We turned s’mores into ice cream sandwiches, and we want s’more!

I love, love, love s’mores. Chocolate, graham crackers and marshmallows — that’s all you need. But when the inspiration hits, I can’t help experimenting with the classic. Enter the s’mores ice cream sandwich.

I made my own graham cracker cookies for this recipe, but you can also use store-bought graham cracker cookies if you’re on a time crunch. Dip the cookies into melted chocolate, add marshmallow fluff and chocolate ice cream, and the recipe is all set.

Softening the ice cream first, spreading it out on a cookie sheet, freezing it and then cutting out a disk the same shape as your cookie is an ice cream sandwich hack we got from Anna Gordon, baker and owner of The Good Batch bakery in Brooklyn.
