Ben & Jerry's S'mores Ice Cream Cake: Perfect for the Summer Solstice

Today is the Summer Solstice, and the temperature is hitting triple digits here, so it's the perfect day to make this S'mores Ice Cream Cake. I love Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, and I love S'mores. Use the recipe below, and be sure and watch the video. This is a no-brainer and can be made at the drop of a hat. If you're like me, you probably have all the ingredients in your pantry and freezer! The finished cake looks and tastes amazing! I dropped the extra fudge sauce at the end from the original recipe, because I think the S'mores Ice Cream Cake is rich enough as is. Thanks, Ben & Jerry's!
