FROZEN MINI S'MORES PIES

Steps:

• Heat butter and honey in a small saucepan over medium or in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. With the motor running, drizzle in butter-honey mixture and process until well combined. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl.
• Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat cream cheese in a large bowl until creamy, about 3 minutes. Add condensed milk and cocoa powder and beat until smooth.
• Using a whisk or electric mixer on medium-high speed, whip cream in another medium bowl to stiff peaks. Gently fold into cocoa powder mixture.
• Line muffin pan with paper liners. Pour cocoa powder mixture into a pastry bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped off and pipe evenly into muffin cups. Top each with 1 1/2 Tbsp. cracker crumb mixture, breaking up crumbs to completely cover, then press down gently to adhere. Freeze until set, at least 3 hours.
• Heat corn syrup, sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan over low until sugar is melted. Increase heat to medium and cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 240˚F, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, using electric mixer on medium-high speed (or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment), beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Reduce mixer speed to low and carefully add sugar syrup to egg whites in a slow and steady stream. Increase speed to high and beat until mixture is light, glossy, and fluffy, 6-8 minutes.
• Remove pies from molds, turn upside down, and remove paper liners. Dollop each pie with meringue. Using kitchen torch, carefully torch fluff. Serve immediately or return to freezer until ready to serve.
• Do Ahead
• Pies (without topping) can be made 2 weeks ahead; cover and freeze. Pies (with topping) can be made 5 days ahead; keep frozen.

FROZEN S'MORES

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the marshmallows on the baking sheet and broil until deep brown, about 30 seconds. Remove from the oven and set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
• In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the ice cream on medium-low speed until just soft. Add the toasted marshmallows and the chocolate chips and mix on low until just combined. Working quickly, scoop about 3 tablespoons of the ice cream mixture onto half of the graham crackers. Top with the remaining graham crackers and place in the freezer. Freeze until firm, at least 2 hours.

NO-BAKE S'MORES ICE CREAM PIE

Steps:

• For the graham cracker crust: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the chocolate chips until melted and combined.
• Combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter mixture in a large mixing bowl. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
• Press the crumb mixture into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer to the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
• For the homemade magic chocolate shell: Melt the coconut oil and chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat, just until smooth. Remove from the heat.
• To assemble the pie: Evenly spread half of the softened ice cream on the bottom of the pie crust. Drizzle a layer of chocolate shell over the ice cream, followed by the graham cracker crumbs and chocolate chips. Add the second half of the ice cream, followed by another drizzle of chocolate shell. Lastly, add a layer of marshmallow creme and a layer of marshmallows on top. Freeze for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Serving options: Place under a broiler to toast the marshmallows, 20 to 30 seconds. Keep an eye on the marshmallows as they toast up extremely quick. Or you can torch the top for the burnt marshmallow flavor.
