Peanut Butter S’mores Parfaits

Mini dessert parfaits layered with graham cracker crumble, peanut butter marshmallow mousse, milk chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallows!

I haven’t posted any s’mores recipes for you this summer, I was waiting until I had something extra special.  These little parfaits… they certainly are that!  Peanut butter and milk chocolate play starring rolls, but the other classic s’mores components are here and prominent.  There is marshmallow infused into the peanut butter mousse (gotta love marshmallow fluff!) and then toasted marshmallows top each adorable shot-glass dessert.

I couldn’t resist digging into one for… you know, the good of the photo shoot.  Ha, who am I kidding?  I just couldn’t resist.

Author: Lauren Lilling

Recipe type: Dessert

Makes: 1 dozen mini parfaits

Ingredients

• Graham Cracker Crumble (recipe below)
• Peanut Butter Marshmallow Mousse (recipe below)
• Milk Chocolate Ganache (recipe below)
• 28g (~1/2 cup) mini marshmallows

Instructions

1. Put about one teaspoon of graham cracker crumble on the bottom of each shot glass
2. Pipe peanut butter mousse into each parfait glass so that they are ⅓ of the way full (you can also use a spoon but I find that this helps for a “cleaner” look)
3. Layer each parfait with about one teaspoon of chocolate ganache
4. Repeat layers and top each parfait with mini marshmallows; chill in refrigerator until ready to eat
5. When ready to serve, use a blow torch to gently char the marshmallows right before serving

Notes

You will need 12 tall shot glasses (alternatively, you can use four larger sized glasses of choice for full-sized desserts, just scale up the size of each layer when putting them together)
I recommend making the components below around the same time, the mousse can be made earlier in the day if needed
Parfaits are best enjoyed immediately but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and enjoyed for up to five days
If making for someone who is gluten-intolerant, make sure all ingredients are labeled “gluten-free”
