Homemade S'mores Pop Tart

Report
Homemade S'mores Pop Tarts feature a hand-prepared pie crust shaped into rectangles filled with chocolate ganache and marshmallow creme. After the chocolate ganache is chilled to thicken, it's sandwiched with marshmallow creme inside the pastry, then baked to a crisp golden finish. This recipe reinterprets classic s'mores flavors in a portable pop tart form, balancing rich chocolate and fluffy marshmallow inside a flaky crust.

Description

These Homemade S'mores Pop Tarts begin with pre-made pie crust rolled and cut into rectangles. A chocolate ganache is made by warming almond milk, butter, and semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth, with added cocoa powder for richness. The ganache is chilled to firm up before use. Marshmallow creme adds a sweet, fluffy filling.

The preparation involves sandwiching the chocolate ganache and marshmallow fluff between pairs of pastry rectangles, then sealing the edges and brushing with an egg wash before baking. The resulting pop tarts have a flaky, golden crust encasing a creamy chocolate and marshmallow center that captures the familiar s'mores taste.

These pop tarts can be enjoyed as a nostalgic treat or dessert and stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. Reheating is recommended in a toaster oven or microwave, but freezing is not advised due to the delicate texture of fillings and crust.

Practical tips include using cooking spray on utensils to spread the sticky marshmallow cream and lining piping bags with grease to prevent sticking when decorating the pop tarts.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 cup almond milk vanilla, unsweetened
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate
  • 4 pie crust pre-made
  • 1 jar marshmallow creme 13 oz, fluff
  • 1 tbsp egg wash
  • 1 graham cracker optional

Instructions

  1. First, remove the pie crusts from the refrigerator and allow them to come to room temperature. 

Make Ganache

  1. Then, heat a sauce pot to medium heat and add almond milk and butter. Wait for it to bubble around the edges of the pan. 
  2. Add in the chocolate chips and whisk until chocolate is completely dissolved. Add in cocoa powder and keep whisking. Be sure to continually whisk so the chocolate does not seize.  Once combined, remove the chocolate ganache from the heat and pour into a glass bowl. 
  3. Put the chocolate ganache bowl into the freezer and allow it to harden for 20-30 minutes. 

Prep Crust

  1. Next, preheat the oven to 400°F. 
  2. Roll out the pre-made pie crust onto a cutting board and use a plastic knife to remove the sides of each circle to make a rectangle. Then, cut each pie crust rectangle into four equal rectangles (see reference photos above for guidance). You should have 16 rectangles in total to make pairs from. 8 pairs to make 8 Pop Tarts.
  3. Use a fork to poke each pie crust square 4-5 times. This is ventilation for baking. 
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the chocolate ganache from the freezer. It should now be a thicker texture.

Fill Pop Tarts

  1. On all 16 of the pie crust rectangles, you’ll alternate streaks of chocolate ganache filling and marshmallow fluff. Leave about ½” around the perimeter of each crust to ‘close’ the Pop Tart. 
  2. Each pie crust rectangle receives 3 lines: chocolate, marshmallow, chocolate and then the paired pie crust rectangle receives marshmallow, chocolate, marshmallow. I used a rubber spatula to dollop the filling in the squares. A piping bag would also work well. 
  3. After adding the s’mores filling to the pie crusts, sandwich them together like a Pop Tart with the filling on the inside. Use your fingers to push the perimeter of the crusts together.
  4. Press down the edges of the Pop Tart together using the back of a fork to ensure closure and to add the ridged detailing that store bought Pop Tarts have.

Bake

  1. Use a baking brush to spread egg white wash on each Pop Tart. This will help caramelize the outside.
  2. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the pie crust is golden. Remove from the oven. 
  3. Line a frosting piping bag or Ziploc bag with crisco and spray grease. Add ½ of the marshmallow fluff into the greased piping bag.
  4. Pipe lines of marshmallow fluff back and forth on the top of each Pop Tart. Optionally add a dusting of crushed graham cracker on top of the fluff.
  5. Turn the oven to broil and add the marshmallow fluff ‘frosted’ S’mores Pop Tarts back into the oven for 1-2 minutes. THEY WILL BURN QUICKLY SO WATCH CLOSELY. 
  6. Remove from the oven and enjoy!

Notes

  • Store pop tarts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a toaster oven or microwave; freezing is not recommended.
  • Coat utensils with cooking spray before spreading marshmallow creme to prevent sticking.
  • Line piping bags with grease to help with marshmallow fluff frosting application.
