National S'Mores Day at Sanilac

Sanilac Medical Care Facility celebrated National S'mores Day in a non traditional way!

Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
For graham cracker layer:
 3 cups graham cracker crumbs
 1 cup butter, melted

For chocolate fudge layer:
 3 cups chocolate chips
 2 1/2 cups condensed milk

For marshmallow layer:
 3 packets gelatin
 3/4 cup warm water
 3 (7-ounce) containers marshmallow fluff

For chocolate ganache:
 3/4 cup heavy cream
 1 cup chocolate chips

For garnish:
 Marshmallow fluff
 Mini marshmallows
 Graham cracker crumbs and chunks
 Chocolate chunks


Directions
1.  Line a springform pan with parchment paper. Use a second piece of parchment paper and line the sides of the springform pan as well. Spray with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
2.  For graham cracker layer: In a bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs and butter. Take about 1/3 of the mixture and spread it evenly in the bottom of the springform pan, pressing down gently to create an even layer.
3.  For chocolate fudge layer: Then in another bowl, mix together chocolate chips and condensed milk. Microwave for 3 minutes in intervals until chocolate is melted. Stir until mixture is smooth and then pour about 1/3 of the fudge on top of the graham cracker layer.
4.  For marshmallow layer: While the fudge is setting in a bowl, bloom 1 packet of gelatin in 1/4 cup of warm water until dissolved. Then mix gelatin mixture into 1 container of marshmallow fluff until smooth. Pour marshmallow mixture over the fudge and use a spatula to spread evenly.
5.  Place the entire cake in the refrigerator for 5 minutes to set. Repeat the entire process 2 more times, being sure to refrigerate each marshmallow layer to set.
6.  Refrigerate entire cake overnight to set.
7.  For chocolate ganache: Heat heavy cream in microwave for 3 minutes or until simmering. Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes to melt the chocolate. Then stir to make the ganache. Let cool slightly until room temperature.
8.  To assemble: Remove cake from the parchment paper cover and slide onto serving platter. Pour chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting excess drip down the sides. Garnish with marshmallow fluff, mini marshmallows, toasted graham cracker chunks, and chocolate chunks. 

Enjoy!
