Homemade S'mores Tart Recipe From Claire Safftiz | Dessert Person S’mores desserts are typically a little maximalist for my taste. But over the past couple of years I’ve been lucky to spend a portion of my time in the Hudson Valley, about ninety minutes outside of New York City, where, thanks to the regular occurrence of indoor and outdoor fires, I rediscovered my childhood love of classic s’mores. It got me brainstorming ways to translate s’mores into a more refined dessert, and since nothing is more refined than a chocolate tart, that became my starting point. The filling is a basic ganache lightened with whipped cream to give it a mousselike texture (a genius technique I learned from Dorie Greenspan, who uses it for the topping of her chocolate Lisbon Chocolate Cake). It’s set inside a thick graham cracker crust and topped with my homemade marshmallow (note that you should wait to prepare the marshmallow topping until after you’ve filled the tart) #smores #pie #tart #clairesaffitz Ingredients: S'mores Tart 9 tablespoons unsalted butter (4.5 oz / 128g), divided 7 ounces (198g) graham crackers (about 13 sheets) 1 large egg yolk (0.5 oz / 15g) 2 tablespoons plus 3⁄4 cup sugar (6.2 oz / 175g) 1⁄2 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt or 1⁄4 teaspoon Morton kosher salt, plus several pinches 6 ounces (170g) semisweet chocolate (64%-70% cacao), finely chopped 1 1⁄4 cups heavy cream (10.6 oz / 300g), chilled, divided 2 1⁄2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin powder 2⁄3 cup granulated sugar (4.7 oz / 133g) 2 tablespoons light corn syrup 3 large egg whites (3.7 oz / 105g) 1⁄8 teaspoon cream of tartar or 1⁄2 teaspoon white distilled vinegar Generous pinch of kosher salt 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting What's for Dessert by Claire Saffitz is out now: https://geni.us/WjcIbfp Dessert Person Online: https://www.dessertperson.com/ Claire on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/csaffitz/?h...
