Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 4-5 cups clean snow
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
Mix-ins
- 1/2-1 cup mini marshmallows
- 2-3 graham crackers, broken into pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the Chocolate Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder. Stir well until the sugar and cocoa powder are fully dissolved, creating a smooth chocolate milk mixture.
- Add Snow: Gradually add 4 cups of clean, fresh snow into the chocolate milk mixture. Gently fold the snow into the mixture, adding more snow if needed to achieve your preferred icy consistency. Mix until fully combined but still fluffy.
- Mix in S’mores Ingredients: Fold in the mini marshmallows and broken graham cracker pieces evenly throughout the ice cream mixture. Cover the bowl and place it in the freezer, or outdoors if temperatures are below freezing, for 30-40 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to settle.
- Serve: Scoop the chilled snow ice cream into bowls and serve immediately for a cool, sweet treat with the nostalgic flavors of s’mores.
Notes
- Use only clean, fresh snow to ensure safety and avoid contaminants.
- The amount of snow added can be adjusted to achieve your desired ice cream consistency — add more for a thicker texture.
- You can substitute mini marshmallows with chopped regular marshmallows if preferred.
- For a richer flavor, use whole milk or add a splash of cream.
- Best consumed shortly after freezing as the snow ice cream may melt quickly indoors.
