Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (from about 6 crackers)
  • 3/4 cup pecans, finely ground
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup store-bought chocolate syrup
  • 2 quarts vanilla ice cream, slightly softened
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Method

  • Stir the graham cracker crumbs, pecans, sugar and butter in a bowl until combined.
  • Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Drizzle with the chocolate syrup and freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Spread the vanilla ice cream over the chocolate-drizzled crust in a smooth, even layer, packing the ice cream into the pan.
  • Freeze until firm, about 2 hours.
  • Remove the cake from the freezer and top with the marshmallows.
  • Toast the topping with a kitchen torch or broil about 4 inches away from the heat until the marshmallows are puffed and evenly browned, rotating the pan as needed.
  • Return the cake to the freezer for 15 minutes.
  • Run a knife around the edge of the cake before removing the side of the pan.
  • Serve immediately or freeze for up to 2 days.
