Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 cup whole milk
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 large egg yolks
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• 1 cup graham crackers, roughly chopped
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and whole milk over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and egg yolks until well combined.
3. Slowly pour the hot cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling.
4. Pour the combined mixture back into the saucepan and place it over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
6. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
7. While the ice cream is churning, preheat your broiler. Spread the mini marshmallows in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil for about 1-2 minutes until they turn golden brown and slightly toasted. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
8. Once the ice cream has reached a soft-serve consistency, gently fold in the toasted marshmallows and chopped graham crackers.
9. Transfer the ice cream to a lidded container, drizzling melted dark chocolate between layers. Swirl the chocolate gently with a spoon to create ribbons throughout the ice cream.
10. Cover the container and freeze the ice cream for at least 4 hours or until firm.
11. Serve the Homemade S’mores Ice Cream in bowls or cones and enjoy the irresistible combination of creamy ice cream, toasted marshmallows, graham cracker chunks, and luscious chocolate swirls.
