S'mores Ice Cream

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon liner (this is essential).
3. Place the marshmallow's on the baking sheet side by side and roast for about 20 minutes or until golden brown on the top.
4. Remove from oven and cool. If possible, crumble the marshmallow's or break them into smallish pieces.
5. Combine the egg and egg yolks and beat together until light and frothy. Set aside.
6. In a heavy bottomed saucepan heat the sugar over med/low heat for about 1 minutes. Add the cream and the milk and stir until the sugar is dissolved.
7. Once the mixture is just about at the boil but not quite, turn the heat down. Take a ladle full of the warm cream and slowly whisk it into the eggs. Add one more ladle full the same way. Then pour the egg mixture back into the rest of the cream mixture. Stir just until the mixture is ready (the wooden spoon test is the one I use - dip the spoon into the mixture, turn the spoon over so that you can run your finger through the back of the spoon. If the mixture remains apart for a few seconds after you've run your finger along the back then it's ready) Remove from heat and run through a sieve. Add the marshmallow pieces and the vanilla. Stir until the marshmallow bits are almost dissolved and then cover with clingfilm (pressing the clingfilm right onto the top of the custard covering the whole thing) and cool in the fridge for about 3 - 4 hrs or even overnight.
8. To finish:
9. Pour the crumbled graham crackers onto a baking sheet and flatten out as much as possible.
10. Over a double boiler melt the chocolate until it is a pouring consistency. Pour the chocolate over the graham cracker pieces and then stir to coat. Set aside to cool and set.
11. Pour the cream mixture into an ice cream maker and churn until it's the consistency of soft serve ice cream. Pour in the cooled graham cracker/chocolate mixture and churn just a little more to mix it in.
12. Pour into some reserved containers and freeze until hard.
13. Soften for about 10 minutes before serving.
