Ingredients:
- 1 cup (about 8 full sheets) crushed graham crackers
- 2 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons melted unsalted butter
- Pinch fine sea salt (for crumble)
- 1 (12 oz) can full fat evaporated milk
- 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (Dark or Dutch-process)
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt (for base)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff (or jarred marshmallow crème)
- 1 Tablespoon heavy cream (optional, for thinning)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Crumble: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, melted butter, and salt in a bowl.
- Bake the Crumble: Spread the mixture onto a small baking sheet. Bake for 6–8 minutes until fragrant and slightly toasted. Remove and allow to cool completely.
- Combine Wet Ingredients & Sugar: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the evaporated milk, whole milk, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, and salt.
- Heat Base: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3–4 minutes until sugar and cocoa are fully dissolved. Do not boil vigorously.
- Melt Chocolate: Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) until fully melted and the base is smooth and glossy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Cool Base: Transfer the chocolate base to a clean bowl, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. The base must be cool before assembly.
- Prepare Swirl: If the marshmallow fluff is very stiff, whisk it quickly with the tablespoon of heavy cream to make it slightly more pliable for swirling.
- Layer 1 (Base): Pour the cool chocolate fudgesicle base into each mould, filling them approximately one-third of the way.
- Layer 1 (Swirl & Crumble): Carefully spoon a small dollop of marshmallow fluff onto the chocolate base in each mould. Gently swirl with a skewer. Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the prepared graham cracker crumble onto the marshmallow layer.
- Layer 2 (Final): Repeat the process: add a second layer of the chocolate base, followed by a second marshmallow swirl, and a final sprinkle of the graham cracker crumble on top. Insert the popsicle sticks.
- Freeze: Transfer the filled moulds to the freezer. Freeze until completely solid, ideally overnight (6–8 hours minimum).
- Release: To serve, briefly run the outside of the mould under warm water for 15–30 seconds to release the S'mores Fudgsicle cleanly.
