Summer is flying by. The school supplies are out in full force (as is the Christmas paper???). Back to school commercials are on TV. Fall clothing is gracing the covers of magazines. That means your chance to get in S’mores is dwindling….or is it?
I’m not sure when the idea that S’mores were only a summertime activity. Perhaps it’s because firemen frown on you starting a fire pit in your house (though that is a great way for you single gals to meet firemen…a tad costly though). Thanks to the invention of the culinary torch we have S’mores pretty much whenever we want…or you can even make them in the microwave when desperate.
But Susan of Doughmesstic is helping you get your S’mores fix year round. From Black Forest S’mores (how did I not think of that), to S’mores Turnovers, to S’mores Coffee Cake there are plenty of ways to get your S’mores on. Inspired by her book and fueled by the warm weather and not wanting to bake I decided to make a Nutella S’mores Ice Cream Pie.
Super easy to make. I use a premade graham cracker crust (you can make your own but it was literally cheaper to buy one premade as they were on sale) and store bought ice cream (feel free to make your own…I was lazy). If you aren’t a Nutella fan (the horror) you could do peanut butter as well. I plan on making this in the Winter with a peppermint theme (must be all the Christmas stuff at Costco making me think this way).
So if you are feeling like not baking due to the heat and are pretty lazy like I’m feeling this is the yummy pie for you. And if you want lots of S’mores ideas check out Susan’s new book The S’mores Cookbook: From S’mores Stuffed French Toast to a S’mores Cheesecake Recipe, Treat Yourself to S’more of Everything
*I was given a complimentary copy of the cookbook but opinions are all mine.

Did you know that today, yes TODAY is National S’Mores day!?! What a perfect treat to end a day of all things s’mores! The only thing I don’t have is the chocolate ice cream (my kids have a love affair with both nutella and marshmallows so we always have a strange and large assortment). Thank you for the great idea for desert tonight! As it is my kids start school on Monday so this is our last “family” night before it starts so we wanted special. So thanks Peabody!!

My brain is trying to come up with an intelligent comment. My stomach will not cooperate. This is pure genius. Excuse me while my hormones drag me back into the kitchen to scrabble up the ingredients…

This pie looks killer. I can’t even imagine having to be near a fire right now. The thought of it makes me sweat. Ice cream all the time every day, please. With torched marshmallows done in five seconds. Perfect!
