This Frozen S’mores recipe is a delightful twist on the classic campfire treat, combining toasted mini marshmallows, rich cream cheese ice cream, bittersweet chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers into a creamy, chilled dessert perfect for warm weather or any time you crave a nostalgic, cool treat. The recipe involves broiling marshmallows to golden perfection, whipping up an indulgent ice cream base, and assembling sandwiches that freeze to a firm, luscious consistency.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes plus freezing time
  • Yield: 9 servings

Ingredients

Marshmallow & Topping

  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 4 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate baking bar, chopped
  • 9 sheets (18 squares) graham crackers

Ice Cream Base

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
  • 3 ounces sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 1/2 ounces full-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch fine sea salt

Instructions

  1. Toast Marshmallows: Preheat your oven’s broiler on low and place an oven rack near the top. Spread mini marshmallows evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Broil them closely for about 30 seconds until they turn golden and toasted. Remove and allow them to cool.
  2. Prepare Ice Cream Pan: Line an 8×8-inch pan with aluminum foil followed by plastic wrap, ensuring an easy removal later. Set aside.
  3. Whip Cream: In a large mixing bowl, whip chilled heavy cream with an electric mixer until still peaks form. Set the whipped cream aside.
  4. Mix Ice Cream Base: In a separate bowl, beat together sweetened condensed milk, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until smooth and fully blended.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Stir one-quarter of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to lighten it, then gently fold in the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated and smooth.
  6. Fold in Toasted Marshmallows: Carefully fold the cooled toasted marshmallows into the ice cream mixture, distributing them evenly.
  7. Freeze Ice Cream: Spread the ice cream mixture evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Freeze for 4 to 6 hours or until firm.
  8. Melt Chocolate: Using a double boiler or microwave (in short bursts), melt the chopped bittersweet chocolate until smooth and glossy.
  9. Chocolate Graham Base: Place 9 graham cracker squares on a baking sheet, bottom side up, and spread each with melted chocolate.
  10. Cut Ice Cream: Lift the frozen ice cream from the pan using the foil and plastic wrap. Place on a cutting board and carefully cut into 9 squares matching the graham cracker size.
  11. Assemble Sandwiches: Place ice cream squares atop the chocolate-coated graham crackers. Spread melted chocolate onto the remaining 9 graham crackers and place them chocolate side down over the ice cream to form sandwiches.
  12. Freeze Sandwiches: Place assembled ice cream sandwiches in the freezer for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

  • Watch marshmallows carefully while broiling to prevent burning, as they toast quickly.
  • Room temperature cream cheese ensures smooth blending without lumps.
  • Use an electric mixer to achieve the perfect whipped cream stiffness.
  • To melt chocolate evenly, use gentle heat and stir frequently.
  • The sandwiches can be stored in the freezer for up to a week; wrap individually to prevent freezer burn.
  • If desired, substitute bittersweet chocolate with semisweet or milk chocolate to suit your sweetness preference.
