Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk together until smooth and well incorporated.
- Add vanilla extract to the cream mixture and stir gently to distribute the flavor evenly.
- Fold in half of the crushed graham crackers, ensuring they are distributed throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle in chocolate chips, stirring carefully to prevent them from clumping together.
- Gently fold in mini marshmallows, reserving some for topping later.
- Transfer the mixture to a freezer-safe container, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumbs and marshmallows on top of the mixture.
- Cover the container with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid.
- Place in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until the ice cream is firm.
- Before serving, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften slightly for easy scooping.
- Serve in chilled bowls and enjoy your homemade S'mores Ice Cream!
Tips
- Use cold heavy cream for the best whipping consistency and smoothest texture.
- Make sure to fold ingredients gently to maintain air in the mixture, which helps create a lighter ice cream.
- For extra indulgence, toast some marshmallows before adding them to create a more authentic campfire flavor.
- If you don't have an ice cream maker, this no-churn method works perfectly.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of standard chocolate chips.
- Store the ice cream in an airtight container to prevent ice crystals from forming.
- For best scooping, let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before serving.
