Mini S'mores Tarts
- 1 1/2 c. graham cracker crumbs (about 10 full sheet graham crackers)
- 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 c. granulated sugar
- 12 oz. semi-sweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 c. unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 c. heavy cream or heavy whipped cream
- 2 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1/2 c. granulated sugar
- 1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the crust: Using a food processor or blender, grind graham crackers into crumbs.
- (Alternatively, you can crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin.)
- In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar with a rubber spatula until combined.
- (The mixture will be thick, coarse, and sandy.)
- Press crumbs evenly into each tartlet pan, making sure the crust is tight and compact.
- Pre-bake crusts for 10 minutes, then let cool.
- Make the filling: Place chocolate and butter in a large bowl and set aside.
- In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, heat heavy cream.
- Whisking constantly, bring to a slow boil.
- Once it begins to boil, immediately remove from heat and pour over chocolate.
- Using a wooden spoon, slowly stir until chocolate and butter are completely melted and ganache is smooth.
- Pour the filling evenly into each crust and place each tartlet pan in the refrigerator.
- Chill at least 2 hours (and up to 1 day) or until completely firm.
- Just before serving, prepare marshmallow topping: Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer.
- Set bowl over a saucepan filled with two inches of simmering water.
- Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and egg whites are warm to the touch, about 4 minutes.
- Transfer the mixing bowl to an electric mixer fitted with a whisk attachment.
- Beat on high speed for 4 to 5 minutes until soft, glossy peaks form.
- Add vanilla and beat on high just until combined.
- Remove tartlets from the refrigerator.
- Spread marshmallow topping on each.
- Toast the topping with a kitchen torch if desired.
- Serve immediately.
