Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups graham crackers (approx. 6 oz)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted (substitute with butter or vegan butter if preferred)
Filling
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
- ½ cup coconut cream
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (regular or vegan)
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers with the melted coconut oil until the mixture resembles fine crumbs that hold together when pressed. If the crumbs feel dry, add an extra teaspoon or two of melted coconut oil. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of 6 mini tart pans, ensuring a thick, even base. Place the pans on a baking sheet and set aside.
- Make the chocolate fudge: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the dark chocolate with the coconut cream. Stir constantly to blend the ingredients and prevent burning. The melted chocolate should be thick, smooth, and glossy once fully melted.
- Assemble the pies: Spoon approximately 2 tablespoons of the melted chocolate fudge into each prepared crust. Instead of spreading, gently tap the pans on a hard surface to evenly level the chocolate layer.
- Add marshmallows and bake: Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the chocolate layer in each mini pie. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until marshmallows are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Remove pies from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 30 minutes to let the chocolate layer set into a fudgy consistency. For a gooier texture, serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your easy and delicious mini s’mores pies!
Notes
- Storing: Keep the mini s’mores pies in an airtight container. They will stay fresh for up to 5 days refrigerated or 3 days at room temperature.
- Substitutions: Use vegan butter instead of coconut oil for a different flavor; use vegan marshmallows to keep the recipe dairy-free and vegan.
- Equipment: Mini tart pans or silicone muffin liners can be used to shape the pies.
- Serving Tip: Let the pies cool down fully for a firm texture, or enjoy warm for melty chocolate and marshmallows.
