HOMEMADE CINNAMON GRAHAMS AND SALTED CHOCOLATE GANACHE S'MORES



Homemade Cinnamon Grahams and Salted Chocolate Ganache S'mores image

Even though graham crackers and s'mores are completely American, my Hungarian-American kids love them, and they're always on our mind after goulash, since we usually make goulash over a live fire. Andras' mom bakes a lot with graham flour, since many Hungarian pastries are more rustic-so we've learned to love the sweet, earthy flavor. If you don't have it you can use a local or freshly-ground whole-wheat flour, which has the earthy graham-forward flavor. The traditional sweetness comes from honey and a touch of molasses, which give these a familiar flavor (even the dough tastes great!). If you want a lighter "honey" graham style, skip the molasses. The beautiful thing about homemade grahams is you can make them in any shape you want-rectangles with scored quarters (like boxed grahams), squares or even rounds.Whenever I make s'mores, I set the chocolate squares onto the grahams and let it melt by the fire for a long time before I stack with my blistered marshmallow. The melt factor helps it deliver far better on satisfaction. But it's far easier to make a quick ganache, with the ratio slightly skewed in favor of the chocolate, to make a just-spreadable paste for homemade grahams. Then no matter what kind of marshmallows I use, we get a totally dreamy, melty result.

Time 2h

Yield 16 s'mores

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cups graham flour
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for the surface
1/2 cup dark brown sugar or coconut sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch ground nutmeg
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup heavy cream, half-and-half or whole milk, at room temperature
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon molasses, optional
1 egg, well beaten
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Salted Chocolate Ganache, recipe follows
Toasted marshmallows
1/2 cup heavy cream
5 ounces bittersweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon, for sprinkling

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.

Provided by International Delight

Categories     Desserts

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup good-quality chocolate chips
½ cup International Delight Cocoa PEBBLES™ Coffee Creamer.
10 graham crackers
1 vanilla ice cream, cynlindrical container
3 tablespoons cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Make the ganache: Add the chocolate chips to a medium heatproof bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the International Delight Cocoa PEBBLES™ Coffee Creamer to a simmer over medium heat. Pour over the chocolate chips and stir until the chocolate is melted and the ganache is smooth. Chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, until the ganache is no longer warm but still spreadable.
  • Assemble the s'mores: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Break the graham crackers in half crosswise and set 10 of the graham cracker squares on the prepared baking sheet. Set the remaining 10 squares aside.
  • Use scissors to remove the cardboard packaging from the ice cream and set the ice cream cylinder on a cutting board. Cut the ice cream crosswise into 1-inch thick planks, then set the planks flat and cut into 10 2x2½-inch squares. Immediately place the ice cream squares directly on top of the graham crackers on the baking sheet, then transfer to the freezer for at least 30 minutes, up to 60 minutes, until the ice cream is frozen solid again and stuck to the graham crackers.
  • Transfer the ganache to a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip.
  • Carefully pipe about 2 tablespoons of ganache onto each ice cream square, leaving about ¼ inch of space around the edges. Place the remaining 10 graham crackers squares on top of the ganache and press down gently until the ganache starts to drip over the edges of the ice cream. Return to the freezer to firm for at least 30 minutes, up to 60 minutes.
  • Just before serving, use a small piece of paper to cover half of a graham cracker square diagonally. Use a small strainer to sift cocoa powder lightly onto the exposed half of the frozen s'more. Repeat with the remaining s'mores.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
