    Hola, my lovely internet friends!!!

    After a ton of silence on my end, I am BACK and with something that is, quite frankly, the most exciting news EVER!! You see, this week is the official start of summer and to celebrate, I am hosting a little something I am calling Ice Cream Week! I am obsessed with ice cream and what better way to bring on the heat than with an ice cream cone? Ammiright? Joining me are a few of my favorite blogger friends who will also be sharing recipes during the week.

    But that's not all. Oh no, that's not all. (Do I sound like I belong on an informercial or car sales lot yet?!)  I've also joined up with some of my favorite brands in the world to give you a super sweet ice cream prize package. What what! I don't know if you can tell, but I am just bursting with excitement! In the prize you will be getting a brand new ice cream maker, courtesy of Cuisinart; my favorite ice cream scoop from Zeroll; some baking ingredients from Rodelle; and a bunch of goodies including ice cream containers, an ice cream scoop, and popsicle molds from my good friends at Tovolo! I am also sending you one of my favorite ice cream cookbooks, Sweet Cream and Sugar Cones annnnddd maybe one or two extra surprise goodies. Yay!!!

    This s'mores ice cream is literally everything you will want this summer.

    Okay, so now I finally got that all out, let's take a look at my first Ice Cream Week recipe! S'mores are kind of my thing and so I couldn't think of a better scoop to use to celebrate than this s'mores ice cream. Graham crackers were always my favorite part of s'mores so we start with a graham cracker pie crust infused ice cream base. To it, we add delicious melty chocolate and lots of roasted marshmallows. And I mean lots of roasted marshmallows. Because those are the b.e.s.t.

    I used the Philadelphia style to make this ice cream because the cream cheese just works so well here. It gives it a bit of a cheesecake feel and who doesn't want a s'mores cheesecake ice cream in their life?!

    Graham cracker infused ice cream with swirls of chocolate and tons of roasted marshmallows. This s'mores ice cream has it all.

    So let's get out of our seats and scream for #icecreamweek and make this s'mores ice cream now! Don't forget to check out all the other ice cream recipes below and enter in the giveaway!!!

    Servings 12 servings
    Calories 234 kcal

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 9- inch graham cracker pie crust
    • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
    • 2 ¼ cups whole milk divided
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • ⅔ cups granulated sugar
    • 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
    • 1½ tablespoon cornstarch
    • 4 tablespoons full-fat cream cheese room temperature
    • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

    For the Chocolate Swirl

    • 5 oz dark chocolate*
    • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat the oven to 300F.
    • Bake the graham cracker pie crust about 10 - 15 minutes. Take out and allow to cool completely.
    • While the crust is baking, roast your marshmallows using a kitchen torch, getting as many of the sides as possible and getting them nice and burnt. Allow to cool completely.
    • Place the crust (minus the container it is in) into a large saucepan and add all the milk except 2 tablespoons. Simmer on medium-low for about 20 minutes. Add the heavy cream and stir well.
    • Strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer lined with cheesecloth. Press down on the mixture to get as much of the milk and cream out as possible. It's okay if some of the graham cracker remains end up in the mixture, but keep it to a minimum or else the ice cream will be grainy.
    • Turn up the heat to medium. Add the sugar and corn syrup and mix well.
    • Take the remaining milk and add it to the cornstarch and mix well to create a slurry. Mix the cream cheese with the salt.
    • Add both the slurry and salted cream cheese into the milk mixture and mix well. Heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes nice and thickened. The final mixture will be thicker than your typical ice cream base.
    • Place the ice cream base into a gallon freezer bag and store in the refrigerator until it is very cold, at least 40F. I usually leave mine overnight.
    • While it is chillding, mix together your chocolate and cream and heat on medium and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and combined well with the heavy cream. Set aside to cool.
    • Churn according to your ice cream maker's instructions (read my guice on how to make ice cream without an ice cream maker here). Add a thin layer of ice cream on the bottom of your ice cream container. Add a swirl of chocolate and then the roasted marshmallow. Continue layering the ice cream with the chocolate and the marshmallows until you run out of everything.
    • Freeze until firm, at least 3- 4 hours.

    Notes

    *I highly recommend using dark or semi-sweet chocolate. Even if you are not a fan of darker chocolate. The ice cream base is quite sweet, so the contrast of the darker chocolate works better than a sweet milk chocolate.
