Summer In a Dessert

S’mores are an absolute staple in summer. There are countless times I am craving them and don’t have a fire to roast marshmallows. In my opinion these bites are the next best thing.

The best part is that they are no-bake and super easy to make. This recipe only requires 5 ingredients and comes together within 10 minutes. The longest time is just waiting for them to harden.

I love prepping these early in the week and storing them in the freezer to have on hand when I’m craving something sweet. Every time I make these for my family, they don’t last longer than a day. Trust me they are so delicious.

The chocolate layer is so fudgy because of the coconut cream. It almost tastes like a ganache and just takes these bites to the next level.

I prefer making these mini, so I use mini cupcake liners. Obviously, you can make them normal sized. Another option would be to add these to a loaf pan and make them like bars.

Graham crackers: any graham crackers will work. Keep in mind most graham crackers are not vegan, however, I have found vegan ones at Whole Foods. You could also substitute the graham crackers for any cookie or cracker of choice!

Vegan butter: any vegan butter will work. If you aren’t vegan, you can also use traditional butter.

Marshmallows: most marshmallows aren’t vegan because they contain gelatin. I have found vegan ones at Whole Foods and Trader Joes. Obviously, if you aren’t vegan traditional marshmallows also work.

Chocolate: any chocolate will work.

Coconut cream: this is the thick part at the top of a can of coconut milk. If you don’t have this, you could also use coconut oil. If you use oil reduce the amount to about 2 tablespoons.

Ingredients:

• Graham crackers

• Vegan butter

• Marshmallows

• Chocolate

• Coconut cream

Recipe:

• 1 cup crushed graham crackers

• 5-6 tablespoons melted butter (or enough until a crust can be formed)

• 1 cup chocolate

• ¼ cup coconut cream

• About 12 marshmallows

Directions:

1.    Line a cupcake tray with liners or spray with cooking spray.

2.    Add your graham crackers and melted butter to a blender.

3.    Blend until a crust is formed.

4.    Add 1-2 tablespoons of crust to each liner and set aside.

5.    In a pot, melt the chocolate and coconut cream together.

6.    Once completely melted add on top of crust.

7.    Add the marshmallow on top.

8.    Allow to harden in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes.

Be sure to store these in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. I prefer storing them in the freezer they taste like frozen smores bars.

If you do store them in the freezer, allow them to thaw for about 5-10 minutes before eating. You could also warm them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds.
