S'mores Ice Cream

By Sydney Hill

S'mores are good. Ice cream is good. Why not combine them? Brilliant! I tried this and l-o-v-e-d it. The sad story is I could have been enjoying this long before. I got an ice cream maker a few years ago and just barely used it. For the first time... oops. Well, now I know how to use it and can keep trying more things to love!

I just got it from the recipe book that came with my Cuisinart maker, so I'll type it up exactly how it is written. However, if you have a different ice cream maker, feel free to adapt it to that.

Also, lowfat milk can be substituted for the cream, it just may affect the consistency and richness of flavor. I used skim instead of whole milk and whipping cream instead of heavy cream, and it was still so rich and good.


S'mores Ice Cream


Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, sifted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 pinch salt
2/3 cup whole milk
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup marshmallow creme
2 full graham crackers sheets, crushed
2 ounces milk chocolate chips (1/3 cup chips), melted and reserved at room temperature


Directions:
In medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugars and salt. Add the milk and, using a hand mixer on low speed or a whisk, beat to combine until the cocoa and sugars are dissolved. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate 1 to 2 hours, or overnight.

Turn on the Cuisinart ice cream maker; pour the mixture into the frozen freezer bowl and let mix until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. Five minutes before mixing is completed, gradually add the marshmallow cream, one spoonful at a time. Once mixed, add the crushed graham crackers and melted chocolate, one at a time, through the top and let mix in completely. The ice cream will have a soft, creamy texture. If a firmer consistency is desired, transfer the ice cream to an airtight container and place in freezer about 2 hours. Remove from freezer about 15 minutes before serving.

Tip: If marshmallow cream is too stiff, warm slightly in microwave before adding to freezer bowl.
