What Makes an Ice Cream Roll Work?

The secret to a perfect ice cream roll is temperature and texture. Softened ice cream spreads easily, while sturdy fillings like cookie dough and graham crackers provide structure. Once frozen solid, the roll slices cleanly, revealing those dramatic layers without collapsing.

Using parchment paper or plastic wrap ensures an easy, tight roll that holds its shape beautifully.

Ingredients You’ll Need

For the Ice Cream Base

1½ quarts chocolate ice cream, softened

For the S’mores Explosion Filling

1½ cups edible cookie dough
1 cup marshmallow fluff
1 cup crushed graham crackers
½ cup mini marshmallows
½ cup chocolate chips or chunks

Optional Toppings

Chocolate drizzle
Extra graham cracker crumbs
Toasted marshmallows (for serving)

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Base

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or plastic wrap. Spread the softened chocolate ice cream into a large rectangle, about ¼-inch thick. Work quickly so the ice cream doesn’t melt too much.

2. Add the Layers

Evenly spread the edible cookie dough over the ice cream, followed by dollops of marshmallow fluff. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips evenly across the surface.

3. Roll It Up

Starting from the long edge, use the parchment paper to carefully roll the ice cream into a tight log. Keep the roll snug but gentle to maintain clean layers.

4. Freeze Until Firm

Wrap the roll tightly in parchment or plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until completely firm.

5. Slice and Serve

Remove from freezer and let sit for 3–5 minutes. Slice into thick rounds using a sharp knife. Serve immediately.
