CHOCOLATE GRAHAM CRACKER CUPCAKES WITH TOASTED MARSHMALLOW

Steps:

• Directions for batter: Preheat oven to 350° F. Line 2 standard muffin tins with cupcake liners; set aside. Makes 2 dozen cupcakes.
• Sift 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into the bowl of an electric mixer. Using the paddle attachment, mix ingredients together on low speed.
• In a large bowl, mix together eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Add to flour mixture and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl and continue mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add boiling water and stir to combine; set bake batter aside.
• Place graham cracker crumbs, remaining 1.4 cup sugar, and melted butter in a large bowl; stir until well combined.
• Place 1 tablespoon graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each prepared muffin cup. Use the bottom of a small glass to pack crumbs into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Reserve remaining graham cracker mixture for topping.
• Place 2 teaspoons chocolate in each muffin cup. Transfer muffin tins to oven and bake until the edges of the graham cracker mixture is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and fill each muffin cup three-quarters full with cake batter. Sprinkle each with remaining chocolate and graham cracker mixture. Return to oven and bake, rotating pans halfway through baking, until tops are firm and a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Transfer muffin tins to a wire rack and let cupcakes cool in pan for 10 minutes. Remove cupcakes form pan and let cool completely.
• Transfer frosting to a large pastry bag fitted with a large plain round or French tip (such as Ateco #867 or Ateco #809). Pipe frosting in a spiral motion on each cupcake. Transfer cupcakes to a baking sheet. Using a kitchen torch, lightly brown the frosting, taking care not to burn the cupcake liners. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container, up to 2 days.
• Directions for Marshmallow Frosting: Place egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar in the heatproof bowl of an electric mixer. Set over a saucepan with simmering water. Whisk constantly until sugar is dissolved and whites are warm to the touch, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer bowl to electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat, starting on low speed, gradually increasing to ;high, until stiff, glossy peaks form, 5 to 7 minutes. Add vanilla, and mix until combined. Use immediately.

MARSHMALLOW-FILLED S'MORES CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners. Line a second pan with 2 liners - this recipe makes about 14 cupcakes. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the cocoa powder, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together until thoroughly combined. Set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla together until completely smooth. Pour half of the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Then half of the buttermilk. Gently stir - about 5 stirs. Repeat with the remaining wet ingredients and buttermilk. Stir until *just* combined; do not overmix. The batter won't be very thick.
• Pour/spoon the batter into the liners - fill only halfway to avoid spilling over the sides. Bake in batches for 18-19 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool completely before continuing.
• In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter, marshmallow creme, vanilla, and cream on medium speed until completely smooth. Add 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar and the salt slowly with the mixer running on low, then increase the speed to high and beat for 1 minute. If it looks too thin, add 1/4 cup more confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate the filling until ready to use.
• Sift together the confectioners' sugar and cocoa powder to assure there are no lumps. Set aside. With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium speed until creamy - about 2 minutes. Gradually add the sifted sugar/cocoa powder alternately with the heavy cream and vanilla. Beat on low speed after each addition. Once all added, beat on high speed until creamy and combined for at least 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt if frosting is too sweet. Set aside until ready to use.
• Using a sharp knife, cut a circle/hole into the center of the cupcake to create a little pocket about 3/4 inch deep. Place 1 spoonful (a little more than 1 teaspoon) of marshmallow filling inside and top with the piece of cupcake you removed to seal. See photos above for visual. Repeat with all cupcakes. You will likely have leftover filling. It's great sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies.
• Frost the cupcakes however you like. I used my Wilton 1M swirl piping tip. Sprinkle with crushed graham crackers.
• Toast the marshmallows on a large baking sheet on one of the top oven racks with your oven on broil. They brown almost immediately, so don't leave the room! Once browned, quickly remove and let cool for 5 minutes. Scoop from the baking sheet using a spatula and place on top of the frosted cupcakes. Enjoy immediately while the marshmallows are nice and gooey.

CHOCOLATE GRAHAM CRACKER CUPCAKES WITH TOASTED MARSHMALLOW FROSTING RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two cupcake tins with baking cups (preferably foil). Sift sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, together into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Mix on low speed just to combine. In a large measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Add to the flour mixture and beat on medium speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of bowl, then beat on medium speed for an additional 2 minutes. Add boiling water, and stir on low speed until combined (Batter will be runny). In a small bowl, using a fork, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Place 1 tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into each baking cup. Use the bottom of a shot glass to press the crumbs into an even layer on the bottom of each baking cup, forming a crust. (You will have some graham cracker mixture left over, save that for later). Sprinkle two teaspoons of chopped chocolate over the graham cracker crusts in each of the baking cups. Bake crusts for about 5 minutes, until edges are slightly golden. Then, remove from the oven and fill each cup about 3/4 full with cupcake batter. Sprinkle each cupcake with some of the remaining chopped chocolate and graham cracker mixture. Return to the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cupcakes cool in tins for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. For the marshmallow frosting In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, add egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar. Set the bowl over a pan of simmering water and whisk constantly, until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch. Attach the bowl to the stand mixer and starting on low speed, gradually increasing to high, beat for 5-7 minutes until mixture holds stiff, glossy peaks. Mix in vanilla. Spoon frosting into a piping bag fitted with a large decorating tip. Pipe frosting in a swirling motion on each cupcake. Using a torch, lightly toast the frosting, being careful not to burn the cupcake liners. If you don't have a torch, you could use a handheld gas lighter, or you can even broil the cupcakes in the oven for a few minutes (but make sure to watch them closely!). Serve immediately or store in an airtight container, for up to 2 days. Note: The recipe for the frosting makes A LOT; you could probably halve the recipe and still have enough to generously pipe all 24 cupcakes. Also, you may get a few extra cupcakes out of the batter.
