Dark Chocolate S’Mores Ice Cream recipe

Ever since we got our InstantChill Ice Cream Maker (more on this amazing product below), we have been on a homemade ice cream kick. We’ve tried homemade strawberry ice cream, cookies and cream ice cream, Nutella ice cream, Bustelo coffee ice cream, and a double chocolate brownie ice cream recipe. It was so much fun trying all of these that I knew it was a matter of time before we started coming up with our own original ice cream recipes. The first was a Dark Chocolate S’Mores Ice Cream recipe that was a big success, and I’m so excited to share it with you today! This homemade s’mores ice cream recipe has a rich dark chocolate twist from dark cocoa powder, dark chocolate syrup, and semi-sweet chocolate chunks. Prefer milk chocolate? It’s easy to substitute to your preferred chocolate flavor! See the full recipe at the end of this post, or keep reading for some tips and recommendations for making homemade chocolate smores ice cream.

What you need to make homemade s mores ice cream

Tools:

• Ice Cream Maker. I use the InstantChill Ice Cream Maker from Instant Pot, and you guys – I have found a new kitchen appliance GAME CHANGER. Cravings don’t give notice, so the new #InstantChill has been our summer BFF, making a pint of ice cream in just 20 minutes, and other frozen treats in as little as 7 minutes! No pre-freezing or planning ahead is required. It’s literally as easy as pour, chill, and enjoy in MINUTES. And with homemade ice cream, you have endless ways to personalize your own custom flavors, like the homemade s mores ice cream recipe I am sharing today. The #FabFam is going to have lots of fun with this one!

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/4 cup unsweetened dark cocoa powder (such as Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa Baking Powder)
• 1 tablespoon dark chocolate syrup (such as Hershey’s Special Dark Chocolate Syrup)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• Pinch sea salt
• 5 full graham cracker sheets, crushed into crumbs (you can leave a few bigger chunks; it shouldn’t be all fine crumbs)
• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows, coarsely chopped (this also happens to be the exact amount in the Campfire Mini Marshmallow 1-ounce Snack Pack)
• 1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chunks, coarsely chopped (semi-sweet chocolate chips will work as well, but I love the shape of the chunks for this s’mores ice cream recipe)

Remember, it’s easy to substitute regular cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, and milk chocolate chips in this recipe if you prefer milk chocolate to dark chocolate! We’re a dark chocolate family, so the richer the better for us in recipes like this, but this homemade s-mores ice cream would still be delicious either way.

How to make s-mores ice cream

This homemade smores ice cream recipe was developed using my Instant Pot InstantChill Ice Cream Maker, but you can make it in whatever ice cream maker you have. Just remember to follow your specific manufacturer instructions for any pre or post-chilling (as the InstantChill doesn’t require either). Th first step in making this dark chocolate s mores ice cream is to whisk the milk, cocoa powder, and chocolate syrup together in a small bowl until completely smooth.

Add the chocolate mixture, heavy whipping cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt into the ice cream maker. Use the ice cream maker’s standard Ice Cream program. When the ice cream is almost done (or whenever the ice cream maker calls for any “add-ins” in the program), add the graham cracker crumbs, marshmallow chunks, and chocolate chip chunks. Churn for another minute or two until combined or the program is complete.

The flavors and textures of this one are A-MAZING. It’s my favorite homemade ice cream that we’ve made in the InstantChill so far.
