Strawberry S’mores Bites Recipe — No-Bake Summer Treat

Strawberry season is in full swing, and I’m keeping my refrigerator stocked until it ends. Expect a handful of strawberry recipes coming your way, including this one.

Today’s recipe is simple and crowd-pleasing: Strawberry S’mores Bites. They’re perfect for entertaining—easy to prepare and always impressive. The combination of toasted marshmallow frosting and chocolate-dipped strawberries is hard to beat.

I made several batches of these as thank-you treats for friends and family who helped Matt and me when the baby arrived. I wish I could send one to every person who left kind messages on the blog and social media—your support means so much.

Strawberry S’mores

Yield:
14-16 Strawberry Bites

Ingredients

14-16 medium strawberries, hulled
4 oz. chocolate (I used 65% cacao)
1 1/2 teaspoon shortening
4 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
Marshmallow frosting:
2 egg whites
1/2 cup sugar

Instructions

Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second bursts, stirring between each, until fully melted.
Dip the hulled strawberries into the melted chocolate, then roll them in graham cracker crumbs. Arrange the dipped strawberries on the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set.
To make the marshmallow frosting: Combine egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water. Whisk constantly until the mixture reaches 160°F. Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment and beat on medium-high until the mixture cools, doubles in volume, and forms stiff peaks (about 10–12 minutes). Transfer the marshmallow frosting to a pastry bag fitted with a star tip and pipe into the hulled centers of the strawberries. Use a kitchen torch to briefly toast the frosting.

Notes

Notes:

To hull strawberries, use a small huller or a paring knife to remove the stem and core.
You may have extra marshmallow frosting depending on how much you pipe into each berry.
If you don’t own a kitchen torch, a brief turn under a very hot broiler can toast the frosting—watch closely to avoid burning.
