VEGAN OVEN BAKED S’MORES
A classic campfire treat brought inside from the cold, using an oven to get the marshmallow centre toasty without leaving your kitchen. Tracking down vegan marshmallows can be a little tricky but I’d argue it’s time well spent.
I used McVitie’s Original Digestive Biscuits for this recipe as they challenged me to make a vegan friendly treat from their biscuits. Digestives are delicious, full of nostalgia, vegan-friendly and make this whole recipe that much easier to put together. Eat them with fresh strawberries, close your eyes and you can totally imagine yourself camping. Open your eyes again. Camping is gross, so thank dog you can make these in your kitchen instead.
Vegan Oven S'Mores
===========
Makes x4 Chocolate-Marshmallow Sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 8 McVitie’s Original Digestives Biscuits
- 12 large, vegan-friendly marshmallows (I used Dandies)
- 4 large squares of dark chocolate (or 8 of dairy-free milk chocolate)
- Fresh strawberries (optional, to serve)
Instructions:
–
Use your fingertips to lightly mush three marshmallows into each other so that they don’t roll away, and place them on top of a Digestives biscuit before repeating with the others.
Place the baking tray under the broiler for 3 minutes, or until the tops of the marshmallows are toasted.
Remove the tray from the oven, and while still hot and sticky, press the remaining Digestives biscuits onto the marshmallow - press down to finish the S’mores. The sticky marshmallow should ooze out slightly and adhere everything together - if not, give the s’mores a blast in the microwave with 5 second increments until they cooperate.
Serve with fresh strawberries or just scoff while they’re hot.
NOTES:
You can find McVitie's Digestive Biscuits at most good supermarkets.
