Homemade S'mores ice cream with fresh Graham crackers.
Recipe:
​
No-Churn S'more's ice cream
-
2 cups heavy cream
-
1 14 oz can sweetened condensed milk
-
2 tsp vanilla extract
-
2 Hershey's milk chocolate bars roughly chopped
-
1 7 oz jar of marshmallow fluff.
-
4 sheets graham crackers, crushed.
-
Loaf pan (ideal) or other deep dish for freezing.
-
Optional: Marshmallows for topping, "toast" with a kitchen torch after placing.
​
-
Using a stand or hand mixer, beat the first three ingredients together until fluffy and peaks begin to form.
-
Pour third into loaf pan, spoon third of marshmallow fluff across top, distributing even globs. Sprinkle 1/3 of chopped chocolate, and 1/3 of graham cracker crumbs across. Repeat next 1/3 of ingredients in layers, top final layer with all remaining ingredients.
-
Freeze at least 4 hours or until hard. Pull out 5 minutes before serving. Note: The marshmallow fluff will get HARD, a 5 minute thaw time is necessary and it will soften as you eat it.
​
Homemade Graham Crackers:
​
-
2 cups whole wheat or graham flour. (whole wheat is the standard name, MUST be whole wheat for the graham texture and flavor.
-
2 Tbsp milk
-
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened.
-
1 cup brown sugar
-
1/3 cup honey OR agave nectar.
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1 tsp cinnamon
-
1/4 tsp salt
​
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
In a medium bowl, cream together softened butter, sugar, milk and vanilla.
-
Gradually add the flour and mix until incorporated.
-
Add in the cinnamon, honey/agave, and salt until incorporated.
-
Dust a large cookie sheet with flour. Remove dough from bowl and roll into a ball on sheet. Roll out with a floured rolling pin or by hand.
​
Note: If you roll it thicker than the size of the sheet, your grahams will come out thicker and be like chewy "bars" rather than crackers. I did this out of impatience and it turned out to be perfect for ice cream sandwiches!
​
The sheet will shape the dough into a large rectangle, use a pastry cutter or knife to cut into four long rectangles, and across 4 times for "squares".
​
Optional: Score with a fork in two rows down each rectangle.
​
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes. Cool before serving.

My favorite quarantine dessert has been the easy 3 ingredient no-churn ice cream. It's quick and customizeable! With leftover s'mores supplies, this seemed like the perfect way to go. My favorite way was eating it as a sandwich! Enjoy!
