Cookie Dough Components
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
Ice Cream Base
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
S’mores Elements
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate chunks or bars
- Preparing the Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and the egg, then gradually incorporate the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Fold in the mini chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Making the Ice Cream Base: Combine the heavy cream, whole milk, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, then churn the mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer instructions until it reaches a soft, spreadable consistency. If using store-bought ice cream, allow it to soften for easier mixing.
- Incorporating Cookie Dough and S’mores Ingredients: Chop the chilled cookie dough into small chunks. Fold these pieces along with some crushed graham cracker crumbs gently into the softened ice cream base, creating delicious pockets of cookie dough and s’mores flavors throughout.
- Assembling the Roll: On a clean sheet of parchment paper, spread the cookie dough ice cream mixture into a rectangle about half an inch thick. Sprinkle additional mini marshmallows and chocolate chips evenly on top. Carefully lift one edge of the parchment and roll the ice cream tightly into a cylinder shape. Wrap the roll securely in parchment paper.
- Freezing the Roll: Place the wrapped roll in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight. This freezes the roll solid and makes slicing easier and neater.
- Serving: When ready to serve, remove the roll from the freezer and let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to soften slightly. Slice the roll into thick rounds using a sharp knife. Serve with optional chocolate sauce, whipped cream, and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- For an extra flavor boost, try toasting the mini marshmallows before adding them to the roll.
- Feel free to add crushed Oreos or peanut butter chips to customize your roll.
- Adding a swirl of caramel or fudge sauce inside the ice cream roll provides delightful surprises with each bite.
- Use parchment paper to easily roll and shape the ice cream mixture without sticking.
- Let the ice cream soften slightly before folding in chunky ingredients to avoid melting and maintain texture.
- Storing the roll overnight helps develop richer flavors and a firmer texture for clean slicing.
