Let’s Make it together

Preparing the Graham Cracker Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and cocoa powder for extra flavor. Add melted butter and mix until combined; it should look like wet sand. Press this mixture firmly into a pie dish using your fingers or the back of a measuring cup.

Baking the Crust

Place your prepared crust into the preheated oven for about 10 minutes until it’s slightly firmed up but not browned. Remove from oven and allow it to cool completely while you prepare the filling.

Making the Filling

In another bowl, blend softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually add softened vanilla ice cream while mixing continuously until well combined and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving that creamy texture we all love.

Assembling the Pie

Pour your creamy filling into the cooled crust evenly using a spatula to smooth out the top. Drizzle chocolate syrup over this layer like you’re creating edible art—it’s totally okay to be generous here!

Topping with Marshmallows

Sprinkle mini marshmallows over the chocolate drizzle just before serving so they stay fluffy rather than melting away into oblivion during refrigeration.

Freezing Time

Cover your assembled pie with plastic wrap or foil and place it in the freezer for at least four hours or until solidified completely. You want every bite to be like biting into a fluffy cloud of happiness!

Now you are ready to slice into this heavenly creation!

Every time I serve this delightfully decadent S’mores Ice Cream Pie at gatherings, I can hear forks hitting plates as everyone digs in with gleeful abandon!
