S’mores Explosion Cookie Dough Ice Cream Roll – A Frozen Dessert Dream Come True
Some desserts are subtle and refined… and then there are desserts like this one. Loud, indulgent, over-the-top, and completely unapologetic. This s’mores explosion cookie dough ice cream roll is pure fun in dessert form—a frozen swirl packed with gooey marshmallows, melty chocolate, buttery graham cracker crunch, and chunks of edible cookie dough tucked into every bite.
Inspired by viral ice cream rolls and classic campfire s’mores, this dessert takes everything nostalgic and turns the volume way up. Instead of scooping, the ice cream is spread thin, frozen flat, and rolled into thick spirals that show off every delicious layer. When you slice into one, it’s a full-on dessert explosion—cold, creamy, chewy, crunchy, and chocolatey all at once.
What makes this recipe especially lovable is that it doesn’t require an ice cream machine. You’re using a simple no-churn base that freezes beautifully and stays creamy thanks to whipped cream and sweetened condensed milk. From there, it’s all about layering: edible cookie dough for richness, chocolate for depth, marshmallows for gooey sweetness, and graham crackers for that unmistakable s’mores flavor.
This is the kind of dessert that steals the show at parties, makes kids’ eyes light up, and has adults sneaking seconds. It’s playful, dramatic, and endlessly customizable—but this s’mores version is pure magic. Whether you serve it sliced like sushi rolls, stacked high in a bowl, or drizzled with extra chocolate, one thing is guaranteed: nobody forgets this dessert.
