Frozen S’mores Sandwiches

Ingredients

For the Marshmallow Layer

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow creme
• 1 cup cold heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Pinch of fine salt

For Assembly

• 24 whole graham cracker squares
• 1 1/2 quarts chocolate ice cream, softened for 10 minutes
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips, optional

Substitutions

• Use chocolate gelato, chocolate frozen yogurt, or a dairy-free chocolate frozen dessert with a firm scoopable texture.
• Replace graham crackers with rectangular tea biscuits or gluten-free graham-style crackers.
• Add a thin layer of chocolate-hazelnut spread or peanut butter, but keep it thin so the sandwiches remain easy to bite.

Instructions

Step 2: Make the marshmallow filling

Beat cream cheese, marshmallow creme, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Whip the heavy cream to medium-stiff peaks and fold it into the marshmallow mixture.

Step 4: Add the marshmallow layer

Spoon the marshmallow filling over the ice cream and spread it gently into an even layer without mixing the two colors.

Step 5: Top and freeze

Place the remaining graham squares on top, aligning them with the bottom crackers. Freeze for at least 4 hours, until very firm.

Step 6: Cut and serve

Lift the slab from the pan and cut along the cracker seams with a warm dry knife. Let the sandwiches stand for 3 minutes before serving.

How to Store Leftovers

• Wrap each cut sandwich tightly in parchment and place it in a freezer-safe container.
• Store for up to 2 weeks for the best cracker texture.
• Keep the sandwiches level until fully frozen so the two fillings do not shift.

What to Serve With It

• Hot coffee
• A summer dessert platter

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using ice cream that is fully melted instead of merely softened.
• Spreading the marshmallow layer roughly and mixing it into the chocolate layer.
• Cutting before the slab is completely firm.
• Leaving the sandwiches uncovered in the freezer, which softens the crackers and causes freezer odor.
