We are also halfway through our #BacktoSchoolRecipes event where we are sharing ideas for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks so that you are all prepared when you wake up to realize that, once again, you blinked and time flew by. I know that Fall seems far away right now but trust me it will be here before you know it.
Fall makes my yearn for S'Mores so I have been sharing some great S'Mores recipes with you this week. So far we've had Clusters that you can tuck into a lunchbox as a special treat and Cookies that are a great snack when you walk into the house famished.
Today, since we are celebrating all things Ice Cream, I decided to take S'Mores in that direction. I adapted a basic Chocolate Ice Cream recipe that came with my Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker. The recipe calls for 1 part whole milk and 2 parts heavy cream. I substituted half and half for the entire recipe and then added in the S'Mores goodies during the last few minutes of churning.
The ice cream is rich and decadent with a deep dark chocolate flavor that lingers in your mouth. Every once in a while you get the surprise of a crunch from the graham crackers interspersed with the smooth, soft chewiness of the marshmallows.
S'Mores Ice Cream
3/4 c. cocoa powder, sifted
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. brown sugar, packed
3 cups half and half
8 squares (4 sheets) of graham crackers, roughly crushed
1 1/2 c. miniature marshmallows
Sift together the cocoa and sugars bowl. Whisk in the half and half until the sugars are dissolved. Cover and refrigerate over night. Pour into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturers directions, adding the graham crackers and marshmallows during the last 5 minutes of churning. Serve immediately for soft serve or place into a container and freeze for at least 4 hours for a hand scooped serving. Print Recipe
