This 6-ingredient ice cream s’mores recipe is a summer delight

Enjoying s’mores around the campfire and devouring ice cream sandwiches on a hot day are both quintessential summer pastimes. Now you can combine the best of both in the perfect warm-weather treat: s’mores ice cream sandwiches.

Thanks to an easy recipe, you can whip up the decadent frozen dessert — composed of chocolate marshmallow fluff and vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two graham crackers and dipped in melted chocolate — with just six ingredients. All you need is unsweetened cocoa powder, store-bought marshmallow fluff, graham crackers, vanilla ice cream, bittersweet chocolate and canola oil.

Because you can melt the bittersweet chocolate in the microwave, you don’t even need to turn on the oven to make the recipe. The addition of canola oil to the dipping chocolate ensures it doesn’t harden too quickly and creates a shiny, smooth finish.

Once you fill the sandwiches with the marshmallow mixture and ice cream — and let them set for at least four hours — and dunk them in the chocolate, the treats only need to set in the freezer for 10 minutes or so before they’re ready to devour.
