Frozen s'mores use ice cream instead of marshmallows; no fire needed! We found this recipe Allrecipes.com and it looks gooood!



Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup heavy cream
• 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
• 14 or so graham crackers
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream, softened on microwave's defrost setting for 30 seconds
• 1 pint chocolate ice cream, softened on microwave's defrost setting for 30 seconds

Directions:

1. Microwave cream and chocolate in a 1-quart glass measuring cup on high power until very hot, about 2 minutes. Whisk until chocolate melts into a smooth sauce.
2. Line an 8-inch square metal pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang. Arrange 1/3 of the graham crackers over bottom, cutting the final few with a knife to fit. Drizzle 1/3 of the sauce over the crackers; spread evenly. Freeze until chocolate is just set, 5 to 10 minutes.
3. Spread vanilla ice cream over the chocolate. Top with another cracker layer as before. Drizzle another 1/3 of the sauce over the crackers; spread evenly. Freeze until just set, 5 to 10 minutes. Spread chocolate ice cream over the crackers. Arrange a final layer of crackers over the ice cream. Spread remaining sauce over crackers.
4. Freeze until set, about 2 hours, or double-wrap in plastic and freeze up to 5 days.
5. To serve, lift dessert from pan; discard plastic wrap. Halve the dessert; cut each half into 6 slices. Return to freezer briefly.

Enjoy with a cold glass of milk! YUM!
