Ingredients

Graham Shortbread

5 tbsp brown sugar
1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
½ cup + 2 tbsp finely ground graham cracker crumbs
½ tsp salt
5½ tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes

Marshmallow

1 packet powdered gelatin
1/3 cup + ¼ cup water, divided
1 cup sugar

Chocolate Coating

4 oz Princeton Milk Chocolate
0.5 oz coconut oil (optional)

Directions

Graham Shortbread

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease 2, 24 count mini mun pans*.
2. Place the sugar, our, graham crumbs, and salt in food processor. Pulse to combine. Add butter pieces, pulse to ne crumbs.
3. Put 1 tablespoon of crust mix into each cavity of mini mun tin and press in, forming a small cup.
4. Bake until edges begin to brown, about 12 minutes.
5. Once cooled, invert pan and tap to remove cups. If desired, save the crumbs and use them as a garnish for the tops.

Marshmallows

1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, sprinkle the gelatin over the 1/3 cup water. Let sit to bloom.
2. In a small saucepan, place the ¼ cup water. Carefully pour sugar into pot, keeping it away from the sides of the pan.
3. Cook over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Only stir if necessary to incorporate sugar into water. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to clean any sugar crystals from the side of the bowl.
4. Once sugar is dissolved, turn heat to medium-high. Do not stir at this point, and only use pastry brush if absolutely necessary. Put candy thermometer into pot.
5. Boil sugar until it reaches 238°F (soft ball stage).
6. Remove from heat. With the mixer running on low, carefully stream sugar mixture into the gelatin mixture. Go slowly at rst to avoid formation of gelatin lumps.
7. Once sugar is fully incorporated, turn mixer up to medium high. Beat until fluffy, stiff, and cool. Transfer mixture to a large piping bag.

Assembly

1. Pipe marshmallow on to baked, cooled shortbread.
2. While the marshmallow is setting, temper milk chocolate or melt with coconut oil.
3. Once marshmallow is set, dip the tops in to the chocolate coating.
4. Sprinkle with crust or additional graham cracker crumbs if desired. Let set before serving. If using coconut oil, store in refrigerator for a rm coating.

*Alternate Format
Bake the shortbread in a 9x9 square pan lined with parchment paper and well-greased. Spread the marshmallow on top of the cooled shortbread, and once set, spread the chocolate topping.

Ingredients

Crème Anglaise

3 egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1½ cups whole milk
½ tsp vanilla

Meringue “Islands”

1/3 cup sugar
3 egg whites
pinch of salt
pinch of cream of tartar

Ganache

4 oz Covington dark chocolate
½ cup heavy cream
1/3 cup finely crushed graham crackers

Directions

Crème Anglaise

1. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar in a medium bowl.
2. Bring the milk to a simmer over medium heat in a medium saucepan.
3. Once it reaches a simmer, remove the milk from the heat and carefully stream half the milk into the egg yolks, whisking constantly. Return the pan to the heat and transfer the yolk mixture into the pan with the remaining milk, whisking constantly.
4. Switch to a wooden spoon and cook the custard, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon such that when you run your nger through it, it leaves a clear line. Do not let it boil; it will curdle.
5. Once thickened, remove immediately from the heat and transfer to another container to cool (pour through a strainer if your sauce has any lumps). Place in the refrigerator to cool.

Meringue “Islands”

1. Place the egg whites with a pinch each of salt and cream of tartar in the bowl of a standing mixer. Whip on medium until foamy.
2. While continuing to mix, slowly add the sugar in a ne stream. Whip until glossy, medium peaks are formed.
3. While whipping the meringue, bring a saucepan of water to just below a simmer on the stovetop.
4. For mini meringues, place the uncooked meringue in a piping bag with a medium round tip. Pipe directly into the water, cutting the stream with a small metal spatula to create small cylinders. For larger portions, use two spoons to place dollops in to the water. Poach meringues until they are slightly puffed and firmed (30 seconds for mini, 1-2 minutes for larger meringues).

Ganache

1. Finely chop the chocolate and place it in a small heatproof bowl.
2. Bring the cream to a rapid boil. Pour over chocolate.
3. Let sit to melt the chocolate, then carefully stir to emulsify.
4. Set aside to cool at room temperature.

Assembly

1. Place a small pool of ganache in the center of the vessels.
2. Pour in custard to cover the bottom of the dish.
3. Place a meringue in the center and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
(For mini portions, use an amuse bouche spoon. For larger servings, use shallow bowls.)

Note:
The crème anglaise and ganache be made up to 3 days ahead and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. The ganache will need to be warmed up to a pourable consistency if coming straight from the refrigerator. Meringues should be made just before serving.
