No Bake S’mores Trifles
Description
The recipe starts with a buttery graham cracker crust formed from crumbed crackers and melted butter, split among serving jars as a base layer. A chocolate ganache is prepared by melting milk chocolate with heated heavy cream to create a glossy, smooth topping. The whipped cream is whipped with powdered sugar to stiff peaks to provide a light, airy contrast.
A marshmallow filling blends cream cheese and marshmallow fluff, partly folded into the whipped cream for creaminess and sweet marshmallow flavor. Additionally, some whipped cream is mixed with ganache to enhance the chocolate dimension. These layers are alternated thoughtfully in jars, creating a visually appealing and flavorful layered dessert.
The dessert requires no baking, making it accessible and convenient. Each portioned trifle can be garnished with extra chocolate ganache, marshmallows, or whipped cream. The recipe can serve at least six but portions may vary depending on jar size. This chilled treat suits casual serving occasions and is straightforward to assemble ahead of time.
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 4 tbsp butter melted
Marshmallow Filling
- 4 oz marshmallow fluff creme
- 4 oz cream cheese slightly softened
Whipped Cream
- 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup milk chocolate chopped or chips
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Optional
- 6 marshmallows large
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Divide the graham cracker crust between 6 half pint mason jars (or any dessert glasses; however, depending upon the size of each glass, this recipe could serve more than 6). Set aside.
Chocolate Ganache
- Heat 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream in the microwave (or on the stove) for about 30-60 seconds, or until the heavy cream is just about simmering. Place chopped milk chocolate in a bowl, and pour the heavy cream over the top. Allow to stand a few minutes before whisking the ganache until smooth.
Whipped Cream
- With a hand mixer or standing mixer (with the whisk attachment(s)), whisk heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until it reaches the consistency of whipped cream (stiff peaks).
Marshmallow Filling
- Mix cream cheese and marshmallow fluff together, then add in half of the whipped cream and fold until combined.Fold 2 Tbsp of chocolate ganache into the remaining whipped cream.Divide the remaining ganache evenly between the 6 mason jar glasses, using a spoon to spread the ganache to the sides of the glass (if needed).Divide the marshmallow cream filling evenly into each glass, placing on top of the ganache.Lastly, divide chocolate whipped cream evenly, placing on top of the marshmallow cream filling.Refrigerate until ready to eat.
Optional
- If desired, place 6 marshmallows on a baking sheet (I lined mine with a Silpat baking mat).Broil on high for 3-4 minutes, or until toasted to your liking. (You can also use a kitchen torch to toast them.)Allow them to cool a few minutes before using a spatula to remove them and place on top of each trifle.Refrigerate leftovers.
