I have a new obsession, ice cream pies. I have always been obsessed with ice cream, but in pie form? It’s my new thing. Do I dare say that ice cream pies are better than plain old ice cream? Yes, I am saying it, way better. Two desserts in one, of course it is better! This obsession started with my Twix Ice Cream Pie. I instantly fell in love and now I can’t stop. My latest ice cream pie creation is this S’mores Ice Cream Pie. Everyone loves s’mores and ice cream during the summer months, put them together, and you have dessert perfection!
Ok, let’s talk about this S’mores Ice Cream Pie. I took all of the traditional s’mores ingredients and put them into an ice cream pie. First, I made a simple graham cracker pie crust with Annie’s Organic Honey Grahams. They are our favorite grahams and a must for summer s’mores…and S’mores Ice Cream Pie. You might not want to go back to the traditional s’mores after you taste my ice cream pie. Just saying:)
Next, I toasted mini marshmallows in the oven. Be careful with this step, the mallows will toast up really quickly. Don’t walk away from the oven or you might end up with black marshmallows and a fire! We don’t want that! After the marshmallows are toasted and cooled, stir them into softened vanilla ice cream with chocolate bar chunks and graham cracker pieces. Pour the ice cream mixture into the cooled graham cracker crust and freeze the pie!
When you are ready to serve the pie, top with additional mini marshmallows and use a culinary torch to toast the mallow on top! Again, be careful with this step, just toast the marshmallows lightly! Cut the S’mores Ice Cream Pie into slices and enjoy! You can sit by a campfire and sing Kumbaya if you want or you can eat the pie inside. It is a good outdoor or indoor dessert! And the best part? It can be made in advance! If I was serving the pie to guests, I would probably wait to add the marshmallows on top until right before serving, BUT I kept our pie in the freezer for a week and it was just fine! The marshmallows didn’t get funky at all! I had a piece every day for a week, I was just doing some quality control testing. Sometimes my job is tough:) I promise you it will be good for a week in the freezer! Are you ready for a piece of S’mores Ice Cream Pie? I scream, you scream, we ALL scream for S’mores Ice Cream Pie! And July is National Ice Cream Month and Sunday, July 19th, is National Ice Cream Day so it is time to get our ice cream on! Make this S’mores Ice Cream Pie to celebrate. And I think you can have two pieces of pie on Sunday, since it is ice cream month AND day! You HAVE to celebrate twice:) Enjoy!
