Nutella S’mores Tart
A crunchy, buttery Graham cracker tart crust is filled with chocolate-y Nutella spread and topped with a marshmallow meringue. Toast the meringue until it’s crisp and brown on the outside and meltingly gooey inside, for an elegant, no-bake take on the nostalgic s’more.

Hey guys! I’ve got another great recipe for ya today!
Yesterday’s post got a bit, ahem, wordy, so I’ll do my best to keep this one short and sweet. I think all I really need to say is “Nutella.”
I kid, I kid! But I mean it’s kinda true, right??? We all love it so much and just can’t get enough.
For today’s post I wanted to write about summer memories. I don’t really have any memories of eating Nutella when I was a kid because I’m old and we didn’t have Nutella back then. Lol! Seriously, I had never even heard of it. I think I would have thought I’d died and gone to heaven if I had permission to eat that sweet, chocolate-y, addictive spread on a whole wheat bagel for breakfast every morning, like my son does. He really does! When he wakes up in the morning and I ask him what he wants to eat it’s always the same answer: chocolate bagel. I guess he’ll grow up with fond memories of Nutella for sure!
One thing I do have a few fun memories of though is s’mores! Seriously. Is there anything better in all the land??? I really don’t think there is! Crunchy graham, fluffy marshmallow, and gooey chocolate. It’s the ultimate dessert for me.
We do s’mores a lot at my house because my husband loves to do a fire pit and the kiddos always want to toast marshmallows when he does. It’s so much fun relaxing in the back yard, watching the kids run around catching fireflies, and toasting marshmallows over the smoky fire.
This tart is a great way to recreate those memories all year ’round. And it’s no-bake (perfect for summer!) and easy-peasy to make thanks to Nutella.
It all starts with a great graham cracker crust. I always use this recipe . It’s great. The perfect ratio of graham to butter to sugar to salt. And don’t you dare leave out the salt! The filling is quite sweet so you really need it for balance. I used my rectangular tart pan but it takes the same amount of crust mixture as a regular pie crust, so I’m thinking the other quantities would probably be interchangeable as well.
Next just spread the happy. Give it a thick and generous layer of chocolate-y Nutella all over… I love the way the hazelnut complements the s’mores flavor. And you don’t have to do a thing to it, just straight up, pure Nutella, straight from the jar. It makes the most delicious filling, just as-is. 😉
And then whip up a quick marshmallow topping! This one is actually a meringue made with a hot sugar syrup to cook the egg whites. It’s super gooey and when you toast it with a brulee torch or under the broiler, it gets that lovely smoky flavor… MMMMM!
I piped it because I like to be fancy but you could just as easily spoon it on there. Try to get as many peaks as you can; they get so crisp and brown!
I also just want to mention that I’m participating in a bake sale fundraiser this week, to raise money for autism research. A batch of my favorite chocolate chip cookies, baked by yours truly, is up for auction.

Did you like to chase fireflies when you were a kid? Did you eat a lot of s’mores in the summertime? Have you ever tried one with Nutella?

Seriously amazing! You are really hitting all the right notes with the smore stuff lately.
Thanks Nicole! What can I say I am hopelessly addicted to s’mores, lol! Hope you’re having a fun week dear!
This tart is so beautiful! Almost too pretty to eat… almost 🙂 We are big on the fire pits and s’mores in the backyard as well. We’ve had a ton of people over to share and I try and have different things to serve besides just the traditional s’more each time. I made my chocolate chip cookies and added golden grahams last time (http://www.foodtasticmom.com/2014/06/14/chocolate-chip-smore-whoopie-pies/). For sure one of these times I need to make this tart!! I actually look forward to fall the most with campfires and s’mores, so really, the best times are still yet to come. Thanks for sharing. Pinned!
Thanks so much, Jill! Your s’more cookies sound fantastic. And you are so right, the fall is the best time for s’mores for sure. Thanks so much for pinning 😀 😀 😀
This looks fabulous! Thanks for linking up with What’s Cookin’ Wednesday!
My pleasure as always, Karly!
I’m planning on devoting July to s’mores on the blog and this tart would fit in wonderfully. I’ve never had a proper s’more but I love the concept. Looks delicious Allie 🙂
Oh, my dear, you must have a proper s’more! So decadent… Thank you so much for the sweet comment and I can’t wait to see what’s to come next month on Baking in Pyjamas!
Nutella + crust + marshmallows. Simple yet GENIUS! I too have no childhood nutella memories. I’m trying to spare my children from a similar fate.
Lol!!! I know, it’s tragic isn’t it? No child should have to endure that kind of deprivation ;P Thanks so much Karen!
