Am I on? Are we on!?!? Good!!
If you stopped by yesterday you probably noticed that accessing my site was impossible. Boooo! My hosting company was dealing with some issues… and my poor fish tacos didn’t get all the recipe love that they deserve!
Hopefully the issue is now fixed and we can move on…
S’mores Tart. Or Pie? Or Cake? I dunno what to call it. But, let’s be honest… Who cares what it’s called when the word “s’mores” is in the title! For reals.
This decadent dessert happened because I needed to use up the leftover frosting from another decadent dessert – my French Macarons with Marshmallow Frosting. Love those little nibbles!
Thus, I was faced with a tub of marshmallow frosting that needed to be used asap. I also had 3 XL Hershey Chocolate Bars and a family-pack of Honey Graham Crackers… what would you have made!?
I hope your answer is S’mores Tart! What else is there?! 😉
I honestly do not know how I didn’t eat it all. The only thing that stopped me from doing it was the nice weather outside. I can’t hide the jiggle under a coat no mo’! Damn!!
I made my husband eat most of it. He won’t gain a pound. Again, damn!
If you love a traditional s’mores, then you will be obsessed with this tart. OBSESSED! Truly. It is so, so good, and you don’t even have to make the frosting if you don’t want to. Just top it with marshmallows and put it in the broiler for 3 minutes.
The only thing that irks me about this recipe is the waiting time. You have to let it set, and that can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the humidity. Good luck trying not to cut into it before it’s time.
ENJOY!
P.S. Just a reminder – You still have time to enter my KitchenAid Stand Mixer Giveaway!
S’mores Tart
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons butter , melted
- 2 XL Hershey Chocolate Bars
- You can spread large or miniature marshmallows on top of the melted chocolate and put it in the broiler for 3 minutes , or until marshmallows start to melt, or you can make this Marshmallow Frosting
- 1 egg white
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Turbinado Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Line only the bottom of an 8-inch springform pan with aluminum foil; coat with non-stick spray and set aside. It's okay if aluminum foil hangs off the sides.
- Combine crumbs, sugar, and salt.
- Add melted butter and stir together.
- Press the crumb mixture evenly on bottom and up the sides of the prepared springform pan.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until browned and crisp.
- Add chocolate on top; breaking it up as needed to fit.
- Put back in the oven for 2 minutes.
- Spread the chocolate with an offset spatula until the entire crust is covered with chocolate.
- Let cool for 20 minutes.
- In a small mixing bowl beat egg whites and salt.
- Gradually add sugar, and continue to beat until soft peaks form.
- Microwave corn syrup on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until boiling.
- Slowly pour a stream of the corn syrup over the egg whites, beating until mixture is stiff and glossy.
- Add vanilla and beat until thoroughly combined.
- Let cool.
- Set the broiler on HIGH.
- Slowly add and spread the marshmallow frosting on top of the chocolate. You may not need to use all of the frosting, especially if the chocolate was still warm when you tried to add the frosting.
- Spread the frosting evenly across the top, sprinkle with turbinado sugar, and place the tart under broiler.
- Broil for 3 minutes, or until top is browned and crispy.
- Remove from oven.
- Allow to set; about 3 to 4 hours.
- Remove the ring of the springform pan, cut and serve.

Beautiful S’mores Tart, Kate! I can wait 4 hours for THAT! Hard to do, but when it’s that good. Yeah. xo
Your tart looks and sounds so delicious! I
For someone who doesn’t particularly like marshmallows, I am quite the smores lover so I would have had no problem eating this whole tart myself! yum!
As long as it is s’mores pie or tart doesn’t really matter. All it matters is where’s my piece!
Thanks for sharing Kate and thank you for the lovely comment left on my guest post on Sommer’s blog
Not being able to hide one’s wobbly bits under sweater, and coats is the only downfall to warm weather…but that’s a huge downfall.
Oh, well. I’d rather be happy and feast on this tart smashing s’mores tart right now, than worry about my thighs. Tomorrow is another day, right? Scarlett O’Hara was a wise woman. 😉
Ooooh I love me some Scarlett!! Very wise, indeed 🙂
Looks creamy and indulgent, so delicious!
Be still my heart! I don’t care what you call this, I want a bite :).
Oh man! You always tempt with the most delicious treats, Kate! PS: I just got my site back up after the whole morning of problems on my host’s side.. Ugh..
i loved your fish tacos 🙂 Marshmallow frosting is so amazing it can’t ever be wasted. Love how you used it up.
Irk. What a great word. The jiggle under the coat irks me. Of course, it irks me now that the jiggle shows and that Hubby can also eat a whole one of these without a hint of jiggle. Sheesh.
This looks absolutely decadent. Totally sweet tooth heaven. Seriously.
Kate, my dear Kate! You are so lucky that I cannot trespass my PC monitor… 🙂 I loooooooove S’mores and your tart is driving me insane. I think I’ll have to contact Fedex every time that I come here.
Oh, Denise, you’re so kind!! THANK YOU! 🙂
Kate,
This looks just amazing, and I always have graham crackers and chocolate bars and marshmallows on hand, so I’ll make that version.
Thanks for include an alternate to your leftover frosting!
Oh my doesn’t this look amazing??!
Hello gorgeous! This tart is right up my alley.
Oh yeah… this is a good looking tart!! I could eat that whole pan. 🙂
Smores in any form is a win! Perfect tart!
