Ingredients
Cookie Dough Components
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Ice Cream Base (if homemade)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
S’mores Elements
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate chunks or bars
Instructions
Preparing the Cookie Dough
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually incorporate the flour until just combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips (and mini marshmallows, if desired).
- Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to chill.
Crafting the Ice Cream Base and Folding
- Choose your ice cream flavor (store-bought or homemade) and take it out of the freezer to soften for a few minutes.
- Fold in chunks of your chilled cookie dough and crushed graham crackers into the softened ice cream.
Assembling the Roll
- On a large piece of parchment paper, spread out your ice cream mixture into a rectangle, about half an inch thick.
- Sprinkle some extra chocolate chips and mini marshmallows on top.
- Using the parchment paper, carefully lift one edge and start rolling the ice cream tightly.
- Once rolled, wrap it tightly in the parchment paper and place it in the freezer.
Freezing and Serving
- Let your roll freeze for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to ensure it is firm.
- When ready to serve, take the roll out and let it sit for a few minutes to make slicing easier.
- Cut it into thick rounds and serve with extra chocolate sauce or whipped cream.
Notes
Optional Variations: You can add a swirl of caramel or fudge sauce throughout the ice cream, or experiment with different flavored ice creams like mint chocolate chip or cookies and cream.
Storage Tip: Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place it in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn. It can last for about two to three weeks, but is best enjoyed fresh.
