A white rectangular plate holds a rolled ice cream dessert with about five visible layers: the outer layer is light brown with smooth texture, followed by a thick chocolate layer with dark chips, then a creamier white layer with mini marshmallows, a middle light brown ice cream layer mixed with chocolate chips and small crunchy pieces, and the innermost layer has dense chocolate sauce. The roll is topped with more mini marshmallows, crumbled crunchy pieces, and chopped nuts that add texture and color contrast. The background is a white marbled surface.

Ingredients

1 cup cookie dough, chilled
2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened
1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup chocolate syrup

Instructions

Step 1: Roll out the chilled cookie dough into a rectangle on a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Spread the softened vanilla ice cream evenly over the cookie dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 3: Sprinkle mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers evenly over the ice cream layer.
Step 4: Drizzle chocolate syrup over the toppings for extra flavor and sweetness.
Step 5: Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, using the parchment paper to help lift and shape it. Seal the edges gently.
Step 6: Freeze the roll until firm, about 2-3 hours, before slicing.
Step 7: Slice into pieces and serve chilled for a deliciously cool dessert.

Tips & Variations

For easier rolling, keep the ice cream slightly softened but not too melted to avoid soggy dough.
Try adding chopped nuts or a swirl of peanut butter for an extra layer of texture and flavor.
Use dark or white chocolate chips instead of regular for a different chocolate experience.
Replace mini marshmallows with marshmallow fluff if you prefer a creamier texture.

Storage

Store the ice cream roll wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the freezer. It will keep best for up to 1 week. To serve, let slices sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before enjoying.

How to Serve

A thick, soft cinnamon roll with three visible layers sits on a white plate with small brown speckles; the bottom layer is light golden dough, the middle layer is a cinnamon swirl, and the top layer is toasted marshmallows that are slightly charred, with white and dark chocolate drizzles creating a thin, zigzag pattern over them. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, and a gold and black fork lies to the right side of the cinnamon roll. A woman's hand holds the edge of the plate gently near the bottom left corner. In the background, a blurred pan filled with more cinnamon rolls can be seen. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make this dessert ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the ice cream roll a day or two in advance. Just keep it well wrapped and frozen until ready to serve.

What if my cookie dough is too soft to roll?

If the dough is too soft, chill it in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes before rolling. This will make it firmer and easier to handle.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Layer

1 cup cookie dough, chilled

Ice Cream Layer

2 cups vanilla ice cream, softened

Toppings

1 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
1/4 cup chocolate syrup

Instructions

Prepare the Cookie Dough Base: Roll out the chilled cookie dough into a large rectangle on a clean, flat surface. This will form the base of the ice cream roll, so take care to make it an even thickness.
Spread the Ice Cream: Evenly spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the entire surface of the rolled-out cookie dough, ensuring a smooth layer without gaps.
Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers evenly over the ice cream layer to distribute flavors and textures throughout.
Drizzle Chocolate Syrup: Drizzle chocolate syrup over the toppings to add a rich, sweet finish that enhances the s’mores flavor profile.
Roll the Dough: Carefully start rolling the dough from one edge to the other, forming a tight log shape that encases the ice cream and toppings inside without spilling.
Freeze Until Firm: Place the ice cream roll in the freezer and chill until it is firm enough to slice cleanly, typically for at least 2 hours.
Slice and Serve: Once thoroughly frozen, slice the roll into individual servings and serve chilled for a refreshing and indulgent dessert.

Notes

Ensure the cookie dough is firm yet pliable for rolling without cracking.
Soften the ice cream slightly to aid in spreading but avoid melting it completely.
Freeze the roll for a minimum of 2 hours to allow it to set well for slicing.
Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water for cleaner slices.
Customize the toppings by adding nuts or different chocolate varieties if desired.
This dessert should be kept frozen and served immediately after slicing for best texture.
