Waiting for it to freeze so you can eat it is the hard part.
The toasted vegan marshmallows make this Vegan S'mores Ice Cream taste like s'mores. I highly recommend toasting them. It's not a step you want to skip!

🍫 What Are S'mores Made Of?
S'mores are made with a chocolate candy bar and marshmallows sandwiched between two graham crackers.
This Vegan S'mores Ice Cream is made with coconut milk, sweetened condensed coconut milk, vegan gluten-free graham crackers, vegan marshmallows, and vegan dark chocolate baking chunks.
🌱 Are Marshmallows Vegan?
Most marshmallows are not vegan because they contain gelatin. Thanks to companies like Dandies, who make vegan marshmallows, vegans can enjoy them too.
Where Can I Find Vegan Marshmallows?
Whole Foods carries Dandies vegan marshmallows. They can be also be found at many natural grocery stores and on Amazon.
I read that Trader Joe's has vegan marshmallows, but that they are a seasonal item. I've never tried them myself.
What Graham Crackers Are Vegan and Gluten Free?
For this recipe, I used Kinnikinnick S'moreables Graham Style Crackers. The only other brand that I've seen that makes vegan gluten-free graham crackers is Nairn's Oat Grahams.
Both are delicious. They can be found at natural grocery stores and on Amazon. I buy both brands at my local Sprout's.
🧾 Ingredients
- Full-fat coconut milk: Makes a great ice cream base. It's rich and creamy.
- Sweetened condensed coconut milk: Adds more creaminess and a wonderful sweet rich flavor.
- Vanilla extract: Because of course! It adds a nuanced floral note that's difficult to describe.
- Toasted vegan marshmallows: The key word here is toasted. It isn't s'mores ice cream without the toasted marshmallows! Another recipe using vegan marshmallows is my Vegan Rocky Road Ice Cream recipe.
- Dark chocolate baking chunks: For a deep rich chocolaty flavor. You could also use chocolate chips.
- Vegan Gluten-free graham crackers: To add some crunch. I used gluten-free because I am gluten intolerant. You could use whatever your favorite is.

Hi! I am getting ready to make this recipe, but I'm confused about the measurements for the condensed coconut milk. You indicate we should use "11.25 ounces sweetened condensed coconut milk (1 cup)". However, 1 cup is 8 ounces. This makes 11.25 ounces more like 1.5 cups. Please advise! Thank you so much!
Willow Moon says
You are correct 8 ounces = 1 cup, however 1 cup is the amount that is actually in the can of sweetened condensed coconut milk. So you’ll be using the whole can if you buy Natures Charm. I will add that to all my recipes so others aren’t confused. Thanks!
