Inspired by everyone’s favorite campfire treat, this Strawberry Smores Tart has a chocolate marshmallow filling with a homemade graham cracker crust.
Every year Dad and I go to the local farm and pick more strawberries than we can eat. We love this farm so much, he waits until I’m home for the weekend then we go picking.
As we head back to the car, I ramble about all the stuff to make – strawberry jam, strawberry cake, strawberry shortcake, strawberry ice cream, strawberry pie.
One of my favorite strawberry desserts is this Strawberry Smores Tart because I love smores so much. The gooey marshmallows. The messy chocolate. The crunchy graham crackers. Adding fresh strawberries makes the tart even more summery.
Because chocolate melts, it’s best to keep this tart refrigerated until ready to slice and serve. Having trouble making clean slices? Dip a knife in hot water, wipe it dry, then slice.

Inspired by everyone’s favorite campfire treat, this Strawberry Smores Tart has a chocolate marshmallow filling with a homemade graham cracker crust.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup (4 ounces or 8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3/4 cup sliced strawberries
- 1/3 cup marshmallow cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Have a 9-inch tart pan ready.
- In a large bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the crumbs into the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Turn off the oven and cool completely.
- Add the chopped chocolate to a heatproof bowl. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream until hot but not boiling. Pour it over the chocolate and wait 1 minute. Stir together until completely smooth.
- Place the sliced strawberries in a single layer on top of the cooled crust. Pour the chocolate mixture over top, spreading evenly and covering all of the strawberries.
- Place the marshmallow cream in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 15 seconds or until easy to stir. Drop spoonfuls over the chocolate and swirl with a knife. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

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.

Mei-i @ gastronomic nomad says
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.

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!
Carla says
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?
