Stars And Stripes Smores Cups Recipe By Tasty

16-LAYER NO-BAKE S'MORES CAKE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a large heatproof bowl, pour the hot heavy cream over the semisweet chocolate chips. Let stand for 30 seconds, then whisk together for 1 minute, or until thick and smooth.
• Place 1 cup (85 g) of marshmallow fluff in a medium heatproof bowl and place the remaining fluff into a separate medium heatproof bowl. Add a tablespoon of milk to the bowl with 1 cup (85 g) of fluff and the remaining 2 tablespoons milk to the bowl with the remaining fluff.
• Microwave each bowl of fluff for 15 seconds.
• Remove the bowls from the microwave and use a fork to stir the milk into the fluff until it is thick and smooth. Cover the bowl with less fluff and store in the fridge - it will be used later for decoration.
• Line a 5x8-inch (13x20cm) loaf pan with parchment paper and place a row of graham crackers on the bottom of the pan. Pour a thin layer of the marshmallow fluff over the graham crackers and use a spoon or spatula to spread the mixture evenly. Place another row of graham crackers on top of the fluff, then pour a thin layer of the chocolate ganache over the crackers and use a spoon or spatula to spread an even layer. Repeat three more times.
• Cover and chill in the fridge overnight.
• Remove the cake and reserved marshmallow fluff from the fridge. Use the parchment to lift the cake out of the loaf pan. Microwave the leftover marshmallow fluff mixture for 15 seconds, then use a spatula to spread the fluff over the cake in an even layer.
• Optional: use a small kitchen torch to gently toast the marshmallow topping. Sprinkle crumbled graham cracker and chocolate chunks over the top of the cake.
• Enjoy!

STARS AND STRIPES S'MORES CUPS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
• In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
• Add the marshmallows, and stir with a silicone spoon until completely melted.
• Add the graham cereal, and stir until evenly coated.
• Decrease the heat to low and leave the pot on the burner to keep the mixture warm.
• Using a 2-ounce ice cream scoop, transfer one scoop of the cereal mixture to a muffin cup. Let stand for 20 seconds to cool enough to handle, then use your fingers to press the ball into the bottom and up the side to mold it to the shape of the cup.
• Repeat with the remaining cereal mixture, working with one scoop at a time, then let all the cereal cups cool to room temperature. You will have about 2 scoops-worth of cereal mixture leftover. Discard or save for another use.
• Divide the marshmallow fluff evenly among 3 small bowls. Stir 1 teaspoon of water into each bowl of fluff. Stir the red food coloring into one bowl, and stir the blue food coloring into a second bowl. The third bowl will be plain white.
• Transfer each bowl of fluff to a small piping bag or plastic zip-top bag.
• Cut the bottoms or corners off each bag and fill 4 cereal cups with each color.
• Place the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl and microwave until melted. Transfer the melted chocolate to a small piping bag or plastic zip-top bag.
• Cut the bottom or corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the top of each cup.
• Scatter the sprinkles evenly over each cup then refrigerate the cups to set the fluff filling, at least 30 minutes or up to 1 day.
• Stand a sparkler candle in the center of each cup, if you like, and light on fire just before serving.
• Enjoy!
