Tips & Variations

For an extra chocolate kick, mix some cocoa powder into the cookie dough before rolling.
Use store-bought cookie dough or homemade for the best flavor.
Substitute chocolate ice cream for vanilla to deepen the chocolate flavor.
Try adding chopped nuts or a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added texture.

Storage

Store the ice cream roll wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week. When ready to serve, let slices sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly for easier cutting and a creamier texture.

How to Serve

The image shows a thick, square cinnamon roll with three visible layers: a soft, light golden-brown dough base, a middle layer with swirled cinnamon filling, and a top layer covered with toasted marshmallows and small bits of chocolate. The roll is drizzled with white icing and a darker chocolate drizzle on top. The cinnamon roll sits on a white plate with a thin gold rim and specks, placed on a white marbled surface. To the right of the roll is a gold fork with a black handle, resting on the plate. In the background, a larger serving tray of similar cinnamon rolls is partially visible.

FAQs

Can I use homemade cookie dough for this recipe?

Yes, homemade cookie dough works wonderfully and lets you control the ingredients and sweetness. Just make sure it’s properly chilled so it rolls smoothly.

How do I soften the ice cream without melting it completely?

Leave the ice cream out at room temperature for about 5 to 10 minutes until it’s spreadable but still firm to avoid melting too much during preparation.

Scale

Base

1 cup cookie dough, chilled
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 rectangle on a clean, flat surface. This will serve as the foundation for your ice cream roll.
Spread the ice cream: Evenly spread the softened vanilla ice cream over the rolled-out cookie dough, ensuring full coverage for a consistent taste throughout.
Add the toppings: Sprinkle the mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers evenly over the layer of ice cream to add texture and classic s’mores flavor.
Drizzle the chocolate syrup: Pour the chocolate syrup in a thin, even layer over the toppings to add an extra burst of chocolatey richness.
Roll and freeze: Carefully roll the dough into a log shape, encasing all the ice cream and toppings inside. Place the roll in the freezer and chill until firm, typically about 3 to 4 hours.
Slice and serve: Once the roll is fully frozen and firm, slice it into individual servings and serve chilled for a delightfully creamy and chewy dessert experience.

Notes

Make sure the cookie dough is well chilled before rolling to prevent it from sticking or tearing.
Softening the ice cream makes it easier to spread evenly over the dough.
For a gooier center, add a drizzle of marshmallow cream before rolling.
Keep the roll tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or parchment paper while freezing to maintain shape and prevent freezer burn.
Slices can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week.
