Ingredients
  

For the Custard Base:

  • 1 cup 240ml whole milk
  • 2 cups 480ml heavy whipping cream
  • ¾ cup 150g granulated sugar, divided
  • 2 pinches salt
  • tsp 7.5ml vanilla extract
  • 5 large egg yolks

For the Mix-Ins:

  • 2 cups 100g mini marshmallows, toasted
  • 6 graham crackers 90g, broken into small pieces
  • 1 milk chocolate bar 4–6 oz, 110–170g, chopped into chunks

Optional Finishing Layers:

  • ½ cup 120g marshmallow spread
  • ½ cup 120ml warm chocolate fudge

Instructions
 

Heat the Custard Base

  • In a medium saucepan, I combine 1 cup whole milk, 2 cups heavy cream, ⅜ cup (75g) sugar, 2 pinches salt, and 1½ tsp vanilla extract. I whisk over medium heat until it just reaches a boil, then remove from heat.

Prepare Egg Yolk Mixture

  • In a medium bowl, I whisk 5 egg yolks with the remaining ⅜ cup (75g) sugar until pale and smooth, about 1–2 minutes.

Temper and Cook Custard

  • I slowly pour one-third of the hot milk mixture into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly to temper. I repeat with the remaining thirds, then return the mixture to the saucepan. Over medium-low heat, I stir continuously with a spatula for 2–3 minutes until thickened, ensuring it doesn’t boil.

Chill the Base

  • I transfer the custard to a bowl, cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours until fully chilled.

Prepare Mix-Ins

  • I toast 2 cups mini marshmallows on a baking sheet under a broiler for 1–2 minutes until golden, then cool completely. I break 6 graham crackers into small pieces and chop 1 milk chocolate bar into chunks.

Churn the Ice Cream

  • I pour the chilled custard into an ice cream maker and churn per manufacturer’s instructions (20–30 minutes). In the last 3 minutes, I add the toasted marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate chunks for even distribution.

Layer and Freeze

  • I transfer the churned S’mores Ice Cream to a freezer-safe container, drizzling ½ cup marshmallow spread and ½ cup warm chocolate fudge between layers for extra flavor, if using. I freeze for 4–6 hours until firm.

Serve

  • I let the S’mores Ice Cream soften at room temperature for 5–10 minutes, then scoop and garnish with extra toasted marshmallows or fudge, if desired.
