RECIPE: S’MORES ICE CREAM PIE

Ingredients For The Crust

 
Ingredients For The Filling

 
Ingredients For The Topping

 
Preparation

1. MAKE the crust. Combine the graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, salt and butter and press into a 9-inch pie dish. Put in the freezer while you prepare the filling. (For a frozen pie, this is a better option than baking and cooling the crust.)

2. MAKE the filling. Whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and marshmallow cream until smooth. With an electric mixer, beat the heavy whipping cream to medium peaks. Gently fold into the marshmallow mixture.

3. SPOON the filling into the pie dish. Depending on how deep your dish is, you may not need all of the filling. Freeze for at least 2 hours.

4. SPREAD the fudge sauce over the top of the pie and freeze until the pie is completely firm, at least 4 hours or overnight. When ready to serve…

5. TOP with the mini marshmallows and graham cracker pieces. For easier slicing, dip a sharp knife into hot water and wipe dry with a towel in between cuts.

Panzanella, a traditional Tuscan salad of bread and tomatoes, is delicious way to use summer’s best produce and one- or two-day-old bread, which is softened by the vinaigrette.

Panzanella originated as peasant food, but can be found at fine modern Italian restaurants and at other stylish restaurants.

But you don’t need a restaurant. You need four main ingredient types, plus whatever extras you like:

 
To turn panzanella into a main dinner dish, add a burrata, slices of prosciutto or other Italian charcuterie, cubed grilled meats or poultry, shellfish, even jammy boiled eggs.

*Elote topping options include butter, cotija cheese, chili powder or Tajin seasoning, lemon or lime juice, mayonnaise, sour cream and salt. You can also add seeds, especially unshelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas).

†When golden balsamic vinegar is required, you could substitute dark balsamic; but it will darken the color of the corn. White balsamic vinegar was created to use on lighter-colored food, but it could alter the appearance of the final dish (here’s more about it). If you don’t want to darken the dish or purchase white balsamic, you can substitute white wine vinegar or rice wine vinegar.
