Instructions
Making the Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F and line a cupcake tin with 16 liners.
- In a small bowl, mix together graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Press about 1 to 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner. Bake for 6 minutes, then let cool.
Preparing the Cupcakes:
- In a large bowl, combine cocoa powder, sugar, flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add in the oil, milk, beaten eggs, and vanilla. Mix with an electric hand mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is thin. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners (about 3/4 full).
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan, then remove the centers of each cupcake.
Making the Marshmallow Filling:
- In a heat-proof bowl over simmering water, whisk together egg whites, sugar, and cream of tartar until sugar dissolves.
- Continue whisking until the mixture is warm, then remove from heat and beat until stiff peaks form. Add vanilla and mix.
- Transfer the filling to a piping bag or plastic bag with a corner cut. Fill each cupcake center with the marshmallow filling.
Creating the Ganache:
- In a saucepan over low heat, melt the chopped milk chocolate with vegetable oil until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in cold heavy whipping cream until combined.
- Spoon the ganache onto the cupcakes and refrigerate briefly to set.
