Servings: 24 servings
Calories: 67kcal
Ingredients
- 160 g vegan cookies of choice I used 14 cookies (GF digestives, graham crackers, etc., see note 1)
- 30 g 2 heaped tablespoons plant-based butter
- 70 g vegan chocolate 12 squares, chopped (see note 2)
- 2 1/4 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk or a milk of your choice
- 12 jumbo marshmallows halved (see note 3)
Instructions
- Turn the oven on to 180°C/356°F, and then add mini cupcake wrappers to a mini cupcake tray.
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces, like small chocolate chips.
- Pound and roll the cookies in a sealed ziplock bag with a rolling pin (or wine bottle) until they are finely crushed. You could also use a food processor.
- Melt the butter using either a pot on the stove or the microwave in bursts of 10 seconds.
- Add the butter and crushed cookies to a mixing bowl and mix.
- Add the chocolate and unsweetened almond milk and mix well.
- Scoop the mixture into the prepared cupcake wrappers, filling up to about halfway or a little over.
- Push the middle of each cookie down a little to form a small well/dent.
- Bake for 13 minutes.
- While the cookie cups are baking, slice the jumbo marshmallows in half so that you have 24 small cylinders (not semi-circles).
- Remove cookie cups from the oven and press the middles down a bit more if needed, taking care not to burn yourself. You may need to wait a few minutes to do this.
- Place a 1/2 marshmallow on each cookie cup.
- Broil for 5 minutes or until the marshmallows turn golden brown. Watch them or they'll burn!
- Turn the oven off and leave the Vegan S'mores in the oven for 5 more minutes.
- Remove, cool, & serve!
Notes
- Cookies: You can use any kind of cookies you like! Even vegan chocolate chip cookies, and then you can skip the chocolate (or add extra). Biscoff is a great alternative. Annies Gluten-free bunny grahams are vegan too.
- Chocolate: Luckily, these days there are plenty of dairy-free chocolate options for vegans and also people who have lactose intolerance. I used, cheap and cheerful, Tesco’s Free From chocolate bar, but really any bar or dairy-free chocolate chips will work. I’d probably stick to plain, milk, or dark, but if you want to try something fun like salted caramel, be my guest!
- Marshmallows: You could also use mini vegan marshmallows. Just place a few on top and follow the recipe as it is. See the full post for marshmallow brands.
