Dark Chocolate S'mores Tart
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 cup of mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- Place 8 ounces of chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of heavy cream until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 1 minute. Stir until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Pour the chocolate mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate filling. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows until golden brown. If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can place the tart under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the toasted marshmallows.
- Refrigerate the tart for at least 2 hours to set before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
The Dark Chocolate S'mores Tart is a decadent dessert that combines the rich flavors of dark chocolate with the nostalgic elements of a classic s'mores. This indulgent treat has its roots in American campfire traditions, where the combination of graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate became a beloved fireside treat. The tart version elevates the beloved s'mores by encasing it in a buttery, flaky crust and adding a layer of luscious dark chocolate ganache. Renowned pastry chefs like Dominique Ansel and Christina Tosi have put their own spin on this dessert, adding to its popularity in the culinary world. Today, the best versions of this dessert can be found in upscale bakeries and patisseries, where skilled pastry chefs use high-quality dark chocolate and perfectly toasted marshmallows to create a truly indulgent experience. When making this tart, it's crucial to get the balance of sweetness and bitterness just right in the dark chocolate ganache, as well as achieving the perfect golden brown hue on the marshmallows for that classic s'mores flavor. While the traditional tart is baked in the oven, some adventurous home cooks have also experimented with alternative methods such as using a blowtorch to toast the marshmallows, adding a delightful smoky flavor to the dessert.
