S’mores Ice Cream

June 17, 2015

Putting an Ice Cream twist on the ever-nostalgic S’mores, led to what my wife called “the BEST ice cream she’s ever had!” I have to say it was pretty fun to make too! It has all the traditional flavors of S’mores—graham crackers, chocolate, marshmallow goodness and more—but it’s an all new twist that makes it even more special and delicious.

Hope you enjoy my take on S’mores Ice Cream!
