  • Author: Michelle
  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the graham cracker crust

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot starch
  • 1/4 cup each maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup ghee, melted (sub coconut oil)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

 For the marshmallow

  • 1 cup water (divided)
  • 3 tbsp gelatin
  • 1 cup honey

For the chocolate ganache

  • 1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut cream


Instructions

To make the graham cracker crust

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line an 8×8″ baking dish with lightly greased parchment paper.
  2. Combine the ingredients for the crust in a large bowl and stir until fully incorporated. The batter should be fairly wet and sticky.
  3. Press the batter into the baking dish until it evenly covers the bottom. Transfer to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  4. Remove the pan from the oven and set aside, allow the crust and the pan to cool to the touch.

For the marshmallow

  1. Pour 1/2 cup of water into a small bowl and sprinkle the gelatin over top. Stir gently to ensure the gelatin is combined. Set aside.
  2. Using a medium-sized pot slowly heat the honey combined with the other 1/2 cup of water. Slowly bring the temperature to 235-240 F degrees on low heat. Remove from heat immediately once the mixture comes to temperature.
  3. Slowly add in the honey mixture to gelatin mixture as you whisk on high with either an electric hand mixer or a stand mixer. Continue whisking on high, until stiff peaks start to form in the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Pour the mixture over the prepared crust and place in the fridge to harden for 3-4 hours or until soft and springy to the touch.

For the ganache 

  1. Combine the chocolate and coconut cream in a bowl and melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each round, or over a double boiler.
  2. Allow the ganache to cool slightly (you don’t want it to be steaming or the marshmallow can melt) before pouring over the marshmallow. Use a rubber spatula to evenly spread the chocolate over the marshmallow.
  3. Transfer to the fridge to allow to harden for 1-2 hours.
  4. Once the ganache is set, remove from the fridge and carefully transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 9 large slices, and 18 small slices and serve chilled!
