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.
