Toasted Marshmallow Ice Cream

THIS LUSCIOUS ice cream beats any you could buy from the store. It is perfect in the heat of summer or a nice treat during the fall, because we live in Arizona and it’s always hot! Don’t be afraid to toast the marshmallows for the ice cream too much, the charred marshmallows add so much flavor. This ice cream can be made into a great sundae with homemade (or not) chocolate sauce, more toasted marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs for crunch.
