• 6 reduced-fat chocolate sandwich cookies, crushed

S’mores Topping

Instructions

Bake the Brownie Base

• Preheat your oven and prepare the brownie batter according to package or homemade instructions.
• Spread into a parchment-lined 9-inch springform pan or round cake pan.
• Bake as directed and let it cool completely in the pan.

Prepare the Ice Cream Layer

• In a large bowl, gently fold the softened frozen yogurt into the whipped topping until well combined.
• Stir in the crushed sandwich cookies.
• Spread the mixture evenly over the cooled brownie layer.
• Smooth the top with a spatula and place in the freezer for at least 2 hours or until firm.

Add the S’mores Topping

• Once the cake is firm, sprinkle mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers on top.
• Lightly press toppings into the surface.
• Return to the freezer for another 2 hours to fully set.

Serve

• Remove from the freezer 5–10 minutes before slicing.
• Run a warm knife around the edges of the pan if needed.
• Drizzle with chocolate syrup just before serving, if desired.
