When I asked for requests, I never imagined it would be something like this. Meg, thank you for making my brain hurt - I have never even considered dessert burgers as a food option, so this put me firmly outside my comfort zone! (I don't even flinch at dessert pizza though - must remember to share that one at a later date!)
One question played on my mind for some time: what defines a burger? I decided, on my own authority, that it had to be stuff in a bun. Preferably layers of stuff, and preferably a bread-based bun.
The other thing that leapt to mind was size. If this burger was going to be dessert, it couldn't be full-size. I like my desserts small, and of course sweet.
With those important points out of the way, the rest materialised pretty quickly: this is my S'more Slider.
I made small, soft, sweet bread rolls (a cinnamon tea cake recipe, these are about 20g each - or two mouthfuls) and added a dark chocolate ganache "pattie", toasted marshmallows, and jam (a burger needs sauce!)
..and I have to say, it was delicious!

That is awesome. Go Jan! :) While the exercise wasn't high class gourmet by any means, I had fun doing mine. I'm currently on holiday but will post a link to my Black Forest dessert burger when I get back to a proper computer. Unless Nicola beats me to it (hint Nicola - the one from my FB).
