This is how we make s’mores in Texas, where it’s much too hot for campfires:
No, not really.
Really, I made these frozen s’mores pops for a friend’s Labor Day party, for all the kids in attendance. Someone else had brought a package of those red, white, and blue rocket pops (or bomb pops) often found on ice cream trucks. But guess which pops all the kids chose.
To be fair, one kid did choose a rocket pop over the s’mores. And one sneaky kid chose both! I wonder where his mother was… 😉
Inspired by Marshmallow Ice Cream recipe.
S’mores Popsicles
(gluten-free)
- 1 cup milk of choice (such as almond milk)
- 1/2 a container Ricemellow Crème (You could probably use 5 oz Smuckers marshmallow fluff, which—albeit high in artificial ingredients—is vegan.)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- tiny pinch salt
- optional: melted chocolate or Hot Chocolate Butter
- optional: crumbled graham crackers
Combine first four ingredients in a microwave-safe dish (or small saucepan if you prefer the stove), and microwave 1 minute. Stir so there are no lumps, then pour into paper cups or popsicle molds. If desired, dip in chocolate and sprinkle on graham cracker crumbs once pops are frozen. (If using the hot chocolate butter option, sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs quickly- the chocolate shell hardens fast!)
Did you ever buy anything from the ice cream truck?
When I was little, that annoying ice cream truck song was the best sound in the world! To my sister, it meant Good Humor strawberry shortcake popsicles. To my friends, it meant rocket pops, snow cones, and sherbet pops in the shape of Scooby Doo. To me, it meant one thing and one thing only: chocolate.
Be it a Chipwich, a chocolate éclair, or a neopolitan ice cream sandwich, you can be sure my order was always chocolate. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever tried a rocket pop in my life!
Link of the Day:
I loved those strawberry shortcake bars! Thanks for the reminder. Oh good times. Haven’t gotten anything from the ice cream man in years!
Love this idea! I’ve made smores on a stick before but not frozen – I can’t wait to try a new technique 🙂
Love!
Katie I feel so bad for anyone else at these parties who wants to bring desserts…yours always leave them in the dust!
That’s my kind of s’more!! I do remember the ice cream and how fun it was when they came around. We need more ice cream trucks around today. My kids would go crazy for one!!
Where is Ricemellow Cream sold?
Whole Foods, online, and some regular grocery stores :).
Do you ever eat just plain ol’ chocolate (as opposed to a chocolate dessert)? If so, do you have a particular [vegan] brand that you recommend??
Oh only about 5 times a day ;).
Favorites include: Endangered Species, Taza, Sweet Riot, and Vintage Plantations.
This post is kind of snarky and conceded..not gonna lie.
Huh?
i don’t think so and if it is, so what?! the girl has earned the right to brag, she rocks. I know if i were doing all that Katie does i would brag all the time, shoot i do it now with the few dishes i make, there’s nothing wrong with being confident and celebrating your talents.
How embarrassing! If you’re actually going to take the time out of your day to be malicious and insult someone, you should at least make sure your insults are spelled correctly.
We need to do a blogger meetup in Dallas sometime!!
I’d def choose your pops!
They look and sound so lush 🙂
We had an ice cream truck and the jingle still stays with me.
” home ice cream , the name that rings a bell!”
