Vegan S’mores Tart Ingredients
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
- 5 sheets Nabisco Grahams or other vegan graham crackers
- 3 tbsp vegan butter melted
- 2 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
For the Chocolate Filling:
- 1/2 cup canned coconut milk full-fat
- 2/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 116g
For the Marshmallow Topping:
- 1/2 cup vegan mini marshmallows such as Dandies
How To Make Vegan S’mores Tart Step by Step
For the Graham Cracker Crust:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the graham crackers in a small food processor and crush them into a fine crumb. Combine the crushed graham crackers, melted vegan butter, and sugar in a bowl. Mix with a rubber spatula.
- Press 1/4 of the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of each tartlet pan. Bake in preheated oven for 8 minutes, then set aside to cool.
For the Chocolate Filling:
- Pour the coconut milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips. Allow to sit for a minute, then stir until chocolate is completely melted and fully combined with the coconut milk.
- Pour 1/4 of the chocolate filling onto each pre-baked graham cracker crust and place in the fridge to set.
For the Marshmallow Topping:
- Once the chocolate filling has set, place 2 tbsp mini marshmallows on top of each tartlet. Use a kitchen blowtorch to lightly toast the top of the marshmallows. Return to the fridge to set the chocolate before serving.
Tips
- Perfect Graham Cracker Crust: When pressing the graham cracker crust into the tartlet pan, use the back of a spoon to make sure it’s firmly packed. This helps create a sturdy base that holds all the delicious layers together.
- Smooth Chocolate Melting: To ensure a silky smooth chocolate filling, let the coconut milk and chocolate chips sit together for a minute after heating. This allows the heat to melt the chocolate slowly, making it easier to stir into a glossy, lump-free mixture.
