If you’re a fan of classic s’mores but want to take it up a notch, these Deep Fried S’mores are the perfect indulgent treat. Crispy on the outside with a gooey marshmallow and chocolate center, this dessert is a must-try for any sweet tooth!
Ingredients:
- 12 large marshmallows
- 6 graham crackers, crushed
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup pancake batter (store-bought or homemade)
- 1-2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Chocolate sauce (for dipping)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Marshmallows:
- Insert 3-4 chocolate chips into the center of each large marshmallow.
2. Coat with Graham Cracker Crumbs:
- Roll each marshmallow in the crushed graham crackers, ensuring an even coating all over.
3. Heat the Oil:
- In a deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of bread; it should sizzle and brown within a minute.
4. Dip and Fry the Marshmallows:
- Dip each graham cracker-coated marshmallow into the pancake batter, ensuring it’s fully covered.
- Gently place the battered marshmallow into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Fry a few at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the fried s’mores and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
5. Serve and Enjoy:
- Dust the deep-fried s’mores with powdered sugar and serve warm with chocolate sauce for dipping.
Tips for Deep Fried S’mores:
- Extra Crunch: For an extra crispy coating, roll the marshmallows in graham cracker crumbs again after dipping them in the batter.
- Different Chocolate: You can substitute milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate.
- No Pancake Batter? Use tempura batter or a similar light batter for frying.
FAQs About Deep Fried S’mores:
Can I use mini marshmallows?
Yes, you can, but it may be easier to fry them if you skewer several mini marshmallows together to create a larger piece.
How do I store leftovers?
These are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat them in the oven to retain some crispness.
Can I bake these instead of frying?
Frying gives the best crispy texture, but you could bake them in a high-heat oven for a similar effect, though they might not be as crispy.
These Deep Fried S’mores are the ultimate indulgent dessert with their crispy golden exterior and gooey marshmallow-chocolate center. Perfect for parties or when you’re craving something truly decadent, these s’mores will take your dessert game to the next level!
