Ice Cream! S'mores Ice Cream

We had some friends over for dinner a couple of weeks ago.  My friend brought homemade ice cream with toasted coconut, banana and pineapple.  Delish!   I hinted very strongly about wanting an ice cream maker.  Luckily my birthday was right around the corner.  We broke in the new ice cream maker the other night and it was delicious.  This could be a very bad habit, but it will be super fun to experiment. I hope to post a lot of yummy experiments.  Please feel free to comment and add some of your own.  This is a recipe that came with my ice cream maker and it  was very chocolaty.  Next time I would leave out the melted chocolate.  If you do add it, add it in very small amounts.  Once it hits the cold ice cream it clumps up.  Also, make sure to chill your blade and I chilled the graham crackers too.  The melted chocolate should be at room temp and same with the fluff.  As per the instructions, freeze your freezer bowl overnight.

This is going to be a delicious summer!  Enjoy!

S'mores Ice Cream


1/2 c cocoa powder, sifted
1/3 c granulated sugar
1/4 c packed dark brown sugar
pinch salt
2/3 c whole milk
1 1/2 c heavy cream
1 tsp pure vanila extract
3/4 c marshmallow cream (Fluff)
2 Full graham cracker sheets, crushed
2 oz. milk chocolate (1/3) chips). melted and at room temperature (this I would leave out next time)

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the cocoa, sugars and salt.  Add the milk and with a mixer, beat to combine until the cocoa and sugars are dissolved.  Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla.  cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours or overnight.

2. Turn on ice cream maker.  Pour in the mixture and let mix until thickened, about 15-20 min.  Five minutes before mixing is complete, gradually add the marshmallow cream.  Once mixed, gradually add crushed graham cracker and melted chocolate and let mix.  The ice cream will have a soft creamy texture.  If firmer ice cream is desired, place in an air tight container and freeze for about 2 hours.

You can serve with additional crushed graham crackers.   Instead of adding the melted chocolate, just top with chocolate syrup.
