 cup Graham cracker crumbs
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Molasses
• 1.5 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 4 large Egg whites
• 0.25 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, 25 cups of granulated sugar, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and salt. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, molasses, 5 cups of granulated sugar, milk, heavy cream, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Pour the mixture into the cooled pie crust.
4. Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
5. In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add in the remaining 5 cups of granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form.
6. Spread the marshmallow meringue over the cooled pie, making sure to cover the edges. Use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue until golden brown.
7. Refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
