S'more Tart
- 1 pound graham cracker crumbs
- 3 1/2 ounces sugar
- 3 1/2 ounces butter, melted
- 2 egg whites
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 14 ounces good-quality bittersweet chocolate, broken into small pieces
- 1 egg
- 8 ounces water
- 11 1/2 ounces light corn syrup
- 14 ounces sugar
- 1/2 ounce powdered gelatin
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 4-inch tart molds (preferably with removable bottoms)
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Combine the graham cracker crumbs and the sugar.
- Slowly pour in the melted butter, then the egg whites, mixing to incorporate.
- Place approximately 3 ounces of the crust in each of 8 4-inch tart molds and press down with your fingertips until crust covers bottom and sides of molds.
- Bake for approximately 12 minutes just to set the shells.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Bring the milk and cream to a boil in a heavy-sided saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add the chocolate and stir until smooth.
- Let cool until room temperature and whisk in the egg.
- Pour enough chocolate cream in each shell to reach just under the top of the edge.
- Place back in the oven and bake approximately 10 minutes or until chocolate is just set.
- Remove from the oven and let cool.
- Combine half of the water, half of the corn syrup, and all of the sugar in a heavy-sided saucepan and heat over medium-high heat until it reaches 240F (measure with a candy thermometer).
- Combine the rest of the water and the powdered gelatin and place in a double boiler over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring until the gelatin is completely dissolved.
- Combine the rest of the corn syrup and the vanilla extract in the bowl of a standing mixer with the whisk attachment.
- Turn to low speed and add the hot corn syrup mixture slowly until well combined.
- Turn the mixture up to medium high and whip for approximately one minute.
- Add the gelatin mixture and whip approximately 10 minutes or until the mixture becomes thick and foamy.
- Place approximately 3 tablespoons of the marshmallow mixture on top of tarts, leaving a half-inch border around the edge.
- Place back in the oven for 12 minutes or until the marshmallow is slightly hard to the touch.
- Be careful not to overcook, as the marshmallow will begin to break down and deteriorate.
- Remove and let cool.
- Serve on individual serving plates.
