Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 4 oz or 8 double cookies)
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into chunks)
  • 1 teaspoon corn syrup (optional)
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

For the Filling:

  • 3 tablespoons raspberry jam
  • 3 ounces good quality dark chocolate (60-70%, finely chopped)
  • 3 ounces good quality milk chocolate (finely chopped)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (at room temperature, cut into small pieces)

For the Meringue:

  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 cup finely ground freeze-dried raspberry powder
  • Fresh raspberries for decoration (optional)

Instructions

Make Chocolate Raspberry Smores Tart:

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, unsalted butter, corn syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch tart pan. Make sure the crust is packed tightly and evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and slightly firm. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
  • In a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (or using a microwave), melt the dark and milk chocolate until smooth. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, mixing until well combined and glossy.
  • Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the cooled crust. Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the jam, spreading it evenly to cover the jam completely. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • In a clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the granulated sugar while continuing to beat until stiff peaks form. Add the cream of tartar and vanilla, beating until fully incorporated.
  • Carefully fold in the finely ground freeze-dried raspberry powder into the meringue until just combined. Be gentle to keep the mixture light and airy.
  • Spoon the raspberry meringue over the chocolate filling, spreading it out to cover the surface completely. Create peaks and swirls for a beautiful finish.
  • Return the tart to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the meringue is lightly browned. Watch closely to prevent burning. Once done, remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature.
  • Once cooled, garnish with fresh raspberries if desired. Slice, serve, and enjoy your Chocolate Raspberry Smores Tart with friends and family!
