S’more Sundaes with Nutella

Hello and welcome! We are nearing the end of cooking while on vacation and today I want to throw a little sweet treat in the mix. Because it wouldn’t be a summer vacation without ice cream. And s’mores. So today we have a perfect combination of the two: S’more Sundaes with Nutella. You don’t need a fire to toast these marshmallows and you can sub in hot fudge sauce if you prefer, but the chocolate hazelnut flavor of Nutella makes these S’more Sundaes a little extra special. So let’s get to this quick and easy dessert!

Toasting the Marshmallows

Using the broiler is a super fast, super easy way to get perfectly toasted, melty marshmallows. To make it all go even smoother, I am using mini marshmallows. Each sundae will have three layers of graham crackers and marshmallows. Since I am making two sundaes, I have 6 halves of graham cracker that get topped with a little handful of marshmallows. Line a sheet tray with parchment for easy clean up.

Position the top oven rack on the center-top position, about 6-8 inches away from the heating element. Set the oven to broil. The humidity here in Tybee made the marshmallows clump together, which actually works out ok, it keeps them from rolling off the cracker.

When the broiler is hot, place the marshmallow-topped graham crackers in the oven and just watch them, it will only take about one and a half minutes or so to get the marshmallows to melt and toast to a golden brown.

Nutella

I am just going to microwave a couple tablespoons of Nutella for about 30 seconds to one minute. This will get it to a looser, pourable state.

For the ice cream, I found a vanilla bean gelato, but you can use your favorite vanilla ice cream.

Building the S’more Sundaes

Get a wide, shallow bowl and place one marshmallow graham cracker in the center.

Then, we will do a layer of ice cream. Since this sundae will stack, you don’t need to make perfect rounded ice cream scoops; a large spoon is perfect for the job.

Now this is where you can choose your own adventure: top the ice cream with a little Nutella, or with another graham cracker and marshmallow. I went for another layer of cracker/marshmallow.

On this second layer of marshmallow and cracker, I went for a drizzle of the Nutella.

Then another scoop of ice cream. Top that second ice cream layer with the third and final cracker and marshmallow.

S’more Sundaes with Nutella

Top the final marshmallow layer with a drizzle of Nutella. Grab a spoon and dig in! I won’t lie, this little stack of s’mores, ice cream and Nutella is very sweet. But it’s small and well-worth the indulgence.

You can certainly do fewer stacks; a single layer of each to reduce the overall size of the sundae. It’s a cute, little stacked dessert that is the most impressive and elegant way to serve a s’more!
