I love s'mores! Who doesn't, right? But sadly, we don't have access to a roaring campfire all that often. These individual tarts are a great way to bring back the s'more feeling when you can't make it outside (and bonus you can avoid all the smoke and ash of a real camp out).
This sour cream ganache has a tart/sharp flavour to it and is very rich! I think you could serve two people with one individual tart, if desired.
Makes 4, four inch tarts.
Crust
1-1/4 c graham crackers
1/4 c coconut
1/2 c unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Combine all three ingredients in a mixing bowl.
- Remove two tablespoons of crumb mixture and set aside.
- Press into 4 mini tart pans (10cm/4 inches each) - as compactly as possible.
- Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
Ganache
1 cup full fat sour cream at room temperature
210 grams dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
Instructions
- Melt chocolate in double broiler.
- Take off heat and stir in sour cream until smooth.
Instructions - final steps
- Spoon ganache into graham tarts and smooth.
- Place mini marshmallows over ganache to cover tarts.
- Set oven to broil with rack about 4 inches from burner.
- Place all tarts on a rimmed baking pan and place under broiler.
- Carefully watch until marshmallows are golden brown. You may have to remove individual tarts if you find some browning faster than others.
- If desired, drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with left over crumbs.
- Can be left covered at room temperature for up to 6 hours.
Wow!!! These look amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am very intrigued with the chocolate sour cream filling.
I can't wait to try these.
Have a fantastic weekend
These are super cute! Will definitely try it!
ReplyDeleteOMG! Sour cream ganache!!!! Where has it been all my life? I know I will love it!
ReplyDeleteI made s'more bars once. I started by baking a graham cracker crust in the bottom of the pan, then I placed squares of Hershey's chocolate over top and the residual heat basically melted it so I could just smooth it over after. Then I topped with marshmallows & broiled. Super basic. I think your recipe is better. It's much more sophisticated ;)
Sour cream ganache?! Have you made ganache other ways and have a preference to this? I'm totally intrigued by it.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of having s'mores as a grown up treat!
To be honest I usually use this ganache as a cake frosting! I like it because it is tangy and easy to make and it holds up well to piping and the heat.
DeleteWhat a great idea! These tarts are so pretty and so delicious! And that ganache...mmm...
ReplyDeleteThe perfect way to get your s'more fix all year round!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful - love the sour cream ganache to help temper the sweetness!
