  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/8 tsp Cream of Tartar

Instructions
 

Dough Preparation

  • In a large bowl, combine lukewarm milk and water. Sprinkle in the instant yeast and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the granulated sugar, melted butter (2 tbsp), and salt. Stir in the flour and cocoa powder until a dough forms.
  • Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour.

Chocolate Graham Cracker Filling

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy whipping cream and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth.
  • Mix in the graham cracker crumbs, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Set aside.

Assembling the Rolls

  • Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle.
  • Spread the chocolate graham cracker filling evenly over the dough.
  • Roll it up tightly and cut into equal pieces. Place the pieces in a greased baking dish and let them rise again for about 30 minutes.

Marshmallow Meringue Topping

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  • Gradually add the granulated sugar, cream of tartar, and salt. Whisk until stiff and glossy peaks form.
  • Gently fold in the remaining vanilla extract.

Baking

  • After the rolls have risen, spread the marshmallow meringue topping over the top.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.

Notes

S'mores Rolls are best enjoyed warm. Serve them as is or with a drizzle of chocolate sauce. They pair wonderfully with a glass of milk or a rich hot cocoa for a comforting treat. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze for up to three months.
