Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
- 200 grams (7oz) graham crackers, finely crushed
- 120 grams (8 1/2 tbs) unsalted butter, melted
Chocolate Ganache Filling
- 600 grams (1lb 5oz) dark chocolate
- 480 milliliters (20 fl.oz) cream
- 113 grams (8 tbs) unsalted butter
Marshmallow Fluff
- 3 egg whites
- 187 grams (6.6oz) granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Instructions
Graham Cracker Crust
- Crush the cookies by hand or in a food processor and then pour the butter into the mixture and stir.
- Press the mixture into the pan. Chill for 30 minutes
Chocolate Ganache Filling
- Place chocolate in a medium to large bowl. Measure the cream into a medium saucepan and place on medium heat. Stirring with a wooden spoon, bring the cream to just before boiling.
- Pour directly into the chocolate and allow it to sit for 1-2 minutes. Using a whisk, combine the chocolate and cream and stir until it forms a thick liquid.
- Stir in butter until fully dissolved. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Whip ganache using a hand held or standing mixer for 2-3 minutes. Place bowl back into the fridge for another 15 minutes, and whip again. Do this a total of three to four times, until the ganache lightens in colour and has fluffed up nicely.
- Pour onto cracker base.
Marshmallow Fluff
- In a small pot, bring about an inch of water to a simmer.
- Add the egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar to a heat-safe bowl that fits on top of the pot without touching the water. Keep the water just at a simmer
- Stir the mixture until the sugar has completely dissolved, about 4-5 minutes. Do not overheat or you will cook the eggs. You will know it is done when you rub a bit between your fingers and it does not feel grainy.
- With a hand mixer or stand mixer, whisk the egg whites on low speed until frothy. Increase to high speed and beat until the meringue reaches stiff peaks, about 5-8 minutes. See video for how it looks at this stage.
- Spread this liberally over the ganache filling, and then using a chef torch, lightly roast the topping until you get a nice browned effect. Serve immediately. Can be kept a couple of days covered, at room temperature, however the ganache will set up, making it less mushy and in my opinion it's better to dig in right away!
