National Toasted Marshmallow Day- Stacy's Way

When I think about toasted marshmallows I naturally think of s'mores, however, for National Toasted Marshmallow Day I didn't want to JUST make a s'more... I wanted to make something MORE! I had a few things inspiring me for this wonderful holiday: 

1. My love for Fluffer Nutter's 
2. My love for Reece's peanut butter cups on my s'more in place of the plane ol' Hershey bars 
3. My love for Ice Cream 

With all that love floating around, I decided on...

Fluffer Nutter Ice Cream

   8 egg yolks   
   1 cup sugar
2.5 cups half-and-half
2.5 cups whipping cream 
   4 tsp. vanilla 
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup peanut butter
   1 cup marshmallow cream

In stand mixer, mix eggs and sugar together. Grandually add half-and-half until well mixed. Transfer to a medium sauce pan and add peanut butter and marshmallow cream. Heat until steamy, but not boiling, stirring constantly. Peanut butter and marshmallow cream should be melted. Return to stand mixer and add whipping cream, vanilla, and salt.  Once mixed, let chill overnight. Place in ice cream maker and mix according to your ice cream maker's directions.  Then ENJOY!!!

My original idea was to make an ice cream sandwich s'more using my homemade Fluffer Nutter ice cream. That turned out pretty messy, so I decided to do a layered ice cream sundae as well. It gave me all the same flavors of a Fluffer Nutter S'more Ice Cream Sandwich without the LOOOONG name and it wasn't quite so messy, but had all the same yumminess!! For that, I filled the bottom of the glass with crushed graham crackers and topped with mini chocolate chips and a chocolate dipped graham cracker to achieve a s'more like flavor! This gave me the "s'more but something more" I was looking for!

Notes

• Adapted from Kitchen Aid ice cream maker french vanilla ice cream recipe.
• I used a Kitchen Aid ice cream maker and ice cream was still very soft. After mixing it for the recommended 20 minutes I placed it back in freezer for 4 hours before enjoying. You will definitely need to plan ahead to make this recipe.
• The s'more ice cream sandwich tastes much better if left in the freezer over night so the graham cracker gets soft.
• There are SO many ways you could tweak this recipe! If you try it and/or tweak it, let me know! I'd love to hear what you did!!!
