The last time I blogged was a year ago...about s'mores. Now, you may think that's all that comes out of my kitchen, but I swear there's more variety! I just happen to love s'mores. :)
After making some mini s'mores cupcakes for a friend's birthday, I had some frosting left over. Remembering this cake and serendipitously making a dip as my niece and I scraped the bowls, I decided to make the dip on purpose. And getting together with some of the hubs' co-workers took away some of the guilt.
S'mores Dip
8 oz chocolate chips
1 c heavy cream
Directions: In a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, heat heavy
cream in microwave for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes. Add chocolate to warmed cream. Let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Stir until
cream and chocolate are well blended. {I added more cream than a typical ganache because I wanted it to be dip-able.}
For
marshmallow cream cheese frosting
4 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz
marshmallow fluff
3 T powdered sugar Directions: Cream together cream cheese and fluff until well blended. Add powdered sugar. Mix until incorporated. {Note: This is a quarter of my regular recipe. I halved it for the mini s'more cupcakes and used whatever was left over to make this dip.}
To assemble: Spoon ganache into small dip bowl. Pipe frosting on top. Serve with graham crackers.
If you're serving this to multiple people and have a dish similar to this (multiple compartments), I highly recommend using it. This way, people can get to it from all sides and there will be less fighting. This wasn't my intention when I first decided to use this dish, but as people were dipping, it proved to work in everyone's favor. ;)
