How to Make Ice Cream S’mores Cupcakes
You only need six ingredients to make these s’mores cupcakes:
- San Bernardo ice cream
- Graham cracker crumbs
- Melted butter
- Semisweet chocolate
- Heavy cream
- Mini-marshmallows
The bottom layer consists of graham crackers and butter. The second layer is your favorite flavor of ice cream – we used Vanilla, Biscotti and Cactus Pear.
The third layer is chocolate and cream, and finally everything is topped with marshmallows.
Tips and Secrets for Making S’mores Cupcakes
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer 20 minutes before use, so it can soften to a spreadable consistency.
- Use foil or white paper cupcake cups for a crisp look, and make sure they fit comfortably into your cupcake pan.
- After spreading the ice cream, return to the freezer to harden before adding the melted chocolate.
- Freeze one last time to harden again before adding the marshmallows. Then you can easily broil them for a few minutes to brown.
Make Ahead Tips
You can make these ice cream s’mores cupcakes up to one month ahead of time. Just store them in a large airtight container or zip top bag in the freezer.
Important: About 20 minutes before serving, remove the cupcakes from the freezer, so they can soften slightly. The flavors will improve, and it’ll make for easier cutting.
