More About This Recipe
-
Best s'mores makeover yet: ice cream cupcakes! With all the s'mores fixin's ... even a toasted marshmallow on top.
The graham cracker crust, rich chocolate cupcake, creamy chocolate ice cream and frosting, and toasty marshmallow perched on top make one pretty amazing s'mores dessert. You’ll beg for seconds. And...you don't even need a campfire. Ahhhmazing.
This S'mores Ice Cream Cupcakes recipe more than satisfies any sweet tooth or s'mores craving you've got!
Here’s what you’ll need for the most awesome s'mores dessert ever.
You’ll spoon the graham cracker mixture into the cupcake tins, spoon the cake batter on top, and bake. It will smell so good in your house, you’ll nearly go crazy. But don't -- there’s only a few more steps.
Once the cupcakes are cooled, scoop on the ice cream (yeah, you can have a few licks).
Pop those babies in the freezer and take them out once they’re solid.
Okay, here’s where you DON’T need a campfire. Turn on your stove, place your marshmallows on a skewer, and toast the marshmallows over the burner. Who knew you could roast marshmallows inside? (Just don't over-do them or you'll get marshmallow blop on your burner.)
Melt the chocolate chips for sixty seconds in the microwave. Stir in the chocolate frosting, and heat again until melty. Stir 'til it's smooth. Oh, ok ... just an itty bitty taste is allowed.
Remove the frozen cupcakes from the wrappers and slather them with chocolatey frosting. Mmm.
Place a toasted marshmallow on top of each cupcake. Hold your horses, we’re not quite done yet.
Return the cupcakes to the freezer- this may be the hardest wait of your life!
Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Let’s eat!
