Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 whole crackers graham crackers
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 12 large marshmallows
Instructions
Line a clean work surface or large cutting board with parchment paper. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and rolling over with a rolling pin.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix until well combined.
In a small heatproof bowl, melt the unsalted butter in the microwave or on the stovetop. Add the milk and vanilla extract, and stir until smooth.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture is too dry, add a splash of milk one tablespoon at a time.
Place the dough onto the parchment paper and flatten into a rectangular shape, roughly 12x8 inches, using your hands or a rolling pin. Ensure the thickness is even.
Spread the shredded coconut evenly across the surface of the rectangle, leaving about a 1/2 inch border on all sides.
Place the marshmallows in a row along the longer edge of the rectangle, ensuring they form a single straight line.
Using the parchment paper to assist, carefully roll the dough tightly over the marshmallows, creating a log shape. Ensure the seam is at the bottom.
Wrap the graham cracker roll tightly in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Once chilled, remove from the refrigerator, unwrap, and slice into 1-inch thick pieces to serve. Enjoy!
