Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 cup dark chocolate
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup mini vegan marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare the graham cracker crust by melting coconut oil and mixing thoroughly with graham cracker crumbs in a medium bowl until the mixture becomes compact and slightly moistened.
- Line a 8x8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring some overhang for easy removal. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom of the pan, creating an even base layer.
- For the dark chocolate mousse, chop the dark chocolate into small, uniform pieces to ensure smooth melting. Place chocolate in a heat-safe bowl.
- Gently heat coconut cream in a saucepan over low heat until it's warm but not boiling. Pour the warm coconut cream over the chopped chocolate and let sit for 2-3 minutes.
- Whisk the chocolate and coconut cream together until smooth and glossy. Add maple syrup and continue whisking until fully incorporated and the mixture is silky.
- Pour the dark chocolate mousse over the graham cracker crust, spreading evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan gently to remove any air bubbles.
- Sprinkle mini vegan marshmallows across the top of the chocolate mousse, creating a decorative and delicious topping.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours or until the mousse is set and firm. The chilling time helps develop a rich, smooth texture.
- Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the dessert from the pan and slice into 4 equal squares. Serve chilled and enjoy your vegan s'mores treat.
Tips
- • Use high-quality dark chocolate for the most luxurious mousse texture • Ensure coconut cream is at room temperature for smoother mixing • For extra crispness in the crust, refrigerate the graham cracker base for 10 minutes before adding the mousse • If you want a more intense chocolate flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to the mousse • Make sure to use vegan marshmallows for authentic s'mores experience • For a perfect set, refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours before serving • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days • For a fun variation, try toasting the marshmallows with a kitchen torch before serving
