Did you know that today is National S’mores Day? I wanted to celebrate, but I wasn’t sure how. I’ve already made Gooey Browned Butter S’mores Bars but I wanted something a little different. It’s been hot so I wanted something that wouldn’t require the oven. I present these Mini No Bake S’mores Tarts. Not only are they no bake, but they only require 5 ingredients!
S’mores happen to be one of my all time favorite desserts. They only require 3 ingredients and you can make them all year long. I will admit that I’ve been know to even microwave them, but I don’t think there’s any shame in that! Sometimes you just need a s’more fix.

These S’mores Tarts will satisfy any s’mores lover! The creaminess of chocolate ganache pairs well with the slight chewiness of the marshmallows. The crunch of the crust adds the perfect balance that makes this an irresistible combination.
I really like this recipe because it only makes two tarts so we don’t have tons of leftovers. That being said, if you want to serve more people, you could easily double or triple the recipe.
The ingredients
I purposefully made these Mini No Bake S’mores Tarts simple and with minimal ingredients. Like i said before, only 5 ingredients and so easy to put together. I wanted a crust that didn’t have any added sugar as I knew these would be sweet enough with the chocolate and marshmallows. If you like your crust a little sweeter, feel free to add a little granulated sugar.
I generally like to use a darker, better quality chocolate. I am a big fan of Trader Joe’s pound plus bars for baking. If you have not tried them, I highly recommend them. I also like to chop them up and throw them into cookies as well. I love pockets of melted chocolate in my cookies. Can you tell I’m really into my chocolate?
Anyways, back to these tarts. If you don’t like dark chocolate (I won’t judge you for that), then you can also use semi-sweet chocolate instead. If you use whatever chocolate that you like to eat, then you can’t go wrong.
I used coconut milk from a carton for the ganache, I have not tried this with regular milk. If you wanted to substitute something for the coconut milk, I would recommend heavy cream. Regular ganache is generally made with heavy cream but I wanted something a little lighter. Although if you are eating s’mores, lighter probably isn’t what you are thinking about.
Assembly
These are super simple tarts to put together. The hardest part is waiting for each layer to chill. Once you mix and press your graham cracker crust into the mini tart pans, you need to chill it so it can set.
Once the crust is chilled, you can move onto your chocolate gananche. Two simple ingredients, which is why I highly recommend using the good stuff. Heat up the coconut milk and add it to the chopped chocolate. Whisk until smooth and pour into your crusts. Chill again until the ganache is set.
Now comes the fun part! Cut the marshmallows in half and place them on the tarts. Using a kitchen torch, toast the marshmallows. I don’t know why this part was so fun, but it was the highlight of making these tarts. Now I want to find other recipes I can torch!
If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can broil the marshmallows in the oven. Be sure to carefully watch your tarts so that they do not burn. Once the marshmallows have been toasted, you will need to chill the tarts again.
Once they are chilled, remove from the tart pans and serve! One tart could easily serve two people but I wouldn’t judge you if you ate one all by yourself. I know I would!
Mini No Bake S’mores Tarts
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 3/4 cup fine graham cracker crumbs (5 full sheets)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Chocolate Ganache
- 4 oz dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/3 cup coconut milk, from a carton and not canned
Topping
- 9 regular marshmallows, cut in half
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined and resembles wet sand.
- Divide the crust mixture evenly into two mini tart pans. Press into the pans and refrigerate for an hour or freeze 15 minutes, until set.
- Once the crust is set, you can make the ganache.
Chocolate Ganache
- In a small microwave safe bowl, heat the coconut milk in the microwave. 30 seconds – 1 minute, or until hot.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chocolate and coconut milk and whisk until smooth.
- Divide the ganache into the chilled crust and chill the tarts again. Chill for 1 hour or until the ganache has set.
Final Assembly
- Once the ganache in the tarts has set, split the marshmallows in half and place the cut side down onto the ganache. 9 halves should be enough for each tart.
- Using a blow torch, toast the marshmallows until you reach your desired toastiness. Being careful not to burn your marshmallows.
- Alternatively if you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil your tarts but keep a close eye on them so they do not burn.
- Chill the tarts once more for 30 minutes to an hour until the ganche has set back up.
Notes
- If you don’t like dark chocolate, you can substitute with semi-sweet chocolate.
- If you don’t have coconut milk from a carton, you can substitute with heavy cream.
- Keep any leftovers refrigerated, this will keep well for several days.
