S'more Ice Cream Pie

S'more Ice Cream Pie

This freezer-pie captures every layer of a camp-fire s’more, crisp graham crust, smooth chocolate centre and toasted marshmallow top, minus the smoke and melting chocolate on your fingers. Cocoa in the ice cream isn’t just flavour: flavanol-rich chocolate has been linked to improved blood-vessel elasticity and modest reductions in blood pressure in controlled studies.

Meanwhile, graham crackers (especially whole-grain varieties) supply a little fibre, about 3 g per 100 g serving, which helps slow the dessert’s sugar hit.

In other words, you get nostalgia, convenience and a touch of nutritional upside in each slice.

  • What you need:

    • 180 g graham-cracker crumbs
    • 50 g caster sugar
    • 85 g unsalted butter, melted
    • 10–15 ml filtered water (add only if crumbs look dry)
    • 800 g chocolate ice cream, slightly softened
    • 100 g mini marshmallows (enough to blanket the top)
  • How to do it:

    1. Make the crust. Stir the crumbs and sugar together, then pour in the melted butter. Mix until the texture resembles damp sand; if it still won’t clump when pinched, drizzle in filtered water and mix again. Press the mixture firmly over the base and up the sides of a 23 cm pie dish. Chill for 30 minutes.
    2. Add the ice cream. Dip a small ice-cream scoop into the hot water, shake off excess, then pack the softened chocolate ice cream into the chilled crust. Smooth the surface with a spatula. Cover completely with the mini marshmallows, pressing lightly so they stick.
    3. Freeze. Place the pie in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the ice cream is very firm.
    4. Toast the marshmallows. Quickly brown the topping with a blow-torch, moving the flame constantly. (If you don’t have a torch, set the pie on a tray under a very hot grill/broiler for 30–60 seconds, watching closely.) Return the pie to the freezer for at least 3 hours so the topping firms up again.
    5. Serve. Remove the pie from the freezer about 5 minutes before slicing. Dip a sharp knife in the hot water, wipe it dry, and cut clean wedges.

    Storage

    Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month; return any leftover slices to the freezer straight after serving.
