Thanks for all the recipes you've been posting on my bloggy giveaway! I was intrigued by Jennifer's recipe for ice cream s'mores, so we had to try it! I made a few modifications (we added bananas since I love chocolate/bananas and love Chiquita as you all know!) and am including the recipe for Grandma's Chocolate Sauce.
Marshmallow Ice Cream S'more Stackers
Ingredients:
2 T vanilla
2 C milk
40 large marshmallows
1 pt. whipping cream, whipped (or just use a carton of Cool Whip to cut the fat)
Hershey bars (optional)
Graham Crackers
Bananas
Grandma's Chocolate Sauce (recipe below) or your favorite chocolate syrup
Directions:
Place the marshmallows and milk in microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high 2 minutes. Whisk well and microwave at 1 minute intervals until marshmallows are melted. Add the vanilla and cool.
When chilled and beginning to thicken, carefully whisk in whipped cream until thick but not stiff. Pour into a greased 9 x 13 pan and freeze.
TIME TO STACK! When firm, cut ice cream into graham cracker sized squares. Take one graham cracker, place an ice cream square on top, and place several sliced bananas on top of the ice cream. Add pieces of hershey bar (I found that my kids didn't like them since they get so cold and hard, so I'll leave them out next time) and top with final graham cracker. Drizzle Grandma's chocolate sauce on top or provide everyone with a small bowl for dipping.
Note: I made up a whole bunch of these at the same time and wrapped the extras in wax paper, put them all in a large ziploc, and now they're ready for a quick dessert!
Grandma's Chocolate Sauce
Ingredients:
2 ½ c. white sugar
¼ c. cocoa powder (I used dark cocoa powder, yum!)
¾ c. corn syrup
½ c. milk
1 can evaporated milk
1 T. Vanilla extract
Add all ingredients except evaporated milk and vanilla in a large pot. Cook over medium/high heat until boiling, stirring often. Continue to boil, Cook to firm ball stage, about 252 degrees (about 7-8 minutes for those of you who don't have a candy thermometer), stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla and evaporated milk. Cool. Mixture will thicken as it cools. Store in refrigerator. WARNING: THIS IS DANGEROUS IN THE FRIDGE! MANY BANANAS HAVE DROWNED IN GRANDMA'S CHOCOLATE SAUCE! :)

These look amazing and a fun take on the traditional s'more! Yum. The chocolate sauce I could devour alone completely on my own, I am sure.
OMG, I just wrote a blog post about August 10th being National S'mores Day.
Now I have another recipe to try!
Thanks:)
Oh yum. We got on a kick of making Smore's in the microwave not too long back (and my diet is so glad we got OFF that kick) but this just might get me back into it!
But you're distracting me! I am a frequent lurker on your yummy blog. So when I had this "gourmet" dilemna I thought of you first! I am having a birthday party for my sister this weekend and I want to make those delicious cupcakes that you see everywhere with the frosting piled two miles high, but I can't find a recipe! (Probably because I don't know what to search for other than "fluffy frosting".) Can you help me oh wonderful domestic goddess?
As my 5 year-old would say, "Oh My Word!" That looks delicious! And I'm sure it is really low cal, right?
I just popped over from Tip Junkie-can I just say AMAZING!
I will be coming here quite often for your great ideas!
Holy cow that looks DELISH!!!!!!!!!!!!
This looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing!
