Decadent Chocolate S’mores Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting
Ingredients:
For the cupcakes:
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup milk
For the chocolate ganache filling:
½ cup heavy cream
4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, chopped
For the marshmallow frosting:
4 large egg whites
1 cup granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For garnish:
Crushed graham crackers
Mini chocolate bars
Toasted marshmallows
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a bowl, whisk together graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until combined.
Fill cupcake liners about ¾ full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely.
For the ganache, heat heavy cream until simmering, then pour over chopped chocolate. Let sit for a minute, then whisk until smooth. Let cool slightly.
Cut a small hole in the center of each cupcake and fill with chocolate ganache.
For the frosting, place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Whisk constantly until the sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat and beat on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 5 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
Pipe or spread frosting onto cupcakes. Garnish with crushed graham crackers, a mini chocolate bar, and a toasted marshmallow.
