1
For the S'mores Chunks: Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place 6 graham crackers down in 2 rows of 3, touching completely with no spaces in between. Cover evenly with marshmallows. To prevent burning, make sure none of the graham crackers are peeking through. Broil. Don't walk away. Rotate the sheet pan around for even broiling. Remove when marshmallows are just starting to burn.
2
Immediately cover the marshmallows with the other 6 graham crackers. Press down firmly so they stick together like sandwiches.
3
Break apart or chop chocolate. Melt over low heat or in a double boiler. Pour melted chocolate over the graham cracker sandwiches. Spread chocolate all over and let it drip down over the edges. Freeze.
4
Chop into bite-sized pieces. It will fall apart. That's okay. This leads to all kinds of wonderful textures and flavors in the ice cream. Freeze in a jar or a freezer bag.
5
For the Burnt Marshmallow Ice Cream Custard: Set up an ice bath by placing several cups of ice in a large bowl. Place a smaller bowl inside the larger bowl. Rest a fine strainer on top of the smaller bowl. Set aside.
6
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the yolks, half and half, and salt. Set aside.
7
Preheat broiler. Spread marshmallows evenly on the bottom of a medium-sized ovenproof pot. Broil until tops of marshmallows are nicely browned and just about to burn (be careful, because too many burned marshmallows will make a bitter ice cream).
8
Over medium heat, pour heavy cream over broiled marshmallows. Whisking the whole time, bring it to just under the boil. Slowly whisk hot marshmallow cream into yolk/half and half mixture. Pour back in pot and cook over medium heat, stirring the whole time with a wooden spoon. The custard is done when you drag your finger across the back of the spoon and a trail lingers.
9
Pour custard through strainer and into smaller bowl. Fill larger bowl up with water until it rises to the level of the custard. Once cool, cover and place custard in fridge overnight.
10
Place a serving bowl in the freezer. The cold ice cream custard will be very thick. That's normal. Churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Scoop into bowl and fold in at least 2 cups of the s'mores chunks. Freeze for a few hours or overnight. Eat!

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions
