Vegan Mason Jar S’mores:
A portable campfire treat!
Crumbled nutty graham crackers, a layer of thick, dark creamy avocado pudding, more shards of grahams, a dollop of fluffy vanilla scented marshmallow fluff burnt to gooey shades of golden caramel in the broiler. Topped with broken melty squares of chocolate.
If you read my last post you’ll recognize the no-cook avocado pudding recipe from my Tropical Delight Smoothie Bowls.
Dig right in! Or cap your jars and hand out portioned S’mores in a jar at the picnic.
If I still had school aged kids I would place one of these in their lunch box on the first day of school.
“The house smelled musty and damp, and a little sweet, as if it were haunted by the ghosts of long-dead cookies.”
-Neil Gaiman, American Gods
This recipe was born from necessity and my obsession with little jars.
The plan was for good old fashioned find-a-stick and roast your marshmallows over the fire S’mores but when I got my box of graham crackers home from the market I found that almost all of them were broken.
No use crying over broken cookies.
“Make it work”

These little treats are by their very nature More-ish, actually they are S’more-ish.
I’m throwing a cook out next week, along side these S’more Jars I’m serving my Bbq Seitan Ribs in Sticky Tamarind glaze.
Smokey Red Pepper Muhammara dip.
And home made Feta Almond Cheese

Almost healthy, portable S'more jars for your next picnic or cook out. Layers of creamy dark chocolate avocado pudding, crumbled graham crackers, and brûléed marshmallow cream. A more-ish make ahead treat.
- 1 cup very ripe avocado, about two small ones
- 4 ounces chocolate melted, I prefer dark vegan chocolate
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup , let your sweet tooth decide
- 5-6 tbsp soy milk, or the non dairy milk of your choice
- 10 graham crackers
- 10 vegan marshmallows or 2 cups whipped aquafaba
- 1 bar vegan chocolate
- 4 small clean jars
- 1/2 cup aquafaba from chickpeas or white beans
- 1/4 tsp cream of tartar* OR
- 1/2 tsp Xanthum gum*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sugar white granulated
-
I over-filled my jars for the photographs but if you are capping and transporting your jars to a picnic then show some restrain in filling them. Lol.
-
Blend all of the pudding ingredients together thinning with between 5-6 tbsp of non-dairy milk to get your desired consistency.
-
Crumble your graham crackers into medium bits. I like a mixture of larger and smaller crumbs.
-
* I prefer the texture of Marshmallow Fluff (whipped aquafaba) to marshmallows. If making and eating the recipe within a couple hours then you can skip the Xanthum gum and use cream of tartar in the Aquafaba recipe.
If the S'mores jars are for much later or even the next day then use the Xanthum gum. The Xanthum gum will help keep the marshmallow fluff stable and not weepy.
Or skip the aquafaba and just use boughten marshmallows.
-
Place aquafaba in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a balloon attachment. Turn the mixer on medium for a couple of minutes until the liquid is foamy and not so sloshy. Now add the cream of tartar or the Xanthum gum and vanilla extract
-
Now turn the speed up as high as it will go and whip for as long as it takes till you get stiff glossy peaks. (7-12 minutes)
-
Slowly add the sugar 1 tablespoon at a time while still whipping. Make sure the sugar is completely incorporated and there you have a lovely marshmallowy texture. Keep whipping until you have stiff peaks.
-
Take your four small clean jars and layer a couple of tbsp of graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of each.
Now carefully (why did I write carefully?) spoon the avocado chocolate pudding between the jars.
Top with another layer of graham cracker crumbles and the top with either a couple of marshmallows or aquafaba whip.
-
Brûlée them with a torch if you are lucky enough To have one or turn the broiler (grille for Brits) in your oven to high and lightly brown the tops (about 2-3 minutes).
-
When ready to serve then plunk a few squares of chocolate into the marshmallow fluff.
Hanne, these look fabulous! You have inspired me to make something else with cookies, marshmallow fluff and chocolate!
Alison,the Brownie Queen, I am honored! Cookies, Marshmallow, fluff and chocolate. What a combo.
maammmaa mia! these jars are delectable 🙂 uhhhhhhh i wnat to grab this right from the photos
They all disappeared so fast! I need to make more!
Wow is what comes to mind. Wow. Wow. WOW!! For me personally? I love my marshmallows ON FIRE! I mean, I don’t eat them on fire, I just like to light them on fire and then eat that burnt crust with all that sweet goodness in the middle. Your pudding looks amazing!
Oh my gosh I can totally relate. It is hard to make myself put them out once they are flaming. Ha ha.
