Chocolate Ganache Smores Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a mixing bowl. Mix until evenly moistened, then press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly browned and smells toasted, about 5 minutes.
• Place the chocolate into a medium bowl. Heat the cream in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Bring just to a boil. When the cream has come to a boil, remove from the heat immediately and pour over the chocolate chips; whisk until smooth. Stir in the optional rum. Pour evenly over the graham cracker layer.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Place an even layer of marshmallows on top of the chocolate. Broil until the marshmallows are lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Refrigerate until chocolate has hardened, about 45 minutes. Cut into bars using a pizza cutter sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Steps:

• Cook the chocolate chips, heavy cream, and instant coffee in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until smooth and warm, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Put the chocolate in a large mixing bowl. Pour the cream into a saucepan with the sugar and bring to a simmer, stirring continuously until the sugar is melted. Bring to the boil, then quickly remove from the heat, pour over the chocolate and whisk until smooth and glossy. Use straight away or leave to cool down a little until thick enough to spread on a cake. Alternatively, leave to cool completely, then beat with an electric whisk until light and fluffy and spread on a cake.

Steps:

• To make orange-flavored marshmallows:.
• Butter the bottom and sides of an 8 by 8-inch straight-sided baking pan. Dust liberally with sifted powdered sugar.
• Pour 1/2 cup water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Sprinkle the gelatin over the water and allow to soften, about 10 minutes.
• In a 3-quart saucepan, combine the sugar, evaporated milk and 1/4 cup water. Stir over low heat until the sugar has dissolved. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer registers 240 degrees F, about 10 to 12 minutes. Pour the syrup over the gelatin mixture. Beat the mixture at low speed until incorporated. Increase the speed to high and beat until thick, fluffy and tripled in volume, about 10 to 12 minutes. Beat in the orange zest and vanilla extract until just combined. Using a spatula, scrape the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the surface. Sprinkle with orange decorating sugar. Allow the mixture to set, uncovered, in a cool place (not refrigerated) for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• To make orange ganache:.
• Place finely chopped chocolate in small heatproof bowl.
• Set over warm water on low heat (water should not touch bottom of bowl).
• Stir very frequently until almost melted. Remove from heat and hot water; stir until smooth, pressing out any lumps with back of spoon or a rubber spatula.
• In small saucepan over low heat, heat cream just to a simmer, stirring frequently.
• Remove from heat; all at once, add about two-thirds of hot cream to melted white chocolate.
• Gently stir to incorporate, then beat or whisk until smooth, scraping bowl as necessary with rubber spatula.
• Gradually stir in remaining cream.
• To assemble:.
• Cut marshmallows into squares matching same dimensions as the graham crackers.
• place a cut marshmallow on top of one graham cracker.
• spread a layer of the orange ganache on the 2nd graham cracker.
• lay that on top of the marshmallow, press down gently.
• dip one corner half of the s'more into orange candy melt.
• sprinkle nonpareils over the candy melt coating.

Steps:

• For the homemade cinnamon grahams (graham crackers): Whisk together the flours, sugar, baking soda, sea salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, heavy cream, honey and molasses if using. Combine the wet and dry ingredients and stir to make a moist dough. Divide in half, press into 2 squares (roughly 6-by-5-inches each), wrap tightly in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.
• Dust a clean work surface lightly with flour. Working with 1 portion at a time, roll each square into a larger 10- to 11-inch square, about 1/8 inch thick, turning the dough frequently to ensure it isn't sticking and taking care to keep it in a rough rectangular shape. (Use a pastry scraper and a light dusting of flour when it sticks.) Repeat with the remaining dough.
• Use a sharp knife or a pastry cutter to cut each square of dough into 16 squares, roughly 2 1/2-by-2 1/2-inches, trimming the edges as needed. Use a fork to mark each a few times. Brush with the beaten egg.
• For the cinnamon sugar: Whisk together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle lightly over each graham.
• Bake, rotating the trays halfway through, until the grahams are deeper brown around the edges, 15 minutes. Cool completely on a rack and serve the day they are baked, or store, well-wrapped, for up to 3 days. Freeze any additional grahams for up to 2 weeks.
• To serve: Use a little knife or a spoon to spread some Salted Chocolate Ganache on a graham, then top with a toasted marshmallow and another graham.
• Heat the cream in a small pot until simmering. Place the chocolate in a medium, heat-proof bowl and pour the simmered cream over the top. Let stand for 2 minutes before whisking until a smooth paste. Pour into a small pot or jar and sprinkle the top with flaky sea salt. Chill until ready to use (it should be thick but still easy to spread with an offset spatula or a spoon). Makes 3/4 cup.
