Ingredients and Substitutions
Here are a few quick notes about the ingredients in this dessert recipe. You can see a complete list of ingredients and instructions in the recipe card below.
Chocolate chips - Vegan chocolate chips are used here to make this chocolate dip dairy-free. Semisweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate morsels work well depending on your preference. Regular dairy-based milk chocolate chips can be substituted if dairy-free is not needed.
Coconut cream - This acts as the secret ingredient for a truly smooth and creamy melty chocolate dip. Plus, it is naturally dairy-free!
Mini marshmallows - The last layer in this decadent dessert, ensure that the label notes that your marshmallows are gluten-free. To make this recipe vegan, also make sure the label is marked vegan. The Dandies brand is completely vegan and gluten-free.
Graham crackers - Instead of making a marshmallow sandwich, graham crackers are used here as dipping vessels. If using store-bought crackers, make sure the label designates them as gluten-free. This is also true to ensure they are dairy-free or vegan if necessary.
The following store-bought crunchy graham crackers are gluten-free and dairy-free:
- Kinnikinnick S'moreables
- Schar Gluten-Free Honey Grahams
- Mary's Gone Kookies
Step-by-Step Instructions
Before you start: Preheat the broiler on high.
Step 1: Add chocolate chips and coconut cream to a microwave-safe bowl—microwave two to three times at 30-second increments. Add a ¼ cup of marshmallows and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture. Stir to combine until chocolate melts completely.
Step 2: Transfer the melted chocolate mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Top with a single layer of marshmallows.
Step 3: Place the baking dish under the broiler for 30 seconds until the tops of the fluffy marshmallows are golden brown.
Step 4: Serve with gluten-free graham crackers.
Tips
- Regular-sized marshmallows or even jumbo marshmallows will puff up greatly under the broiler. This could cause quite a mess. Mini marshmallows are recommended for this recipe.
- Don't have coconut cream? Use the hardened cream from one can of full-fat coconut milk that has been refrigerated overnight.
- If storing leftovers of s'mores dip, seal with an airtight lid or plastic wrap.
- Can't find gluten-free graham crackers? Gluten-free vanilla wafer cookies work as an excellent substitute.

Well, now. This looks down right amazing! I’ll be trying this very soon. In the U.K. we have an excellent and simple biscuit called a custard cream, that can be found GF & DF and will be a superlative accompaniment to your s’mores dip. Thank you!
