Best Ice Cream Smores Cups Recipes

S'MORES CUPS

Steps:

• Put the marshmallow creme and 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream in a large chilled bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until the creme is loosened, smooth and shiny. Add the remaining 1/2 cup heavy cream to the bowl and whip to medium peaks, starting on low and then changing to medium speed.
• Put 2 tablespoons of crushed graham crackers in the bottom of each of four 9-ounce plastic tumbler cups. Top with 3 tablespoons marshmallow whipped cream, then 3 tablespoons chocolate pudding. Repeat so you have another layer of each ingredient. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• When ready to serve, place the marshmallows onto skewers. Toast the marshmallows over a hot grill (or on the stove top).
• Place a toasted marshmallow on top of each s'mores cup. Garnish each with a piece of chocolate bar and graham cracker.

S'MORES ICE CREAM

Steps:

• Freeze the ice cream bowl: Place the ice cream maker churning bowl in the freezer the day before you want to make ice cream. (Most manufacturers recommend that the churning bowl be frozen for 24 hours before making ice cream.)

S'MORES ICE CREAM BARS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square pan with cooking parchment paper, extending paper at least 1 inch over 2 opposite sides of pan. Clip excess paper to pan with binder clips. Spray paper lightly with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, stir together Crust ingredients; press in bottom of pan. Bake in center of oven 12 to 15 minutes or just until firm. Cool completely, about 15 minutes. Place in freezer.
• In small bowl, stir together cornstarch and cocoa with whisk. Beat in 1/4 cup of the milk to make a paste. Set aside.
• In 2-quart saucepan, mix remaining 1 1/4 cups milk, the cream, 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons corn syrup and the salt. Heat over medium-low heat until bubbles just begin to form around edge of pan and mixture begins to steam. Remove from heat. Beat in cornstarch-cocoa mixture with whisk until completely combined. Return to medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens enough to coat a spoon. Continue to cook and stir another minute. Remove from heat.
• Place chocolate chips in large heatproof bowl. Pour milk-cream mixture over chips. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes to melt chips; beat well with whisk to combine. Place bowl in larger bowl of ice cubes; stir mixture until completely cooled, or cover surface with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Process mixture in ice cream machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Scrape ice cream onto crust in pan. Cover; freeze at least 1 hour.
• In heatproof bowl (bowl of stand mixer works, too), stir together Topping ingredients. Place bowl over saucepan of simmering water, making sure water does not make contact with bottom of bowl. Beat constantly with whisk until sugar is dissolved and egg whites are just hot to the touch. Remove from heat. Using beaters or whisk attachment of electric mixer, beat egg white mixture until it triples in volume, becomes glossy, and holds a stiff peak. Scrape meringue onto ice cream; spread to coat evenly. Return to freezer for another hour.
• To serve, cut into 4 rows by 3 rows or 4 rows by 4 rows. Toast meringue on each bar with kitchen torch. Serve immediately.
