Our favorite summer treat is making s'mores over the campfire. However, with the triple-digit heat wave we've been having lately, a campfire just isn't practical. So we've adapted the concept into a cool summer treat that is both fun for kids to eat and fun for them to help make.
S'mores Ice Cream Cake
12 graham cracker rectangles, crushed
1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream, softened
1 small container marshmallow fluff
1 jar hot fudge sauce
Spray whipped cream or cool-whip
chocolate chips (optional)
In a 9x9" square pan spread 1/2 of the graham cracker crumbs. Top with 1/2 of the chocolate ice cream, a thin layer of marshmallow fluff, and 1/2 the hot fudge sauce. Repeat layering. Top with whipped cream and garnish with chocolate chips if desired. Return to freezer until solid.
To serve, slice with a knife dipped in hot water and remove from pan with spatula.
