Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 10 graham crackers, crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz chocolate bars, chopped
- 2 cups large marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare Crust: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted unsalted butter, and a pinch of salt until well mixed. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish forming an even layer.
- Bake Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until it turns golden brown. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely to ensure the filling sets properly.
- Make Chocolate Filling: In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the heavy cream until it is steaming but not boiling. Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate bars in a bowl. Let this mixture sit for a few minutes to soften the chocolate, then stir gently until you achieve a smooth, glossy ganache.
- Add Marshmallows: Fold the large marshmallows gently into the warm chocolate filling until they are evenly incorporated.
- Assemble and Freeze: Pour the marshmallow chocolate mixture over the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it into an even layer. Cover the baking dish and freeze for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to set completely.
- Serve: Once frozen solid, slice into squares and serve chilled for a cool, indulgent treat.
Notes
- Ensure the crust is completely cooled before adding the filling to prevent melting.
- Use high-quality chocolate for richer flavor and smoother texture.
- For a variation, try mixing in a sprinkle of sea salt on top before freezing for a salted chocolate twist.
- Store leftovers covered in the freezer for up to 1 week.
- You can substitute marshmallows with mini marshmallows if preferred, adjusting quantity accordingly.
