Creamy ice cream, chunks of edible cookie dough, gooey marshmallows, melted chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers all come together in one show-stopping frozen treat. This dessert isn’t just indulgent—it’s a full-on flavor explosion that delivers everything you love about classic campfire s’mores, no fire pit required.

Why This S’mores Ice Cream Roll Is So Addictive
What sets this dessert apart is texture. Every slice delivers creamy ice cream, soft cookie dough, stretchy marshmallow, snappy chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers—all in one bite. Unlike traditional ice cream cakes, the rolled format creates beautiful layers that make this dessert visually stunning and easy to slice.
The “explosion” comes from the generous filling. Instead of subtle mix-ins, this recipe leans into excess in the best way possible. Thick cookie dough ribbons, pockets of marshmallow, and pools of chocolate ensure every slice tastes decadent and fun.
