S'mores Semifreddo

Last week at a beach picnic, my friend Stephen (coffee aficionado, Big Green Egg aficonado, everything food aficionado) told me about a s'mores variation that I couldn't resist trying. He'd read about s'mores semifreddo online, abandoned it for being too complicated (home-made graham crackers and ice cream, who can blame him?), and struck out on his own with a pared down version using storebought ingredients and a little culinary improv. Adapted from Stephen Cornick.

Ingredients

  • butter, for greasing parchment
  • one 16-ounce container marshmallow fluff
  • 6 graham crackers
  • 2 pints good vanilla ice cream
  • 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
  • 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
