Jump to Recipe Print RecipeNothing screams summer more than S’mores! They are a essential summer classic and so nostalgic. Whether you make them them over a open fire or otherwise there is no denying those ooey gooey chocolaty marshmallow-y little squares of goodness.
Well I’m taking your favorite childhood treat and turning into a decadent tart. This No Bake S’mores Tart starts out with a graham cracker crust then filled with a rich semi-sweet chocolate pudding layer and topped with a marshmallow meringue
Chocolate Pudding
I used semi-sweet chocolate but you can definitely use Milk Chocolate just like the classic S’mores. The Semi-sweet chocolate creates a very rich and decadent tart so choose Milk Chocolate if you don’t want it as rich.
Marshmallow Meringue
This S’mores tart has a homemade Marshmallow Meringue which goes perfectly with the rich semi sweet pudding.
Since you are using 3 yolks for the pudding, you are going to use those egg whites to make the meringue.
You can certainly use a double boiler but I’m not about doing a lot of dishes so I made the meringue in a pot. Simply place the sugar and whites in the pot over medium- low heat. WHISK CONSTANTLY! Don’t walk away from the stove because I promise you will end of with a sugary mess.
Also, when you are ready to whisk the egg whites, it is imperative to make sure your bowl is squeaky clean, otherwise the whites won’t whisk and there is generally no going back.
Assembly
Ok, so now that we have everything together…. let’s assemble this baby!
Fill the Graham Cracker Crust with the pudding mixture. Let it cool on the counter for about 20 minutes before popping it into the fridge. Be sure to cover it with saran warp so it doesn’t develop a film. Chill for 1-2 hours.
Before serving, top the tart with Marshmallow Meringue then torch for that famous toasty goodness.
