Smores Chocolate Mousse Recipes

Steps:

• Crust: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. On a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, arrange eight 3-by-3-inch round ring molds. In a food processor, pulse graham crackers until finely ground. Add flour, salt, butter, and sugar; pulse to combine. Transfer mixture to another rimmed baking sheet and bake 10 minutes. Using a bench scraper or metal spatula, coarsely chop until no large clumps remain. Bake 10 minutes more. Remove and chop again; set aside to cool.
• Meanwhile, melt milk chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Transfer graham cracker mixture to a large bowl. Add melted milk chocolate and stir to combine. Add 1/4 cup to each ring mold and press with a small spoon to pack tightly. Refrigerate until set.
• Mousse Filling: In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1 tablespoon cold water; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Melt semisweet chocolate and butter in a heatproof bowl set over (not in) a pot of simmering water, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Add gelatin mixture, stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat; add egg yolks and whisk until well combined. Let cool to room temperature.
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites and salt until stiff peaks form. Whisk one-third of egg-white mixture into semisweet-chocolate mixture; gently fold in remaining egg-white mixture. Gently fold in whipped cream. Divide mousse evenly among ring molds (about 1/4 cup each). Refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours.
• Meringue Topping: Combine egg whites, sugar, and salt in the heatproof bowl of a mixer set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved, and mixture is warm to the touch and feels completely smooth when rubbed between fingertips. Transfer bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Starting on low speed and gradually increasing to medium-high, whisk until stiff (but not dry) peaks form. Add cornstarch and vanilla. Continue whisking until meringue is fluffy and glossy, and completely cool (test by touching the bottom of the bowl), 6 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip; pipe on top of mousse to fill mold. Using a small offset spatula, smooth meringue to make it flush with top of mold.
• Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Let stand at room temperature 5 minutes. To unmold, place ring mold on top of a narrow glass or spice jar; gently pull mold down. If necessary, briefly torch sides of molds with a kitchen torch to loosen (be careful not to overheat). Transfer to a heatproof plate. Repeat process with remaining molds. Use kitchen torch to brown tops of meringues. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Line an 8-inch-square baking pan with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over two sides of the pan to act as handles. Spray the parchment with non-stick spray.
• Place 18 marshmallows (about 4 ounces or 2 cups) in a medium bowl and set aside. Place the remaining 8 ounces of marshmallows (about 4 cups) in a large microwave-safe bowl along with the butter. Microwave on high until the marshmallows and butter are completely melted, about 1 minute, stirring halfway through. Stir to combine. Add the graham crackers and rice cereal and quickly stir them into the melted marshmallows. Immediately scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Spray the bottom of a measuring cup with nonstick spray and use it to press the mixture into an even layer in the pan.
• Place 1 cup heavy cream to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the cream until it is just starting to steam, about 1 minute. Add the chocolate chips and cocoa powder. Shake the bowl lightly to make sure the chips are completely submerged in the heavy cream. Let stand about 5 minutes. Whisk the heavy cream and chocolate together until smooth. If any chocolate isn't melted you can microwave for 10-second increments until completely melted. It's important to only microwave 10 seconds at a time so the mixture never gets too hot. Once melted set aside to cool slightly.
• Place the remaining 1 cup of heavy cream in the bowl of an electric mixer or a medium bowl and whip with a mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the melted chocolate until you no longer see any streaks of white. Spoon the mousse over the graham cracker base and smooth the top to make an even layer.
• Cut the reserved 18 marshmallows that were set aside in half horizontally. Press 6 marshmallow halves in a row along the bottom border of the pan. Continue adding lines of marshmallows so that you have 6 rows of 6 marshmallows each covering the mousse. Cover with plastic wrap (preferably reusable) and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• When ready to serve, cut the bars into 6 long strips following the lines of the marshmallows. Then cut the strips in half so that each bar has 3 marshmallow halves on it. If desired, toast the marshmallows with a kitchen torch and serve. The bars can be refrigerated up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Thread a marshmallow onto a stick or skewer and toast it over an open flame. Sandwich the cooked marshmallow between the 2 biscuits.

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate first, preferably on the stovetop in a double boiler. You can also melt it in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl.
• While the chocolate is melting, make sandwiches with the Graham Crackers (broken along the preforations) and Marshmellow Cream. I prefer using the Cinnamon Graham crackers with the Cinnamon coating on the inside of the sandwiches.
• Once the chocolate has melted, drop a sandwich into the chocolate and roll it around with a pair of tongs. Once evenly covered, drop the sandwich onto the wax paper to cool.
• You may have to reheat the chocolate midway through to make it easier to work with.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine milk and pudding mixes. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in 2 cups COOL WHIP Whipped Topping. Refrigerate until ready to use. Place one cup of JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallows and one cup of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping into microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 30 seconds. Remove from microwave and stir well, adding in the remaining COOL WHIP Whipped Topping.
• If topping your jars in chocolate and graham cracker crumbs, pour approximately four tablespoons of chocolate sauce onto a plate, and dip the opening of your jar into the chocolate sauce, then into the finely crushed graham cracker mixture. Repeat with remaining jars.
• Time to fill your jars: spoon approximately four tablespoons of graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of each 8 oz. jar. Next, spoon a layer of your COOL WHIP Whipped Topping and JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallow mixture into each jar, using approximately 1/2 cup for each jar. Next, spoon your pudding into each jar, using approximately 1/2-2/3 cup of pudding into each jar.
• Sprinkle additional graham cracker crumbs on top of pudding layer, followed by an additional scoop of COOL WHIP Whipped Topping and JET-PUFFED Miniature Marshmallow mixture. Sprinkle JET-PUFFED Vanilla MALLOW Bits on top and add a quarter sheet of graham cracker to the top for garnish (if desired, dip the graham cracker into the pudding and sprinkle with JET-PUFFED Vanilla MALLOW Bits). Chill in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. Grease rectangular pan, 13x9x2 inches. Mix 2 cups of the cracker crumbs and the butter in medium bowl. Press on bottom of pan.
• Bake 10 minutes.
• Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Mix marshmallow creme and 1 cup chocolate topping in large bowl until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and 2 cups of the marshmallows. Spoon filling evenly over cooled crust.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cracker crumbs and 1 cup marshmallows over top of dessert. Drizzle remaining 1 cup chocolate topping over top of dessert.
• Spray a piece of aluminum foil with cooking spray. Tightly cover dessert with foil, sprayed side down.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours or freeze up to 3 days. Cut into squares.
