S'mores Tarts (Starbucks Copycat)
The perfect summertime dessert! All the traditional S'mores flavors packed in a buttery, chewy graham cracker crust, chocolate ganache, and jumbo marshmallows! It's all baked in a muffin pan and is so easy and delicious!
Equipment
- 1 Jumbo muffin pan, (plus a ramekin) **See Notes
- 1 small saucer, (to indent the crust)
Ingredients
Buttery Graham Cracker Crust:
- 13 graham crackers, finely crushed, (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, (melted)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Chocolate Ganache:
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, *see notes
- 7 jumbo marshmallows
Instructions
- Finely crush 13 graham crackers in a bag using a rolling pin. You should have a little over 1 2/3 cups of crumbs.
- In a medium bowl whisk together the graham cracker crumbs, 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp soda, and 1/4 cup each of the sugars. Then add 1 egg and 1/2 cup melted butter. Mix well with your hands to form a thick dough resembling cookie dough.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°F). Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop the dough into each muffin tin. Flatten the sides and bottom with your hands to form a tart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 14 minutes. Tarts will puff up slightly after baking. Remove and flatten the sides and bottoms with a small dipping cup or saucer. This is to indent the crust to make it look like a tart.
- To make the chocolate ganache melt 2 cups of chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler method. Chocolate should be smooth and velvety.
- Evenly divide the warm chocolate ganache into the tarts. Gently tap against the counter for the chocolate ganache to flatten. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set and firm up.
- To serve run a sharp knife around the sides of each tart to remove it from the tins. The tarts should pop out. Top with a jumbo marshmallow and broil on high in the oven until toasted. The marshmallows will expand. Enjoy!
Notes
- This cookie dough is very buttery, so you do not need to grease the muffin pan.
- If you use a standard-sized muffin pan this recipe will yield 11 tarts.
- This amount of chocolate ganache fits exactly into all 7 tarts!
- A double boiler method is when you take a small saucepan and fill it with 2 inches of water. Then place a stainless steel mixing bowl over the saucepan. Place your chocolate in the bowl and melt it over simmering water. This is to help prevent the chocolate from scorching.
- Chocolate ganache variations: I have tested this recipe with 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 4 (1.55 oz) Hershey's bars. I've also made these tarts with all semi-chocolate chips. Feel free to use any concoction depending on your sweet tooth, like part dark chocolate, etc... A mix of half milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips would be fantastic!
- This recipe makes 7 jumbo tarts. I used an additional small ramekin, because the muffin pan only fits 6. But you can make a large cookie with an indent in the middle, too.
