Oh dear. Houston, we have a problem.
This “recipe” came in the midst of sheer panic over not having dessert last night. And yes, not having dessert most certainly calls for a state of sheer panic. Thank goodness that state changed within a matter of minutes due to the leftover ladyfingers, some white chocolate chips and a bag of forgotten yet fresh marshmallows.
The dessert gods were with me…and now they are with you. Go in peace and create something ridiculous that will cause your sweet tooth to glow with happiness. Hey, who cares that teeth can’t really glow…yours will!
A quick note on the above photo: Nate is extremely embarrassed. I might be disowned for the remainder of the day. But when I was a poor college kid and needed a little sweet snack in the middle of the day I would turn my stove on high, stick a couple of ‘mallows on a paring knife, and toast them. It became a regular roommate occurrance and kind of brings a tear of joy to my eyes. So there you go, my husband may shun me but I will never have the same satisfaction toasting marshmallows over a flame as I do over a burner. NEVER!
WHITE CHOCOLATE S’MORES
- 1/2 batch of homemade ladyfingers (you can also use store-bought or use traditional graham crackers)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted over a double-boiler
- marshmallows (there’s no measurement here because I think that we can all gauge our marshmallow needs with total accuracy)
Take the ladyfingers (or whatever cookie you choose) and spread a thin layer of white chocolate on both sides. It’s best to NOT do what I did and let the chocolate cool and harden a little bit – the consistency will be more s’more-like and not quite so gooey. When the chocolate hardens, toast the marshmallows over a flame or a stove burner turned on high. Toast to desired toastiness and then smoosh between two of the chocolate-covered cookies. Eat to your heart’s content!
College – the age of burned muffins, Ramen for breakfast lunch and dinner, and toasting marshmallows over a stove burner. Those were the days!
a highly creative desert… i m gonna try this next week end…
Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do when you need something sweet. And you know what? When I was a little kid? My mom used to do the same thing in a pinch.
S’mores are among my top 5 favorite things ever. These are no exception.
Glad I’m not the only one who does things like this. 🙂 And I definitely need to attempt that roasting technique!
ughghghghg. ughghghg. Yum!
If this isnt a solution to now knowing what to do for dessert, then I dont know what is!
Ahh s’mores, the best thing about camping and such a coozy treat.
The clean freak inside of me is cringing on what would happen if one of those marshmallows fell off and onto my black stove burners… 🙂
Yes- Houston you do have a problem!
WOW! this is so creative and deilcious looking. Great idea! 🙂 I love BURNT marshmellows, hehe.
I’m really not sure how you expect me to have healthy things like oatmeal, fresh fruit, yogurt, etc. for breakfast when you post stuff like this first thing in the morning. Oh my do these look delicious…
Yes please!
Yuuum!! Perfect dessert.
1. A night without dessert is DEFINITELY a problem.
2. I love you. Even if you do make me want chocolate before 10 am. In fact – even more reason to love you. 😉
Yum!
I had NO idea you can toast them over an electric burner!
Im so excited . . . im one of the unlucky ones with an electric stove too.
😀
Awesome idea! I don’t care how it’s done, roasted marshmallows always taste delicious!
this is everything I could dream of….just put a dab of peanut butter on there and there’s no telling how many I’ll eat! 🙂 love you!
So creative! I’ve never roasted marshmallows on the stove before, but I have a feeling I will be trying this soon 🙂
Now that’s getting creative! Love this. White chocolate, marshmallows, and lady fingers…oh my!
