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)

  1. I got your book for Christmas and made this, unfortunately it did not succeed. I think I put too much salt into the filling.

  2. I don't usually like baked fruit, so this is the Perfect tart/pie for me, I'm so excited to try this recipe

  3. Is there any detriment to it by chilling it before you torch it? I really prefer something like this chilled.

  8. At the end I immediately clicked the myer lemon bundt cake recipe w/ the crunchy crystalized crust link… Mmmm ????! How'd I miss that one? Sorry Pi-Day we are making lemon cake ????

  9. Are there any fellow dessert people here who actually don't like chocolate? I'll still watch anything that Claire makes, but it's a rather rare "defect", so I wonder if anyone here feels the same.

  10. Claire, you need a pie serving spatula! The triangle shaped ones! I have like 4 of them from my grandma and mother-in-law. Want one? ????
