Ingredients
For the chocolate custard:
- 1½ cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon table salt

Instructions
For the chocolate custard:
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring the cream, milk, sugar and salt to a simmer. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks.
- Temper the egg yolks by slowly whisking in half of the cream mixture into the egg yolks in a thin, steady stream. Whisk the tempered mixture back into the remaining cream mixture.
- Return the pot to the heat and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove the pot from heat and whisk in the chocolate until it is entirely combined, about 5 minutes.
- Pour about 3 tablespoons of the graham cracker crumbs into each of the cups or ramekins. Divide the custard among the cups then cover and refrigerate until the custard has set, about 2 hours.
For serving:
- Use a kitchen torch to quickly torch the top of the meringue cookies to add a smokey s'mores flavor (optional).
- Top with the remaining graham cracker crumbs, and meringues. Serve chilled.
