How to make this recipe

This is a great recipe to make with only a few ingredients needed! 

Step One: Whip the base

In a large bowl, combine heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk. Beat with a hand mixer until thick and fluffy—this gives you that scoopable texture without churning.

Step Two: Add flavor & mix-ins

Beat in instant chocolate pudding mix for rich flavor and extra creaminess. Then fold in marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers. (You can even toast your marshmallows for a smoky, campfire vibe!)

Step Three: Freeze

Pour the mixture into a loaf pan, sprinkle the top with more chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs, and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.

Step Four: Scoop & serve

Let the ice cream sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before scooping for best texture. Then serve in cones, cups—or even sandwich between graham crackers for a next-level treat.

Make it your own!

Want to take it even further? Here are a few fun twists to try:

• S’mores sundae – Scoop into bowls and drizzle with chocolate sauce or add a dollop of whipped cream.
• Toasted marshmallows – Broil marshmallows for a minute before folding them in for a real campfire flavor.
• Berry drizzle – Top with strawberry sauce or fresh berries for a fruity twist.

Recipe tips

• Let the ice cream soften on the counter for 10–15 minutes before scooping.
• Don’t let it fully melt and refreeze—it’ll lose its creamy texture.
• Want to toast marshmallows? Use the broiler for about a minute—but watch closely!
