10 Minute S’mores Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Looking for a fast and easy to make dessert for a summer get together? When the weather has turned hot and the BBQ is always on, S'mores can be a great go to option. Up the wow factor with hardly any extra effort by turning everyday s'mores into a s'mores ice cream sandwich cake. A HUGE hit no matter the age of your guests. 10 minute S'mores Ice Cream Sandwich Cake.

As a Florida family, we love having people over for outdoor get togethers .

This is especially true in the summer when the temperatures are hot, hot hot and we don’t want to warm up the house by using the oven. So, this means that our BBQ gets a lot of use as does our pool.

However, it also means that with our super busy schedules, I don’t have a lot of time to plan fancy meals or desserts. Most of the time we’re throwing hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill, cutting up some cold watermelon and then we always have S’mores party fixins’ in our cupboard, because for us any day can be a S’mores day!

10 minutes S'mores Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Since it does get SO warm here in Florida during the summer, I was looking for a way to make our favorite S’mores into a cool treat.

Plus, it’s always fun to change things up a bit.

This was the inspiration for my 10 Minute S’mores Ice Cream Sandwich cake.

This S’mores recipe really is super quick and crazy easy and yet earned a HUGE WOW and YUM from guests at one of our recent summer parties.

The 10 minutes is split into two five minute prep times. Early in the day or even the day before you are expecting guests, you want to set out your favorite brand of vanilla ice cream and let it soften up a bit.

Next, grab a square baking dish and cover the bottom with 9 graham cracker squares.

I like those Graham Cracker Squares, because they are already the perfect size and I don’t have to mess with trying to break the crackers in half and having them get all crumbly (who has time for that, right?!). You’ll also want some Chocolate Bars (at least a 6 pack) and marshmallows. Those square ones that are made for S’mores work really well for this recipe,

Once you’ve got your graham crackers covering the bottom of the baking dish, put one scoop of the softened vanilla ice cream on each square. To spread it out, I actually used the palm of my hand and just applied gentle pressure to smush it down and then I used a spatula to spread it out and distribute the ice cream.

Then pop it back into the freezer so it gets nice and solid again. (This is really important, because you want the ice cream to be really frozen when you get ready for the next step).

Alright, so it’s almost time to serve dessert.

Now, you’re ready for the second 5 minute prep in your 10 Minute S’mores Ice Cream Sandwich Cake recipe. Fire back up the grill if it isn’t already on, because for this S’mores recipe you don’t need a campfire. Then line a baking tray with aluminum foil and place nine graham squares on it with a little space between each one.

Place 3 sections of the chocolate on each graham cracker square and top with a square marshmallow.

The tray can go directly on the grill and you’ll want to leave the squares on to cook about 3 minutes, just until the chocolate starts to get a little melty and you see the marshmallows starting to expand.

Finally, you’ll need a spatula and the ice cream portion of the dessert that is waiting in the freezer.

Pull the tray off the grill and using the spatula, flip the chocolate and marshmallow squares one by one to top the ice cream in the baking dish.

It will get a little oozy and messy, which is just what you want.

Once you’ve covered the whole dish, quickly use the spatula to scoop out a serving for each guest. If you re-froze the ice cream it will stay solid even though you’ve added the warmed chocolate and marshmallows, but it’s still best to serve right away.

However, as a little side note, I had some leftovers and so I just stuck the whole dish back in the freezer and the next day I was able to cut the remaining pieces out and serve them as individual ice cream sandwiches to my kiddos.

It wasn’t all ooey gooey and good the way the original cake turned out, but still delicious!

Looking for super easy and quick cool treat to serve at a summer party or get together? This 10 Minutes S'mores Ice Cream Sandwich Cake tastes amazing and will wow guests. No one will believe how fast it came together. Delicious. SunshineandHurricanes.com

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
