- 1/2 cup (118.29 ml) milk
- 4 egg yolks, (large)
- 1/2 cup (100 g) sugar
- 1/4 cup (21.5 g) cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 ounces (56.7 g) semisweet chocolate, , melted
- 1 1/2 cups (354.88 ml) heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
For the marshmallow meringue
- 1 egg white, (large)
- 1/3 cup (66.67 g) granulated sugar, , divided
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 1/2 teaspoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the chocolate coating
- 6 ounces (170.1 g) semisweet chocolate, , melted
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, (Use expeller pressed coconut oil for the most neutral flavor)
For the s'mores ice cream bars
- 9 graham crackers,, broken in half and divided
Instructions
For the chocolate ice cream:
- Place the canister of an ice cream in the freezer overnight.
- Pour the milk into a small pot and place over medium heat.
- Combine the egg yolks, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- When the milk is hot and there are small bubbles forming around the edges, begin adding a little at a time to the yolk mixture, while stirring.
- Add in the melted chocolate, pour the mixture back into the pot, and cook over medium heat, stirring, until thickened.
- Strain the custard into a heat safe bowl, stir in the heavy cream and vanilla, and refrigerate overnight.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and arrange half the graham crackers on top.
- Churn the ice cream mixture in the prepared bowl for 15-30 minutes, or until it’s the consistency of soft-serve. Layer it in the prepared pan (over the graham crackers), and freeze solid.
For the marshmallow meringue:
- Place the egg white in a large mixing bowl and whip on medium speed until frothy.
- Gradually add 1 tablespoon of the sugar, while continuing to whip. Once all the sugar has been incorporated, turn the speed up to high and whip until stiff and glossy.
- Place the remaining sugar, water, and corn syrup in a medium pot and heat over medium high heat, swirling the pot occasionally, until it reaches a temperature of 240 degrees F.
- Slowly and carefully pour the hot syrup into the meringue in a thin stream, while whipping.
- Add vanilla, and pipe or spoon the mixture onto the remaining graham crackers.
- Toast with a brulee torch, or for a few minutes under the broiler.
For the chocolate coating:
- Stir the coconut oil into the melted chocolate.
To assemble the s’mores ice cream bars:
- Remove the chocolate ice cream layer from the pan and trim with a knife.
- Sandwich the toasted marshmallow meringue graham crackers on top and insert popsicle sticks, if using.
- Dip the ice cream sandwiches in the chocolate coating, chill briefly, and serve.
