Bring the taste of your favorite outdoor treat to the dessert table with this no-bake smores ice cream pie. Made with chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows, this pie has all of your smore favorites in every slice!
Prepare the crust. Add the graham crackers to a food processor and blend until fine crumbs form. Add the melted butter and sugar, then pulse again until the mixture looks evenly moistened.
Chill the crust. Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of an 8- or 9-inch springform pan. Place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or freeze while preparing the filling.
Mix the base. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff until smooth and fluffy.
Add ice cream. Stir in the softened chocolate ice cream until fully combined and no streaks remain.
Fold gently. Fold in the whipped topping until evenly incorporated, keeping the mixture light and airy.
Assemble and freeze. Pour the filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
Serve. Slice and serve topped with whipped cream, if desired.
Notes
Shortcut Option. A store-bought graham cracker crust works well, though you may have extra filling.
Flavor Variations. Swap the chocolate ice cream for strawberry, vanilla, or rocky road for a different twist.
Texture Tip. Soften cream cheese fully, but keep ice cream at a soft-serve consistency for easier mixing.
Toasted Finish. For a toasted marshmallow look, broil large marshmallows on a foil-lined baking sheet for up to 1 minute, watching closely to avoid burning.
