The S'more

Graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallow

One summer night I was grilling pizza over a big campfire in my backyard. I realized that in my pantry I had all the makings for S’mores, the classic campfire dessert of graham crackers, melted chocolate, and caramelized marshmallows. I put the components together for this S’more pizza, and my kids went wild. A graham cracker crust goes right on top of the crisp pizza crust. Then it’s piled with hot fudge and gooey marshmallow cream, sold at most grocery stores. Everyone will want s’more.

Ingredients:
½ cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
9 full graham crackers (1 package)
1 grilled pizza crust
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
One 7-ounce (200g) jar prepared marshmallow cream

Makes: one 12 inch (30cm) pizza

  1. Put the chocolate chips in a small microwaveable bowl. Heat for 30 seconds to melt the chips, then stir. If they are not melted completely, repeat for 15 seconds at a time until the chocolate chips melt into a thick sauce. Stir in the sweetened condensed milk until the chocolate thickens.
  2. Place 7 of the graham crackers in a thick plastic bag with a sealable top. Crush the crackers with a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs.
  3. Brush the grilled side of the pizza crust with the melted butter. Pour the graham cracker crumbs over the buttered crust, smoothing them evenly over the crust with your hand. Add small dollops of the chocolate fudge without spreading. Do the same with the marshmallow cream. The pizza should look checkered, with alternating dollops of chocolate and cream. Break the two remaining graham crackers into 1-inch (2 ½ cm) pieces and scatter them across the pizza.
  4. Just...Grill . Before serving, broil it in the oven for up to two minutes, to brown the marshmallow. Watch it closely to avoid burning.
