To achieve the perfect S’mores ice cream sandwich, it’s important to start with homemade graham crackers. Follow these simple steps:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the following dry ingredients:
   • 2 cups all-purpose flour
   • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
   • 1/2 cup brown sugar
   • 1 teaspoon baking soda

   • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until the dough forms.
4. Divide the dough in half and shape each portion into a rectangle.
5. Place the rectangles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
7. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and cut it into individual crackers.
8. Bake the crackers for about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Allow the graham crackers to cool completely before using them in your S’mores ice cream sandwiches.

4. Preparing the Marshmallow Cream

The next step is to create a luscious and creamy marshmallow filling for your S’mores ice cream sandwiches. Here’s how:

1. In a saucepan, combine the following ingredients:
   • 2 cups marshmallows
   • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
   • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
   • 1/4 cup milk
   • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2. Cook the mixture over low heat, stirring continuously until the marshmallows have melted and the mixture is smooth.
3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
4. Once cooled, transfer the marshmallow cream to a mixing bowl.
5. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes light and fluffy.
6. Set aside the marshmallow cream until you’re ready to assemble the ice cream sandwiches.

5. Assembling the S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches

Now comes the fun part—putting everything together! Follow these steps to create the ultimate S’mores ice cream sandwiches:

1. Take two graham crackers and spread a generous amount of marshmallow cream on one side of each cracker.
2. Place a scoop of chocolate ice cream on top of one cracker and gently press the other cracker on top, creating a sandwich.
3. Repeat this process for the remaining graham crackers, marshmallow cream, and chocolate ice cream.
4. Once all the sandwiches are assembled, place them in the freezer for at least 1 hour to firm up.

6. Creative Variations

To add a unique twist to your S’mores ice cream sandwiches, consider experimenting with these creative variations:

1. Mint Chocolate Chip: Substitute the chocolate ice cream with mint chocolate chip ice cream for a refreshing flavor combination.
