This past weekend for Memorial Day, I tried this outrageously delicious S’mores Frozen Ice Cream Cake! While I can not take credit for this recipe , I knew when I found it on the Kraft website I was going to have to prepare it and share it with you!
If you love S’mores and ice cream then this is an absolute MUST try!
I love deserts that WOW, especially no bake or semi-bake deserts for the summer months.
This one not only looks impressive, it is sinfully good. Although it has a few steps that require a little time,it is well worth the time and effort in the end.
I think the most delectable part of this desert if the fudge that you make by melting cool whip and chocolate in the microwave. I never knew you could do this…and not only that, the combination of the two ingredients are seriously good! In my opinion, it is the fudge that makes this desert! Whatever you do, DO NOt skip this step !
I had a “little” help preparing this one … the kids really enjoyed making it with me:
-
- Pound the crackers in a ziplock to a fine crumb
-
- Melt butter and combine with graham cracker crumbs
-
- Press into 9″ spring form pan and bake until lightly brown
-
- In a bowl combine cool whip and chocolate and melt – stir at the half way mark and remove.
-
- Let chocolate mixture cool and then pour on top of the baked graham cracker crumbs
-
- Then after breaking remaining crackers squares into 1/4ths line them along the outside of the pan ( rigid side out), Try and press into chocolate without breaking.
-
- After setting the pan in the freezer for 20 minutes (or until hardened), add the softened chocolate ice cream on top. * I left my ice cream out a little too long and it was a but soupy – but did harden up* I would try and avoid that if possilble. Freeze over night.
-
- When ready to serve, melt milk and divided marshmallows in the microwave until bubbly – then remove, stir and let stand about 10 minutes.
-
- Pour melted marshmallow over the top and then add the remaining mini marshmallows. Spreading out all over. Put on a baking tray, place under broiler, 1″ away, and broil marshmallows for 1 minute.
-
- Ice cream does not melt. But do not remove pan from freezer until you are absolutely ready to pour heated marshmallow and broil the remaining whole mini marshmallows on top!!
-
- Remove and serve!
A quick side note: I did not have a 9″ spring form pan so i used 9 3/4″ pan. While it didn’t change the final taste of the product, it definitely changed the final look of the desert, and spread out the ingredients too much. The overall product should have been a little higher with more marshmallows covering the top layer. I also ended up needing more graham crackers than required to line the outside of the pan, because the surface area was bigger.
PLEASE DON’T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THE RECIPE!! Thanks!
