An easy s’mores ice cream pie is a sweet ending for a summer barbecue! This version is gluten free, dairy free, and allergy friendly!
Is there anything more summery than s’mores? How about a s’mores ice cream pie?
My sons love s’mores and love ice cream, so I made this fun no bake dessert the other day. It was so easy to make, just a simple graham cracker crust, some ice cream, melted chocolate, and some marshmallows on top.
It’s the perfect combination of two delicious summer desserts. Try it – I bet it will be a hit!

Ingredient Notes
The thing that’s great about this ice cream dessert is that it’s so easy to customize it according to your dietary needs.
- Ice Cream – Use any brand of ice cream that works for your dietary needs. There are many brands of dairy free ice cream out there. You could even make your own homemade ice cream if you like.
- Graham Crackers – I used Kinnikinnick Smoreables Graham Crackers. If you aren’t gluten free, I know that Nabisco Original Grahams are vegan.
- Marshmallows – We like Dandies marshmallows, and I used the mini variety for this pie.
- Allergy Friendly Chocolate Chips – I used Enjoy Life Dark Chocolate Chips, but feel free to use any brand of chocolate that works for your particular needs.
Substitutions
If you aren’t dairy free, you can use dairy ice cream, dairy butter, and regular chocolate chips. The recipe will still turn out well!
Special Equipment
I made this s’mores ice cream pie in an 8 inch cast iron skillet so that it would be safe to put under the broiler. It made about six servings in that smaller size skillet.
Step by Step Instructions
- Make the gluten free graham cracker crust and press into the bottom of the cast iron skillet.
- Spoon dairy free ice cream on top of the crust. Place the skillet in the freezer so that the ice cream firms back up.
- Drizzle melted chocolate chips over the ice cream.
- Top with mini marshmallows, and place under the broiler briefly so that the marshmallows get golden brown.

Recipe
Easy S’mores Ice Cream Pie.
Ingredients
- 9 graham crackers we used Kinnikinnick Gluten Free Grahams
- â…“ cup vegan buttery spread melted
- 1 pint dairy free vanilla ice cream softened
- ½ cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Crush the graham crackers into crumbs. I did this by putting them in a food processor. You could also place them in a ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and the vegan buttery spread until combined.
- Press the crust mixture in the bottom of an 8 inch cast iron skillet.
- Spread the softened ice cream on top of the graham cracker crust.
- Place the skillet in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up the ice cream.
- Microwave the dairy free chocolate chips for 60 seconds. Stir, then microwave in 10 second intervals until melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the ice cream layer.
- Turn broiler on. Put the mini marshmallows on top of the melted chocolate. Place the skillet under the broiler and watch carefully. Once the marshmallows are golden brown – about one minute or so, remove from the oven and serve immediately.

Hi! Just an FYI-marshmallows aren’t vegan. There is a vegan substitute however, but I have not used them and have no idea how they react to heat.

Thanks for commenting! I know most marshmallows are not vegan. Because of all our allergies, we use this brand, which is vegan: http://www.amazon.com/Dandies-Original-Vanilla-Marshmallows-10/dp/B00FBNZ58S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412799644&sr=8-1&keywords=vegan+marshmallows We love them, and I have seen them at Whole Foods and Meijer. I thought I had linked to them, but see that I did not.

You know, I have never had smores. They are not really a “thing” here in the UK, but I so need to make this. It looks incredible.
