S'mores Ice Cream!!

We are still as busy as ever, but we still manage to have fun! This last weekend was fall break! It was nice to have time off of school, and it was especially nice to have another day around both of our families. There is something I have been meaning to blog about for a while though ... our discovery of S'mores Ice Cream! We found the recipe online and decided to try it out! We changed the recipe up just a little bit, we turned it into ice cream sandwiches instead. Take a look!

Here's the recipe if any of you are interested:

S’mores Ice Cream (makes 1/2 quart)

1/2 package marshmallows

1 cup milk

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

1 bar Hershey’s Chocolate

3 Honeymaid Graham crackers

Place Marshmallows, cream and milk into a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mallows are melted, and the liquids blend nicely with the mallows. The texture will be thick, gooey, and wonderful. Remove from heat and let cool for only one minute, stirring occasionally to make sure the marshmallows do not cool too much, making the mixture sticky. Pour mixture into ice cream maker that has been frozen according to manufacturer’s instructions, and churn for about 30-35 minutes. While the ice cream is churning, cut chocolate into chunks about 1/4-1/2 the size of a regular s’mores piece. This is different for everyone, so choose accordingly. (This is where we just stuck the ice cream in the freezer and made sandwiches the next day.) Break graham cracker pieces inso larger pieces, you want them to stay in tact so that they will freeze well, and still resemble graham cracker pieces after the freezing process is done. After churning is completed, turn off ice cream maker, and fold in chocolate pieces and then graham cracker pieces. Be gentle when folding in the graham cracker pieces, or they will break. Of course a little break here and there is fine, but you want to have a few, good strong pieces in there; just like men in your life. :) Serve right away or store in an airtight container. If the ice cream is a bit softer than you want, it’s because the mixture was added when it was hot. So just place in the freezer for an hour or so before serving. Enjoy!

This is the picture that sold us on the ice cream! I think this is one of the most delicious treats ever! I can't wait until we get to make more. Let me know if you decide to try it!

Have a good week! I'll try to post again soon!!
