Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chocolate ice cream
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 3 tablespoons Crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup Chopped almonds or walnuts
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Chocolate syrup (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the chocolate ice cream in a large mixing bowl and let it soften at room temperature for 5–7 minutes until it's scoopable but not melted.
Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and chopped almonds or walnuts with a spatula. Make sure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture into a freezer-safe container. Spread it out evenly and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or spatula.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is melted and smooth (about 45 seconds total).
Drizzle the melted chocolate mixture over the top of the ice cream mixture. Use a toothpick or fork to create a swirl pattern if desired.
Cover the container tightly with a lid or plastic wrap, then freeze for at least 3–4 hours or until firm.
To serve, scoop into bowls and drizzle with chocolate syrup for extra decadence, if desired.
