Ingredients
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1.5 quarts chocolate ice cream, softened
- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for topping)
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (for topping)
- 1/4 cup hot fudge sauce (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until the crumbs are well coated. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or a deep pie dish. Freeze the crust for 10-15 minutes to set.
- Layer the ice cream: Spread the softened chocolate ice cream evenly over the graham cracker crust. Smooth the top and place it in the freezer for at least 1-2 hours, or until the ice cream is firm.
- Add the marshmallow layer: Once the ice cream is firm, spread a generous layer of marshmallow fluff over the top of the ice cream. For an extra toasty effect, use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the marshmallow fluff.
- Top and freeze: Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips over the marshmallow layer. Drizzle with hot fudge sauce if desired. Place the cake back in the freezer for at least 2-3 hours or until fully set.
- Serve: Remove the cake from the freezer and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Use a sharp knife to cut through the layers and serve immediately.
This S’mores Ice Cream Cake is the perfect blend of campfire fun and frozen indulgence, making it a show-stopping dessert for any summer gathering!
