Let’s take theRocky Road Ice Cream, marry it to camp fire S’mores and awe in the presence of their beautiful food baby.
But before we dive into the Deconstructed Rocky Road S’mores, here is abit of history behind Rocky Road Ice cream:
- Created by William Dreyer…
- To cheer people up after theWall Street Crash of 1929.
- Was the first major ice cream flavor after Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry.
- Rocky Road Ice Cream is a divine cold combination of chocolate, toasted almonds and marshmallows.

The question you may have is, what are you looking at?
In detail:Rocky Road Ice Cream sitting on a bed of toasted graham cracker crumbs and torched marshmallow fluff. That seductive scoop is then topped off with dark chocolate chips and roasted almonds. The warm chocolate ganache is optional but from a truly rational stance…I don’t see why not.
In short:A chocolate lover’s wet dream!
In reality:This is just another byproductof my compulsive urge to deface and over complicate traditional food.

Toasted Graham Cracker Crumbs
Servings: Servings
Instructions
I didn't have Roasted Salted Almonds so I crushed up some raw ones and toasted them over medium heat (with a dash of salt) for 3-5 minutes.
Over Medium Heat, melt the butter and mix in your salt and Crushed Graham Crackers (3-4 minutes, until they have turned golden brown).
Spoon some Marshmallow Fluff on a plate and quickly torch it (mine got color in about 3 seconds).
Throw everything onto the plate and serve!
Recipe Notes
If you don't have a torch, you can spread the marshmallow fluff on an oven safe plate and bake for 3-5 minutes (or until brown) at 350F
