Making S’Mores Ice Cream Sandwiches

Since summer is for S’mores, I baked up some fudgy chocolate cookies and glued them together with homemade marshmallow ice cream. Making a custard based ice cream only takes a handful of minutes to cook, the rest is chilling time. You can chill the custard while you whip up the cookies. I blended marshmallow fluff into the ice cream as it came out of the ice cream maker. It incorporates a little better and no marshmallow flavor is lost.

Ingredients

For the cookies:

• Butter
• Unsweetened chocolate
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• All-purpose flour
• Baking powder
• Salt
• Large eggs
• Granulated sugar
• Vanilla extract

For the ice cream filling:

• Half and half

• Marshmallow fluff
• Graham cracker crumbs

Recipe Tips

Don’t feel like baking cookies? Use store bought!

I used Greek yogurt in this ice cream recipe. It gives the yogurt a subtle tang but keeps it light and creamy too.
