S’mores Ice Cream? Oh, yes!

It was Little Buddy’s idea and I have to give him all the credit. When he first asked me to make him S’mores Ice Cream, I’d planned on making it just a bit differently. Then, he walked back into the kitchen and said, “Mama, remember that in s’mores the marshmallows are toasted.”

Okay, I took that as a great starting point and got busy!

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw the photo I shared a few days ago of the pan full of toasted marshmallows.

I simply roasted them in the oven under the broiler for 3 minutes, taking care to not get on the phone or walk out of the room while they were in the oven.

As soon as they were good and toasty, I pulled them out and let them cool.

Well, I had to taste test them to make sure they were just right, so one quickly disappeared off the pan!

But what can I say?

I do it all in the name of quality control! Ha!

For the chocolate, I absolutely used the classic Hershey bar that I broke into smaller pieces. It just wouldn’t be s’mores ice cream with anything other than the classic in Little Buddy’s opinion.

However, you can use whatever chocolate you prefer.

I personally think dark chocolate would be out of this world!

Little Buddy was right on the money reminding me about roasting the marshmallows.

Boy, were they perfect!

I think I just might be creating a little foodie (at least where sweets are concerned!)

    I made this yesterday, and it’s almost gone. I made homemade chocolate graham crackers and also broiled the marshmallows (perhaps a minute too long) I used mini marshmallows and then put some coconut oil on my fingeres and broke them up into smaller pieces as the ice cream churned. The vanilla was a great base for the add-ins 🙂

  2. Does the base not need to be heated on the stove top and cooled before going in the I’ve cream maker?

    I made this recipe last night. The marshmallows were a disaster. :/ Super sticky and impossible to tear and put in the ice cream maker. Were yours not that difficult? I will say that once it was all said and done, it was quite tasty. I’m thinking of using mini marshmallows and roasting them next time. Maybe that’ll be easier since they won’t need to be torn up. ..

    My kids loved this ice cream! The base has a nice texture and is so easy to put together. I used homemade graham crackers and broke them into bits rather than crumbs. I will definitely make this again.

  5. Please tell Little Buddy that he is so right on! No recipe anywhere has any business being called s’mores anything (did I make that definitive enough!) unless the marshmallows are charred. Without that bit of burn they are simply a marshmallow/chocolate/graham treat. I think there is a law about that. 🙂
