If you love ice cream cake and s’mores, this dessert is for you! Those two happened to be my family’s favorites. This recipe really came about when my son had trouble deciding whether he wanted an ice cream cake or s’mores for his birthday. And so the light bulb went off: why not combine the two? I did, and I’ve been making it every year since. It’s absolutely heavenly!
Smores Ice Cream Cake
This fusion of two favorite desserts will satisfy any sweet tooth.

- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Scale
- 48 oz. vanilla ice cream
- 4 oz milk chocolate (1 Hershey’s bar), grated with a box grater
- 2–3 cups mini marshmallows
- 6 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 sleeves of honey graham crackers (18 total crackers)
Instructions
- Let ice cream soften while you prep everything else.
- Line a cake pan with foil or saran wrap, make sure it overhangs a bit so it will be easier to take out.
- Grate chocolate bar using a box grater (put the bar in the freezer for about 5 minutes prior to grating to cut down on the amount that melts to your fingers).
- Put graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Add melted butter while food processor is running so the graham crackers get evenly moist. Divide ground graham crackers into two equal parts.
-
Dump one part of graham craker/butter mixture into lined cake pan and pat down so it holds together.
-
Sprinkle about 1/2 cup of chocolate shavings, spreading evenly.
-
Add ice cream to the pan and spread it evenly.
- Top ice cream with the rest of the ground graham crackers. Cover with plastic wrap or foil and freeze until solid (about 4-6 hours or overnight).
- Once frozen, remove from freezer, take off the plastic wrap or foil, and decorate with mini marshmallows and the rest of the chocolate shavings.
- Let the cake soften slightly before cutting. Enjoy!
