Introduction

Experience a Canadian twist on classic s’mores with this Grilled Butter Tart S’mores recipe. Caramelized butter tart filling, melted chocolate, and a crisp grilled pastry crust come together for a deliciously gooey campfire treat, all made perfectly on the Arteflame grill.

Ingredients

• 1 package of pre-made pie crust
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup chocolate squares
• 1 cup marshmallows
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood on top of the oiled napkins.
3. Light the napkins and allow the fire to build for about 20 minutes until the Arteflame grill is hot and ready for grilling.

Step 2: Prepare the pastry crust

1. Roll out the pre-made pie crust.
2. Use a cookie cutter to cut circles that are slightly larger than graham crackers.
3. Place the pastry circles directly on the flat cooktop of the Arteflame over medium heat.
4. Cook until golden brown on one side, then flip and repeat.

Step 3: Make the butter tart filling

1. In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, brown sugar, maple syrup, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and salt.
2. Place a dollop of the butter tart filling onto the griddle.
3. Cook the filling until it starts to caramelize, then gently scoop it up with a spatula.

Step 4: Assemble the s’mores

1. Place a grilled pastry disk on a plate.
2. Top with a piece of chocolate and a scoop of caramelized butter tart filling.
3. Add a roasted marshmallow (grill the marshmallow on the flat top until lightly charred).
4. Sprinkle with chopped pecans if desired.
5. Top with a second pastry disk and press gently to sandwich everything together.

Step 5: Serve and enjoy

1. Allow the s’mores to cool slightly before serving.
2. Serve warm and enjoy the gooey, Canadian-inspired treat.

Tips

• Cook the butter tart filling in small batches to ensure optimal caramelization.
• Use high-quality chocolate for the best melt-in-your-mouth experience.
• Grill the marshmallows slightly longer for a deeper smoky flavor.
• For extra crunch, brush the pastry with butter before grilling.

Variations

1. Maple Pecan Delight: Add extra toasted pecans and an extra drizzle of maple syrup.
2. Chocolate Lover’s Dream: Use dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate for richer flavor.
3. Salted Caramel Twist: Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the butter tart filling.
4. Berry Bliss: Add fresh raspberries or blueberries for a fruity contrast.
5. Nut-Free: Omit pecans and replace with crushed graham crackers for added texture.
