S’mores Cupcakes

Jump to Recipe

This s’mores dessert is fantastic, it has everything from a s’more, but in a cupcake. The base consists of a delicious graham cracker crust, that is paired with a rich, chocolaty cupcake, and topped with a marshmallowy frosting that is toasted for that signature campfire flavour.

Preheat your oven to 350°F, and line a 12-cupcake tin with liners. In a bowl, stir together the graham crackers, brown sugar, salt, and cinnamon.

Stir in the vanilla extract and melted butter until evenly coated.

Divide among the cupcake liners, and firmly press into the bottom. Bake for 7 minutes until set.

Sift the dry ingredients into a bowl, and stir to combine.

Cream together the butter and sugar until light.

Whisk in the egg until fluffy.

Add in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and oil.

Mix in half of the dry ingredients until barely combined.

Mix in the the milk and coffee until combined.

Fold in the rest of the dry ingredients until incorporated.

Divide among the liners, and bake for 18-22 minutes until golden brown, rotating halfway.

Remove and cool in the tin for 3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Place over a pot of simmering water, and whisk until the mixture is warm.

Whip until stiff and glossy, and mix in the vanilla extract.

Pipe the frosting onto each cupcake.

Toast the cupcakes with a blow torch, and top with graham cracker crumbs

Enjoy!
