If you ignore the fact the marshmallow fluff isn’t toasted (maybe someday I’ll buy a blowtorch and try toasting. Obviously you can’t put it under the broiler), it has everything you want in a s’mores – graham cracker, marshmallow, and lots of chocolate with the added bonus of fresh strawberries.
This tart is also very versatile. You can sub raspberries, cherries, bananas, pineapple, any fruit that goes well with chocolate. Or you can leave out the fruit and just make the ganache swirl filling. I won’t tell ;)
The only baking required is the crust. I upped the cracker crumb amount since it never seems like there is enough crumb to cover the whole pan. Don’t have a tart pan? Use a pie plate!
As for the filling, you melt the chocolate and cream on the stovetop then pour on top of the sliced berries. Then you microwave some marshmallow fluff, spoon on top of your chocolate, then swirl away! Keep this tart refrigerated as much as possible because the chocolate will start to melt.
Once in awhile, I like to go back to older posts and redo a recipe (mainly for the pictures). I posted this tart one year ago.
Strawberry S’mores Tart
Author: Carla Cardello (www.chocolatemoosey.com)
Serves: One 9-inch tart
Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 10 oz. semisweet chocolate
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 1/2 cups thinly sliced strawberries
- 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Have a 9-inch tart pan or pie plate ready.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press the crumbs into the bottom and sides of the pan. Place onto a cookie sheet for easier handling. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool. Turn off the oven.
- While the crust is cooling, in a medium saucepan, heat the cream over low heat until bubbles form around the edge. Remove from the heat and add chocolate; stir until melted. Cool 5 minutes.
- When the crust is cool, place sliced strawberries in a single layer on the crust. Pour the chocolate mixture on top.
- Place the marshmallow cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds or until softened. Stir just until smooth. Quickly drop spoonfuls over the chocolate layer and swirl with a knife. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to set the chocolate.

This looks FABULOUS! Such a pretty dish. I love the pop of color from the red strawberries and the swirls of chocolate and marshmallow. And I pretty much love anything made with a graham cracker crust. :)
Another great strawberry recipe! I am loving your strawberry week. So many good choices of what to make with strawberries. And chocolate is always a good choice.
Oh, man. I love s’mores and I love strawberries!! This looks amazing!
Oh em gee. This combines two of my favorite things. There’s nothing better than s’mores!!
I think your pics are beautiful!
Carla this is gorgeous!!
This looks insanely good! Must try using my blowtorch to see how that works. All I need is a slightly burnt marshmallow taste to make my life go round.
I want this right now! Looks so good!
yet another delightful strawberry recipe!
This looks absolutely amazing. I’m so glad I found your site! I’ll definitely be checking out more of your recipes!
Would it be possible to somehow broil the marshmellows separate and then combine? Like spoon some into a shallow dish, broil it, and then spoon the toasted marshmellow fluff onto the top of the tart? It might make it more difficult to “swirl” but yummmm toasted marshmellows!
I never tried it, but I’m imagining that like you said, they would be really hard to swirl, not to mention maybe stick to the pan/bowl you use to broil. Maybe you could broil the fluff and if you have luck getting it out, just pile it into the middle and spread it flat with berries around it? Or maybe you could broil individual mini marshmallows and stick them into the chocolate then refrigerate?
What a wonderful idea! This looks so delicious and beautiful! I am very into strawberry recipes right now too and cannot to try this one out! :-)
What a fantastic idea to mix strawberries into a s’more!
This is a brilliant idea. Definitely will be putting it on my ‘to-make list’. Plus the presentation is beautiful.
Scrumptious tart Carla! I love tarts savory or sweet, they are all my darlings. =D Pretty design btw!
