S’mores Ice Cream

Putting an Ice Cream twist on the ever-nostalgic S’mores, led to what my wife called “the BEST ice cream she’s ever had!” I have to say it was pretty fun to make too! It has all the traditional flavors of S’mores—graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallow goodness and more—but it’s an all new twist that makes it even more special and delicious.

Hope you enjoy my take on S’mores Ice Cream!

Start by heating a small sauce pan to medium-high heat. Add 2 cups of cream…

…1/2 cup of sugar…

…1 fresh vanilla bean or 2 tsp vanilla extract…

…and the graham crackers.

Whisk together and bring to a simmer

Temper the 2  egg yolks with the hot graham cracker cream.

Add a little cream at a time, gently mixing the whole while..

 Whisk the tempered eggs back into the sauce pan…

…and bring the cream back to a light simmer.

Then remove from the heat.

Strain ice cream base. Give the mixture a good whisk.

Cool cream to approximately 34-40°F. Cover in plastic and refrigerate to continue cooling.

Once cool, add the ice cream base to your handy dandy ice cream machine…

…and wait for it to do its magic.

Once it’s done, put it into the freezer to set up. About an hour or 2 should be good.

Remove the graham cracker ice cream from the freezer and add two scoops to a hard surface.

Add graham crackers…

…chopped dark chocolate…

…mini marshmallows…

…and roughly mix together.

After combining ingredients…

…scoop S’mores Ice Cream into a serving dish and it’s ready to enjoy!

If you want to go over the top, add a few dollops of whipped marshmallow…

…and quickly torch the tops for that campfire look.

Add a sprinkle of crushed graham cracker…

 …and ENJOY!
