Ingredients

For the graham cracker crust:

  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the cupcakes:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

  • ½ cup whole milk

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ cup boiling water

For the ganache filling (optional):

  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • ¼ cup heavy cream

For the marshmallow frosting:

  • 4 egg whites

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tin with liners.

  2. Mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Press into liners and bake for 5 minutes.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

  4. In another bowl, mix eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Stir in boiling water.

  5. Pour batter over graham crusts (¾ full). Bake 18–22 minutes. Cool completely.

  6. Make ganache by heating cream and pouring over chocolate. Fill each cupcake center.

  7. For frosting: whisk egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar over simmering water until 160°F. Beat until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla.

  8. Pipe frosting and toast lightly with a kitchen torch.

Notes

  • Toast the frosting just before serving for the best flavor and effect.
  • Ganache can be made ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • If making the frosting in advance, use it within 2 hours for best consistency.
