How to Make Frozen S’more Sandwiches

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out 12 graham cracker squares.
2. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, chocolate, and corn syrup together, stirring until smooth and glossy.
3. Brush half of the graham cracker squares lightly with the chocolate mixture. Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top, then place under a broiler or use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows until golden and slightly puffed, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Remove the toasted crackers and let cool completely; this will set the marshmallow topping.
5. Once cooled, scoop about 3 tablespoons of softened vanilla ice cream onto the plain graham crackers. Top each with a toasted marshmallow cracker to form sandwiches. Press gently to spread the ice cream evenly.
6. Wrap each sandwich tightly in plastic wrap and place on the baking sheet. Freeze for at least 4 hours or until firm.
7. Before serving, let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for 5 minutes for easier biting. Optionally, drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle crushed nuts for extra flair.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use slightly softened ice cream for easier spreading and assembly.
• Toast marshmallows carefully to avoid burning; watch closely under the broiler or with a torch.
• For a richer flavor, try chocolate or caramel ice cream instead of vanilla.
• Wrap sandwiches individually to prevent freezer burn and keep flavors fresh.
• Let frozen sandwiches thaw a few minutes before eating for the perfect texture.

Storage and Reheating

Store your frozen s’more sandwiches wrapped tightly in plastic in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. This helps maintain their texture and prevents freezer burn.

To enjoy, remove sandwiches from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes before eating. Avoid microwaving, as it can melt the ice cream unevenly and soften the graham crackers too much.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other types of ice cream?

Absolutely! While vanilla is classic and versatile, chocolate, caramel, or even coffee-flavored ice creams work wonderfully. Just pick a flavor that complements the chocolate and marshmallow for a tasty twist.

How do I toast marshmallows without a broiler or torch?

If you don’t have a broiler or kitchen torch, you can toast the marshmallows in a hot skillet over medium heat, flipping carefully to get an even golden color. Alternatively, use a microwave to slightly melt the marshmallows, though you won’t get the toasty effect.

Can I make these vegan or dairy-free?

Yes! Substitute dairy-free ice cream made from coconut, almond, or soy milk, and use vegan chocolate and marshmallows. Be sure to check labels to confirm they meet your dietary needs.

How long do these sandwiches last in the freezer?

Frozen s’more sandwiches stay best for up to 2 weeks when wrapped properly. After that, they may develop freezer burn or lose texture quality but are still safe to eat.
