This coming weekend we are heading up to the cabin for a little family getaway. The cabin, well, I’ll be honest, it’s not for me. I’m not exactly the rustic type, and the cabin, and way of life up there is pretty rustic – but I do know that I love s’more tarts up there!
A side story: I learned on an episode of Dax Shepherd’s Armchair Expert podcast how similar I am to Jason Bateman. I was so appreciative to hear him say what I always thought.
“I am of the mindset that if I’m going on holiday somewhere, I would ideally like it to be nicer than my home, otherwise what is the point?!” I’m paraphrasing Bateman, but we are entirely aligned with this. Plus, his least favorite smell is mildew. Amen, Jason. We are meant to be BFFs.
Anyways, the cabin is older. I got yelled at once for being in the shower for less than one minute while I got my body wet. I turn off the water to could lather my soap, wash my hair, etc. and turn it back on to rinse. I also take an under 2-minute shower there. Less than everyone else, and I still got scolded. So I’ve resorted to showering in the ocean. What happens when you do that?! That’s right; you’re not clean.
The beach is lovely up there, and the cocktails are fresh (made by yours truly).
But, anyway, I’m going for my husband and my daughter. They will enjoy themselves. I will be present. LOL.
All of this to say: doesn’t going to a cabin or camping always remind you of making s’mores as a kid?! That nostalgia of roasting your marshmallow on the fire; or more like having to blow out the flaming marshmallow swiftly is something I think everyone remembers about outdoor living.

So getting ready to get up to the cabin had me craving s’mores. But a few problems at home, we have no firepit and no marshmallow roasting sticks… So I resorted to my non-rustic kitchen, which resulted in the creation of these s’more tarts.
My Aunt is visiting us and is vegan, and I’m gluten free. The end result = vegan and gluten free s’more tarts.
These vegan gluten free s’more tarts turned out incredibly delicious, and you’d never know there were dietary restrictions involved.
Also, the chocolate filling of the tart will likely be its own blog post as it’s freaking DELICIOUS.
These are no-bake and pretty straightforward to make at home. You need a blowtorch (to get your marshmallows toasted), but could probably pop them into the oven on broil. Just don’t melt the crap out of your chocolate filling.
Vegan, Gluten Free S’more Tarts
Makes 4 Mini Tarts
Ingredients
Graham Cracker Crust
+ 150 g gluten free graham crackers
+ 1 Tbsp, vegan butter (I used melt), melted
+ 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Chocolate Filling
+ 200 g semi-sweet chocolate (ensure no milk ingredients)
+ 1 can full fat coconut milk * refrigerated for an hour or more before making this
Marshmallow Toppings
+ 2 cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
1. In a food processor, combine gluten free graham crackers, and pulse until powdery. Add melted butter and sugar. Pulse until combined.
2. Take four, four-inch tart pans and evenly distribute crust to each pan—pat down flat and into the crevasses with your fingers. Place in the fridge while you complete the next step.
3. Melt your chocolate chips using a double boiler or the microwave. Let cool to room temp (but not harden).
4. Once your chocolate is cooled, take out the hardened part of the coconut milk and add it to the chocolate. Using a hand mixer, mix until well combined. This will be thick. Slowly start adding the remaining liquid from the coconut milk while mixing. Stop once your filling has reached a smooth and creamy consistency (approximately half of the liquid).
5. Evenly distribute the chocolate filling to each tart pan and smooth out. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes.
6. Pull out tarts and spread the desired amount of marshmallows over the top. Using a blow torch, torch your marshmallows like you’re at a campfire. If you don’t have a blow torch, you could try broiling the marshmallows. Keep a close eye on them and don’t let them burn.
7. If your blow torch or oven melted your chocolate, pop in back in the fridge until it has structure again.
8. Remove the outside of the tart pan and enjoy!!!
