Tessa's Recipe Rundown...

Taste: My boyfriend dubbed this ice cream "the best I've ever tasted". Just take a look at the ingredient list and let your taste buds imagine the dreaminess of this ice cream. Texture: The ice cream is rich yet light and oh-so-creamy. The bits of graham cracker are crunchy while the streaks of marshmallow are slightly chewy and the ribbons of milk chocolate feel like ganache. Ease: A little messy but altogether easy. Also requires a few hours of chilling times. Appearance: I wish the streaks of marshmallow and chocolate were more visible in my scoops but either way they still look cool and creamy. Pros: Possibly the best ice cream I've ever made. Cons: None. Would I make this again? Yes!!

S’mores Ice Cream

Welcome to day 2 of S’mores Week. Yesterday I featured s’mores pancakes, today I come to you with a frozen confection. I try to refrain from using superlatives often on my site as I don’t want to give anyone unrealistic expectations of a recipe. But in today’s case, I have to say that this is definitely the best ice cream I’ve ever made, and possibly ever tasted.

The flavors and textures within every scoop of this ice cream are simply delectable. Not to mention a little nostalgic. The recipe actually comes from the user manual of one of my newly favorite appliances – my Cuisinart ice cream maker. No, this post isn’t sponsored by Cuisinart. I just really love that little machine, especially living here in Arizona.

Ingredients

1/2 cup cocoa powder, sifted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar

Turn on ice cream maker, pour mixture and mix 15-20 minutes, until thick. Five minutes before completed, gradually add marshmallow cream, spoonfuls at a time.

This recipe was soooo good!! Made it for a 4th of July party and it was such a hit that I made another batch for my family. Super creamy and chocolatey The second time I only used 1/2 c granulated sugar just because I don’t have a very high sweet tolerance. Loved it!!

I love that this doesn't require any egg yolks!!! Sometimes I want a rich creamy ice cream, but am way too lazy to make the custard.
