Toasted Marshmallow S'mores Ice Cream

Are you ready for a weird and kinda freaky story? I love to make my own ice cream but haven't actually made any in a long while. So I decided to make this outrageously creamy batch of S'mores Ice Cream two nights ago, and yes my kids were stoked! Out of curiosity I decided to check to see when I last posted ice cream, and it turns out that it was one day away from being a year ago.

Let's call this my ice cream anniversary. As always there's boatloads of s'mores ice cream recipes on the inter webs, but who cares. This tastes evil good, especially if you can score a giant lump of burnt toasted marshmallow in your scoop. If I was a firefighter and the Jet Puff marshmallow factory went up in flames, I'm not sure I'd try to put it if I'm honest. That toasty smell is awesome. What the heck is it about s'mores that gets everybody in a hot mess?

Toasted Marshmallow S'mores Ice Cream

All ice cream recipes need a good solid base and I can't take the credit for this one. Ever since I was given Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream book, this is the recipe I use to make every batch. It's so easy and never lets me down. The add-ins are the fun part and can easily be folded in at the end. Let your imagination run crazy with recipe ideas including even savory ice cream.

I know, you're thinking I've lost my mind but don't knock it until you've tried it. I once made a blue cheese ice cream with salted caramel and pecans. I thought it was freaking amazing but M almost threw up when she tasted it. I think she just had a chunk of Stilton in her scoop and got hit hard. Rhubarb and Doughnut, Biscoff and Malted Chocolate are just a few other favorite flavors I've made using Jeni's base recipe.

You can scoop it or plop it in a waffle cone. Shoot, if you have extra graham crackers make yourself an easy ice cream sandwich. Maybe you could even dip half of it in melted chocolate? On point!
