Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! What better way to celebrate than with chocolate and strawberries. Throw in some graham crackers and marshmallows and you’ve got yourself a party! I’ve made this gorgeous Strawberry S’more Tart several times and it never ceases to impress. Don’t be fooled though, it’s extremely easy to make.

Strawberry S'more Tart

So, how’s it taste?

Strawberry S'more Tart

Absolutely delicious! You just can’t beat the combination of chocolate and strawberries. This tart is especially good because the chocolate is a ganache. With a graham cracker crust and swirls of marshmallow creme, it’s sinful. It looks like you worked hours on it, but it’s such a simple recipe. What a way to dress up a s’more, just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Strawberry S'more Tart

Ingredients:

Crust
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted

Tart
10 oz. semisweet chocolate, chopped
2/3 cup whipping cream
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced strawberries
1/2 cup marshmallow creme
8 whole strawberries

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In small bowl, combine all crust ingredients; mix well. Press mixture in bottom and up sides of 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom or 9-inch pie pan. (If using tart pan, place on cookie sheet for easier handling.) Bake at 350°F. for 10 minutes. Cool.

2. Meanwhile, in medium saucepan, heat whipping cream until bubbles form around edge of pan. Remove from heat; add chocolate and stir until melted. Cook over low heat until all of chocolate is melted, stirring constantly. Cool 5 minutes or until lukewarm.

3. Place sliced strawberries in single layer in crust. Pour melted chocolate mixture over strawberries.

4. Place marshmallow creme in microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM for 30 seconds or until softened. Stir just until smooth. Quickly drop marshmallow creme by spoonfuls over chocolate layer. With tip of knife, swirl marshmallow creme and chocolate to marble.

5. Arrange 8 strawberries evenly around edge of tart. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to set chocolate.
