It’s funny how a simple meal can bring back awesome memories.  S’mores is one such meal, that for me really makes me think of a simpler time. I remember going on a family vacations and roasting S’mores with my family by the beach.  It’s memories like this that I treasure during rougher times.  The idea of a S’more & it’s simplicity is what helped me create my S’mores Tostada!

Graham Cracker Tostada Shell

3 homemade flour tortillas 10 inches

1 oz Challenge Dairy spreadable butter

1 oz granulated sugar

1 oz cinnamon

Ring mold or cookie cutter

Butter each side of 10 inch tortilla & sprinkle heavy amounts of sugar & cinnamon. Use a ring mold to cut out the tortilla into smaller pieces. Grill tortilla on a 300 degree hot griddle for approximately 6 minutes on each side or until the tortilla has become golden and crunchy.

Graham Cracker Ice Cream

3/4 cup half and half cream (Extremely cold I normally put it in the freezer for 20 minutes)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 cups frozen half and half (use ice cube trays to make the pieces smaller)

Add ingredients to Vitamin blender in order listed. Blend, stir, blend, etc. until consistency of ice cream. With a Vitamix, this takes approx. 30-40 seconds using the tamper to push the ice into the blades. On my Vitamix Ascent a3500 I use the dessert preset.

Garnish

Hersey Chocolate Bar

Marshmallows

To assemble my tostadas I start of with my tostada shell then I add my chocolate bar pieces.  I use my Searzall torch, you can also use culinary torch, to melt the chocolate then I place the marshmallow on top of the melted chocolate.  I then use my Searzall to give a little caramelization and help the marshmallow melt.  I then top it with a scoop of the graham cracker ice cream.
