I live in a house with no central air, so I’m always looking for a way to keep cool in the summer. S’mores Ice Cream Cake is possibly the best way I’ve found yet to get my core temp down. Think: peanut-graham crust, layers of ice cream, fluffernutter goo, fudge sauce and a mountain of toastie marshies. I scaled it down to fit in my six-inch springform, and also only used two layers of ice cream (coffee was my flavor choice) separated by the peanut fluff instead of the original three. It still weighted a ton…this is a substantial treat. The cake takes a bit of time to put together, as it needs freezing after every step, but it is so good! Seriously, my childhood dreams all came true in one fabulous sugar high.

If you don’t have the book Baking with Dorie: Sweet, Salty & Simple by Dorie Greenspan yet, get it and join us as we bake through it every second and fourth Tuesdays! Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll and all the other participation deets over on Tuesdays with Dorie!

I love your mini…and I am SO glad you still added the peanut butter fluff as we all thought that was a great part. My family wants me to make this again…super big hit at my house! I can’t believe you have no A/C living on the East Coast…wow..living on the West I can never handle the humidity when we visit so I am super impressed!

Ice cream is the best cool dessert. We loved this one too and it did weigh a ton. It made a fabulous birthday treat.

Your cake is a work of art. I enjoyed this more than was probably good for me.
