Chocolate Ice Cream

Instructions
1
Begin by lining a 9 by 5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap, letting the ends hang over the sides for easy removal later.
2
Take one whole graham cracker and break it into 4 pieces. Spread 1/2 cup of marshmallow cream on one side of the whole cracker and one piece, then place it in the pan, cream side up.
3
Spoon the softened chocolate ice cream over the graham cracker layers and smooth the top evenly with a spatula.
4
Next, take another whole graham cracker and one more piece, spread with 1 cup of marshmallow cream, and place it over the chocolate ice cream layer.
5
Layer the softened vanilla ice cream on top of the graham cracker, smoothing it out to create a uniform top layer.
6
Spread the remaining graham cracker and the remaining piece with the last 1/2 cup of marshmallow cream. Lay these on top of the vanilla ice cream, with the marshmallow side facing down.
7
Wrap the loaf pan tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap and freeze until the cake is firm, approximately 6 hours.
8
To serve, gently unwrap the cake and use the plastic wrap to lift it out of the pan. If it’s difficult to remove, dip the bottom of the pan in hot water for a few seconds.
9
Invert the cake onto a serving platter, remove the plastic wrap, and allow it to sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly before slicing.
10
Serve each slice with a generous drizzle of warm hot fudge sauce for the ultimate indulgence.
