Smores Ice Cream Cups Recipe (2024)

Smores Ice Cream Cupshave all the flavors of the traditional s’mores you love, but in a small cupcake-size frozen treat.

This post is brought to you in partnership with REAL® Seal. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I had this idea to put my love of ice cream together with my love of marshmallows. My idea was to make what I”m sharing with you today: Smores Ice Cream Cups. All the flavors of s’mores in a small cupcake-size frozen treat. But, this meant that I needed a marshmallow ice cream.

I didn’t think it would be complicated. Surely there had to be a marshmallow flavored ice cream in the stores? But I went to a few different stores and I came up empty-handed.

My solution was to make my own. BUT, I didn’t want to make it homemade, I wanted super easy.

Two common grocery store items came to my rescue: a carton ofvanilla ice cream + a bag of marshmallows.

With these, I was able to make Easy Toasted Marshmallow Ice Creamand it’s AWESOME!

There are alot of vanilla ice cream options out there, but make sure you buy ice cream with the red REAL® Seal, like the one in the middle of this image:

You’ve seen the REAL® Sealbefore, right? It’s on lots ofdairyproducts from ice cream to cheese and more. When you see theREAL® Seal on a product, it’s a sign that the product you are buying is agenuine dairy product, made with milk from cows on U.S. dairy farms. Companies have to register and meet specific guidelines to be able to display REAL® Sealon their packaging. You can learn more on theREAL® Seal website.

When you are looking for theREAL® Seal on packaging, you might find it on the front, back, or sideof the product. The ice cream I bought had the REAL® Seal right on the back. See it there?

Once you have your vanilla ice cream with aREAL® Seal,you’ll toast the marshmallows in your oven and get started making your ice cream.

Easy Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream

After your Easy Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream recipe is made, you’ll line a muffin tin with good quality cupcake liners.

Avoid using thin cupcake liners – foil liners are the best, butgood qualitypaper liners can be used as well (I used paper this time). Sprinkle a bit offinely crushed graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of each cupcake liner. Then, melt chocolate and coconut oil and drizzle somechocolate in the bottom of each cup — just enough to coat the bottom. Place in refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.

With the bottom layer of chocolate set and your ice cream thickened, you’re ready to filleachcupcake liner. Fill them nearly full with the toasted arshmallow ice creamand thenplace thepan in freezer until the ice cream is firm.

Adda bit of themeltedchocolate on top of the ice cream layer of one ice cream cup. If needed, spread the chocolate until it reaches the cupcake liner. Immediately after you top the ice creamwith chocolate, sprinkle it with crushed graham crackers. Continue with the remaining ice cream cups.

After all of your S’mores Ice Cream Cups are topped with chocolate and graham crackers, place the pan of treats back inthe freezer without covering. After the chocolate is set and the ice cream is firm, cover the pan withfoil. You could also remove the treats from the tray and place them in a freezer-safe food storage container.

Your S’mores Ice Cream Cups are best served within a month…but seriously, how will they last that long?

For serving, I recommend placing them on a small plate or in a small bowl, with or without the cupcake liner. I love the look of serving them with wood spoons, but that’s completely optional.
