School’s out for the summer and it is time to think about fun summer food. S’mores always come to mind especially when I smell a fire pit roaring. I thought it might be fun to make ice cream sandwiches that taste like a S’more. I layered graham crackers with marshmallows, toasted them under the broiler, added a scoop of ice cream, topped them with another graham cracker and dipped them in chocolate ganache. For fun I dipped some in assorted sprinkles and a few in crushed salted cashews. These are so easy to make and just the thing for a warm summer night. You can make these ahead and have them ready in the freezer. Especially nice since we are not as likely to venture out as much as we used to and staying home more than we are accustomed to!
S’Mores Ice Cream Sandwiches Dipped in Chocolate Ganache
Ingredients
- 16 2 1/2 inch squares honey graham crackers
- 80 mini marshmallows
- 14 oz ice cream (I used assorted flavors of Haagen-Dazs ice cream)
- 8 oz milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- assorted sprinkles
Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet that will fit in your freezer with foil. Place 8 graham cracker squares on the baking sheet. Place 10 mini marshmallows on each square. Place under the broiler and watch carefully until the marshmallows become golden brown. Remove from the broiler and cool. Remove the ice cream from the freezer and let it soften a bit to make it easier to scoop. Place one scoop of ice cream on each cracker that has the toasted marshmallows on them. Top each scoop with the top cracker. Place in the freezer until the sandwich is frozen and firm. After the sandwiches are frozen – combine the chocolate chips and cream in a microwaveable dish that is large enough to dip the sandwiches in. I used a 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir, microwave for 15 seconds and stir until thick and smooth. Cool slightly. Assembly – have everything prepared because you will need to work quickly. Quickly dip each sandwich in the chocolate ganache, sprinkle with toppings if desired, place on the baking sheet. Return the baking sheet in the freezer. Freeze several hours until hard. Wrap each sandwich individually.
We just made smores last weekend and I forgot how good they were. Your version is for sure a step up from that! Would love to have you add this recipe to my Meatless Monday linkup next week!
