This S’mores ice cream recipe is easy to make without an ice cream machine. It includes all of the important things: Hershey’s bars, graham crackers, and marshmallows.
It isn’t summer if there aren’t s’mores! We’ve already had s’mores a couple of times this year. We have a small outdoor fire pit that is perfect for having bonfires.
My kids enjoy sitting out by the fire with their friends, just hanging out, visiting, and eating s’mores. But for the times that it isn’t convenient to have a bonfire, there’s s’mores ice cream!

How To Make S’mores Ice Cream
This is a no-churn ice cream recipe that can be made without a machine! You mix up the ingredients, pop it into the freezer overnight, and your homemade ice cream is ready.
Whipped Cream
Start by making whipped cream using a pint of cold heavy cream in a chilled mixing bowl beating with the whisk attachment until firm peaks form.
How To Make No Churn Ice Cream
Use a spatula to fold the sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, cocoa powder, and chocolate syrup into the whipped cream without deflating it. Spread the mixture in a loaf pan.
Mix-ins
Every s’more needs chocolate, so this s’mores ice cream starts with chopped up Hershey’s bars. I cut them so that they are like mini candy bars.
Add 1/2 cup of the chopped Hershey’s bars and 1/2 cup chopped graham crackers. Stir gently to disperse throughout the pan.
Top the ice cream with marshmallow cream and use a knife to swirl it into the ice cream.
S’more Ice Cream Toppings
To add more texture and make it look pretty, sprinkle the ice cream with 1/4 cup chopped Hershey’s bars, 1/4 cup chopped graham crackers and 1/4 cup mini marshmallows.
Freezer
Tightly cover the pan with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for 8 hours or overnight, until firm.
Scoop the S’more ice cream into dishes or into a cone when ready to eat. I think it would be really fun to top each dish with a toasted marshmallow right before serving.
No Churn S’mores Ice Cream FAQs
1. Can I use Cool Whip to make no-churn ice cream?
Yes, use four cups of Cool Whip instead of the whipped cream.
2. Do you have a lighter no-churn ice cream recipe? You can use light Cool Whip, fat-free sweetened condensed milk, and sugar-free chocolate.
3. What other flavors do you suggest? The sky is the limit when it comes to no churn ice cream! Add any of your favorite mix-ins from espresso powder to peanut butter.

This looks absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to give it a try! I do have a question. What is vanilla bean paste and where is it located in the store? Thanks!
Tonia says
Thanks, Jayne! Here is the vanilla bean paste I use: http://www.nielsenmassey.com/culinary/products-pure-vanilla-bean-paste.php It is available at Williams-Sonoma and on Amazon. But you can use vanilla extract instead of vanilla bean paste! Best of luck!
