Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla Recipe
Introduction
Enjoy a delightful twist on a classic campfire treat with this Homemade Blackstone S’mores Quesadilla. It combines melty chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and crunchy graham crackers all wrapped in a warm, crispy tortilla. Perfect for a quick dessert or a fun snack anytime.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed, about 8-10 crackers)
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate pieces (such as Ghirardelli chocolate chips)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, adds sweetness and presentation)
- Butter for greasing (softened, about 2 tbsp)
- 1 cup small marshmallows (fresh, not stale, for better melting)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare Your Mise en Place and Heat the Griddle
Crush your graham crackers into fine, even crumbs. Measure out your marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and have the softened butter ready. Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low temperature to ensure gentle melting without burning. - Step 2: Butter and Layer the Tortillas with Filling
Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place the first tortilla buttered-side down on the hot griddle. Quickly sprinkle the marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and graham cracker crumbs evenly over the non-buttered side. Top with the second tortilla, buttered side up. - Step 3: Cook and Flip Until Golden and Melted
Let the quesadilla cook for 2-3 minutes without moving it, until the bottom is golden and slightly crispy. Carefully flip it using a spatula and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling starts to ooze from the edges. Adjust heat if you hear a loud sizzle to avoid burning. - Step 4: Cool and Slice Into Wedges
Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and let it cool for 1 minute to allow the filling to set slightly. Slice into triangular wedges with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired for extra sweetness and presentation.
Tips & Variations
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best melting results; stale marshmallows do not melt as well.
- Try adding a pinch of cinnamon to the graham cracker crumbs for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Swap milk chocolate for dark or white chocolate chips to vary the taste.
- For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts inside before cooking.
Storage
Store leftover s’mores quesadillas in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one day. For best texture, reheat gently on a griddle or in a skillet over low heat to melt the filling again without burning the tortilla. Avoid microwaving as it can make the tortilla soggy.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I make this recipe gluten-free?
Yes, simply substitute the wheat tortillas with gluten-free tortillas and ensure the graham crackers used are gluten-free. The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free.
What’s the best way to prevent the quesadilla from burning?
Cook over medium-low heat and watch for a gentle sizzle rather than a loud one. This allows the filling to melt evenly while the tortilla crisps slowly without burning.

- Total Time: 16 minutes
- Yield: 1 quesadilla (4 wedges) 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Method: Griddling
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Filling
- 1 cup small marshmallows (fresh, not stale)
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate pieces (Ghirardelli chocolate chips recommended)
- 1/2 cup crushed graham cracker crumbs (finely crushed, about 8–10 crackers)
Tortillas
- 2 large wheat tortillas (soft and pliable for folding)
Other
- About 2 tbsp softened butter (for greasing tortillas)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional, for added sweetness and presentation)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Mise en Place and Heat the Griddle: Gather and measure all filling ingredients—marshmallows, milk chocolate pieces, and finely crushed graham cracker crumbs. Soften your butter for spreading. Heat your Blackstone griddle to medium-low temperature to ensure even cooking without burning.
- Butter and Layer the Tortillas with Filling: Spread a thin, even layer of softened butter on one side of each tortilla. Place one tortilla, buttered side down, onto the hot griddle. Quickly sprinkle the marshmallows, chocolate pieces, and graham cracker crumbs evenly over the non-buttered side. Top with the second tortilla, buttered side up, to create a sandwich.
- Cook and Flip Until Golden and Melted: Cook the quesadilla for 2-3 minutes without moving it until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and slightly crispy. Using a spatula, carefully flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden and the filling starts to ooze out slightly. Listen for a gentle sizzle and adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.
- Cool and Slice Into Wedges: Remove the quesadilla from the griddle and transfer it to a cutting board. Let it cool for about 1 minute to allow the melted filling to set slightly but remain gooey. Slice into triangular wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use fresh marshmallows for best melting results; stale marshmallows will not melt properly.
- Adjust the heat on the griddle to medium-low to prevent burning the tortilla before the filling melts.
- Softened butter spreads more easily and helps create a crispy, golden exterior.
- The powdered sugar dusting is optional but adds a lovely sweet touch and enhances presentation.
- Serve immediately after slicing for best gooey texture.
