S’more Dirt Cake

By davidv

During the hot months we try to avoid using the stove, and I'm always looking for simple dessert recipes to have around. This dirt cake recipe is as easy as it gets, and tastes like pure summer.

Tip: For a fun twist, serve these in mini ramekins as individual desserts!

Ingredients

• 1 (14.4-oz) box chocolate graham crackers, broken into pieces
• 3-2/3 cups whole milk
• 2 (3.5-oz) packages instant vanilla pudding mix
• 2 (8-oz) packages cream cheese, softened
• 2 (7.5-oz) jars marshmallow crème
• 1 (11.5-oz) bag milk chocolate chips
• 1 (10.5-oz) bag mini marshmallows, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Place the graham crackers into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Set aside.

Whisk together the milk and the instant pudding in a large mixing bowl until thick and well mixed. Set aside.

Beat the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, until light and fluffy. Add the marshmallow crème to the bowl and whip until fully incorporated. Add the pudding mixture to the cream cheese mixture and mix until evenly combined, scrapping down the sides of the bowl.

Fold in the chocolate chips and 3-1/2 cups mini marshmallows to the cream cheese pudding mixture until fully incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.

Layer the pudding mixture and the graham cracker pieces into a large trifle bowl, starting and finishing with the graham crackers. Layer the rest of the mini marshmallows on top and carefully burn or brown the marshmallows with a handheld blowtorch, as you would over a camp fire. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
