3. Top the crust with the ice cream filling

5. Freeze cake for a minimum of two hours
6. To serve: remove cake from freezer, let cake sit for 10 minutes, top with mini marshmallows and torch to a golden brown

Crust:

• 16 (8 oz.) whole graham crackers, crushed
• 1/3 C. powdered sugar
• 1 stick butter, melted

Combine graham crackers and sugar, add the melted butter and stir to a sandy, buttery consistency.  Press mixture into the bottom and up the sides of a 9” spring-form pan, using your fingers or a flat bottomed measuring cup, chill for 10 minutes while you prepare your ice cream.

Filling:

• 3 Pints Ben & Jerry’s S’mores Ice Cream

Remove Ice cream from containers and place in bowl to soften, about 10 minutes.  Stir to combine and top the prepared and chilled graham crust with the ice cream.

Fudge Sauce:

Combine chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.  If there is any left over sauce, it can be refrigerated and warmed in the microwave at a later time.

• 10 oz. semi or bittersweet chocolate
• 3 Tab. Coconut oil
