This Honey Graham Cracker Chocolate Chip Ice Cream recipe is one of my favourite dessert ideas. So easy to make, this recipe uses your ice cream maker.
How this is my first ice cream recipe of the season?
I finally bought an ice cream maker all the way in September after leaving my old one behind in Vancouver. And now, almost one year later, I am dusting it off (and it’s new too!) and making my first ice cream recipe in Toronto.
First ice cream recipe using an ice cream maker that is.
Is it bad that I bought a tub of ice cream just for the container?
This is why it took me so long to make my first ice cream recipe. I bought a tub of ice cream, thinking we would finish it off in a couple of days and I can be on my merry way making ice cream all summer long.
Um..yeah. No.
I bought cherry ice cream and apparently John hates cherry ice cream. Who hates cherry ice cream?? Is that even a thing?
So it was up to me to finish this tub of ice cream. Alone. With John sitting there eating fruit and judging me.
Eventually I convinced him to help me out with eating the cherry ice cream by drizzling some chocolate magic shell on top. Seriously best combo EVER.
If you want a no fail dessert, go out and buy some cherry ice cream and make that super easy magic shell. You won’t be disappointed.
Or, you know. Just make this ice cream.
It’s funny, because when I asked John what I should make for my first ice cream recipe in Toronto, he suggested vanilla ice cream.
Vanilla. Are you kidding me?
Not that there is anything wrong with vanilla ice cream. I actually love it. But when he requests the same ice cream EVERY SINGLE TIME I pull out my ice cream maker?? Yeaahhh, I think I am going to switch it up a little bit.
And guess what? This became one of his new favourite ice cream recipes! (Score: Cathleen-1, John-0). The graham crackers give this ice cream a truly unique texture, while the chocolate chips.. well. Chocolate chips are just always a good idea.
Tried (and failed) to make the chocolate magic shell look good on top of the ice cream. But trust me. It tasted ah-mazing.

I love homemade ice cream but am just to lazy to get my ice cream machine out, but this one is very tempting to make. Looks lovely 😀

Haha, that is why I have my ice cream maker out on my counter at all times in the summer 🙂

Graham crackers and chocolate are a classic combination. I tend to like ice cream best when it is made with eggs. Enjoy your new ice cream maker.

I like it both ways. My fiance loves it sans eggs, so this one is for him 😉

Do the crackers get mushy I wanna try this
atasteofmadness
It doesn’t taste mushy because it will be frozen.
