Chocolate Raspberry Creme Smores Recipes

CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY CREME BRULEE

Steps:

• Place chocolate in a large bowl. In a large saucepan, bring cream and 1/2 cup sugar just to a boil. Pour over chocolate; whisk until smooth. Slowly stir hot cream mixture into egg yolks; stir in vanilla., Place 3 raspberries in each of 10 ungreased 6-oz. ramekins or custard cups. Evenly divide custard among ramekins. Place in a baking pan; add 1 in. of boiling water to pan. Bake, uncovered, at 325° for 40-50 minutes or until centers are just set (custard will jiggle). Remove ramekins from water bath; cool 10 minutes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours., Combine brown sugar and remaining sugar. If using a creme brulee torch, sprinkle custards with sugar mixture. Heat sugar with the torch until caramelized. Serve immediately. If broiling the custards, place ramekins on a baking sheet; let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with sugar mixture. Broil 8 in. from the heat until sugar is caramelized, 4-7 minutes. Refrigerate until firm, 1-2 hours. If desired, top with additional fresh raspberries.

CHOCOLATY S'MORES BARS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows; cook and stir until blended. Remove from heat. Stir in cereal until coated., Press into a greased 13x9-in. pan using a buttered spatula. Drizzle with melted chocolate. Cool completely before cutting. Store in an airtight container.

RASPBERRY AND COCONUT CREAM-CHOCOLATE HAZELNUT S'MORES

Steps:

• For the chocolate-hazelnut spread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place hazelnuts on the baking sheet and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool. With a kitchen towel, roll hazelnuts around on the baking sheet to remove the skins. Discard skins and transfer hazelnuts to a food processor. Blend for about 5 minutes, until the nuts form a butter.
• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Transfer to the food processor, add the salt, and pulse to combine. (If the spread isn't sweet enough for your taste, try adding 1 tablespoon of agave nectar.) Let cool about 5 minutes in the refrigerator while you prep the other ingredients.
• For the s'mores: Assemble s'mores by layering approximately 1/2 tablespoon chocolate-hazelnut spread, 4 raspberries and 1 tablespoon whipped coconut cream between 2 graham cracker squares. (You will have chocolate-hazelnut spread leftover.)

DARK CHOCOLATE S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium.
• Spread the bottom side of each graham cracker with 1 tablespoon of the raspberry preserves and arrange on a flat surface, preserve side up. Put half a bar of the chocolate on top of the preserves on 4 of the crackers.
• Toast the marshmallows on sticks or hangers until golden brown on all sides and softened. Put 3 marshmallows on top of each of the crackers with the chocolate and top each with the remaining crackers, raspberry preserve side-down. Arrange them on sheets of foil and put them on the grill. Close the cover and grill until the chocolate just begins to melt, about 30 seconds. Serve immediately.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
• In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flours, salt, cocoa, sugar, and baking powder. Cut the butter into the flour mixture until small crumbs form. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey and milk. Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and toss lightly with a fork until the dough comes together. Add additional milk, if necessary.
• Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Divide the dough in half. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Work with half of the dough at a time, keeping the remaining dough covered. Transfer 1 piece of dough to a piece of parchment paper. Roll it out into a rectangle a bit larger than 10 by 14 inches and about 1/16-inch thick. Trim the edges and prick the dough evenly with a dough docker or fork. Transfer the dough to the baking sheet, sprinkle the top with half of the sugar and repeat with the remaining dough.
• Bake until slightly firm to the touch, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove them from the oven, and immediately cut them into rectangles. Transfer them to a rack to cool

RASPBERRY-MINT-CHOCOLATE S'MORES

Steps:

• Lay all 8 of the graham cracker squares onto a serving plate. Place 3 unwrapped creme de menthe thins on each of 4 of the graham cracker square. Spread 1/2 tablespoon raspberry preserves on one side of the remaining 4 graham cracker squares.
• Heat marshmallows over an open flame until they begin to brown and melt. Place hot marshmallows on top of the creme de menthe thins and top with the jam side of the other graham crackers. Allow marshmallows to cool for 1 minute before eating.
