Ingredients

  • 1 cup chocolate chips (see note)
  • 1/2 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 (13- or 14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 Tbsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 (7 oz.) jar marshmallow crème
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 6 to 8 whole graham crackers, roughly crusted

Directions

  1. Melt chocolate with the evaporated milk and 2 percent milk according to package directions.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the melted chocolate and milk mixture with the vanilla, sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, lemon juice, and salt. Let stand until completely cool.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup of the chocolate mixture with the marshmallow crème until mostly blended, but with some larger lumps of marshmallow crème remaining.
  4. In a third bowl, beat cream to medium peaks.
  5. Whisk about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the remaining chocolate mixture, then, using a rubber spatula, gently fold the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture. Gently fold the marshmallow crème mixture into the chocolate-whipped cream mixture, being careful not to deflate the final mixture.
  6. Spread one- third of the mixture in the bottom of a 2-quarrt freezer-safe container. Sprinkle with one-third of the graham cracker crumbs. Repeat layers two times. Press a sheet of wax paper directly to the surface of the mixture. Freeze until firm, 4 to 6 hours. let stand at room temperature 5 to 10 minutes before scooping.
  7. makes 1 1/2 to 2 quarts

  8. Note: Semisweet chocolate chips will impart a richer chocolate flavor, but, the texture will be somewhat grittier because of the higher cacao content.
