Why You’ll Love This Recipe

S’mores Ice Cream combines all your favorite flavors and textures of a campfire made s’mores into a creamy treat! You don’t need any campfire either!

Ingredients Needed

• Whole Milk
• Whipping Cream
• Eggs
• Sugar. Granulated sugar (the photos shows brown sugar but I found that I liked the cereal caramelized in white sugar better than the brown sugar)
• Salt
• Vanilla Extract
• Chocolate Chips
• Marshmallows. I use the mini marshmallows
• Golden Graham Cereal. You can also use regular graham crackers.

How to Make S’mores Ice Cream

• In a medium size bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until thick and pale.

• In a saucepan, heat milk and whipping cream just until it comes to a simmer and small bubbles appear around the edge of the pan. Do not allow it to come to a boil.

• Pour a cupful of the hot milk mixture into the egg mixture, stirring continuously. This is called tempering. You don’t want to cook the egg, just warm it up.
• Then pour the egg mixture into the remaining milk mixture in the pan.

• Stir mixture over low heat on the stove top until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon. Again, don’t let it come to a boil. It’s best not to walk away from this.
• It is done when you can run your finger through the middle of it and it doesn’t move.

• Place a fine mesh sieve over a bowl and pour mixture through to catch any small pieces of egg that may be there.

• Put marshmallows on a baking sheet (do not line the pan with parchment paper like I did in the picture!)

• Place under broiler and toast to desired doneness. Watch it closely.
• Add toasted marshmallows into the hot milk mixture and stir until marshmallows are dissolved. (Save a few marshmallows to garnish top of ice cream with)

• Pour mixture into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for 2-24 hours or until cooled completely through.

• Add Golden Graham cereal in a small frying pan with brown sugar and stir over medium low heat until sugar melts and totally coats the cereal.
• Remove cereal from pan onto a plate and allow to cool.

You are now ready to assemble the s’mores ice cream!

• Pour cooled milk mixture into your ice cream maker and process according to manufacturer’s directions.

• About five minutes before it is done churning melt your chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave. You want a nice drizzling consistency. If the chocolate is not thin enough add just a touch of vegetable oil.

• Pour chocolate into churning ice cream in a thin stream. If you pour too much in at one time big chunks of chocolate will form and prevent ice cream maker from churning. The chocolate will harden as it hits the ice cream and form tiny little flakes of chocolate throughout the ice cream!

• After the ice cream is done processing pour half of the ice cream mixture into your container. Add a layer of golden graham cereal.

• Adding remaining ice cream and remaining cereal. You can also add a few toasted marshmallows that you set aside. Sprinkle with a few chocolate chips too if desired.
