Tasty graham cracker cookies, gooey marshmallow creme and rich chocolate ice cream make for a cool spin on a scrumptious summertime treat in these S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches!

Savor the Summer Flavor

Gooey marshmallow cream and rich chocolate ice cream sandwiched between perfectly thin, but chewy, chocolate chunk graham cracker cookies. Could anything be more perfect for summer than these S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches?

Saturdays are for S’mores!

I love s’mores and I would bet you do too. Whether it’s a traditional s’more made over the fire, no-bake s’mores bars or super easy s’mores marshmallow pops, you won’t find a summer Saturday at our house when we’re not indulging!

I also love a homemade ice cream sandwich. So this magical combination just makes delicious sense!

The Cookie is Key

The thin graham cracker cookies are what makes them extra special and has you screaming for more. They are crispy around the edges with a slight chew in the center making them perfect for an ice cream sandwich. They taste just like a graham cracker with a hint of milk chocolate. I’m so obsessed with these cookies that I’ve actually been keeping a batch handy to snack on or make a s’mores ice cream sandwich anytime I so desire!

You’ve got the perfect cookies, so now all you need is a little marshmallow crème and your favorite chocolate ice cream to get this party started. I don’t think words do these s’mores treats justice. You just have to try them to experience the amazingness for yourself. You can thank me later! Just enjoy and share the yumminess with your friends because everyone’s sure to love them!

Ingredients and Supplies

(see recipe card at the bottom of this post for measurements and details. To learn more about specific baking ingredients and how they function in baking recipes, reference my Complete Guide to Baking Ingredients)

Ingredients:

• Softened unsalted butter: provides richness, moisture and tenderness to the cookies. Also, helps with spreading. If you use salted butter, you might consider using less salt in the recipe as it will affect the sweetness of the cookie.
• Granulated sugar: adds sweetness and creates the crisp around the edges.
• Light brown sugar: adds moisture and chewiness due to the molasses content. If you use dark brown sugar they will have a richer molasses flavor and might spread a little more during baking.
• Honey: enhances the “graham cracker” flavor and adds moisture and chewiness.
• Large egg: helps bind the ingredients together and adds moisture.
• Vanilla extract: adds a warm, sweet, aromatic flavor that complements the chocolate and the graham.
• All-purpose flour: provides structure and body to the cookies.
• Baking soda: the leavening agent that helps the cookies rise slightly and spread.
• Cinnamon: adds a subtle warmth and spice that mimics the flavor of graham crackers.
• Kosher salt: balances the sweetness and enhances the overall flavor. Table salt will actually pack a saltier punch than Kosher salt so if you only have table salt, adjust accordingly.
• Crushed graham cracker crumbs: provides texture and authentic graham cracker taste, a key component of s’mores.
• Milk chocolate bars: adds melty, creamy chocolate chunks, staying true to the classic s’mores flavor.
• Marshmallow crème: mimics the gooey roasted marshmallow in traditional s’mores while providing a sticky sweetness and creamy texture.
• Chocolate ice cream (I like using a dark chocolate ice cream): completes the s’mores trio by adding a cold, rich chocolate layer that contrasts so nicely with the marshmallow crème and graham cookies.

Supplies:

• 2 baking sheets
• Parchment paper
• Electric mixer
• Mini cookie scoop
• Wire cooling rack

How to Make S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars until creamy.
• Pour in the honey and beat until smooth.
• Add the egg and vanilla.

• Beat until well combined.
• Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt until just combined.
• Stir in the graham cracker crumbs and chopped chocolate bars.

• Use a mini cookie scoop or your fingers to shape dough into 2 teaspoon sized balls and place them a few inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are golden brown. Let cool on cookie sheets for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
• Once cookies are cool, flip two over and spread one with a thin layer of marshmallow crème and place a small scoop of chocolate ice cream on the other.

• Turn the marshmallow crème cookie over onto the ice cream cookie and press together.

Storage

The ice cream sandwiches taste best when they are prepared right before eating rather than making them ahead and freezing them. Store cookies in an airtight container until ready to assemble.

If you need to prep them ahead, assemble one ice cream sandwich at a time and wrap individually in plastic wrap to place in the freezer until ready to serve. To store in the freezer for up to 2 months, place the wrapped ice cream sandwiches in the freezer-safe container or plastic bag. When ready to eat, let each ice cream sandwich sit at room temperature for a few minutes before enjoying.
