Directions

THE CHOCOLATE PUDDING:
- In a medium saucepan over medium low heat, combine the milk, sugar, cocoa, cornstarch and sugar, and stir until smooth. Heat mixture until it just begins to steam.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks. Slowly add the milk mixture to the egg yolks in a small stream while whisking constantly. When fully combined, pour back into the saucepan.
- Place over medium heat and cook until thickened, about 4-5 minutes, while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add vanilla extract. Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour. TO ASSEMBLE THE CAKE:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or with a large bowl and a hand-held mixer, beat the marshmallow cream and heavy cream to soft peaks. Fold in the mini marshmallows.
- Line a 9x5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap. Place a row of graham crackers on the bottom. Top with the marshmallow whipped cream. Then spread on a layer of the chocolate pudding.
- Repeat layers until the pan is full (you should be able to get 3 layers. Top with one final row of graham crackers. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge overnight. THE TOPPINGS:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, or with a large bowl and a hand-held mixer, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla to medium peaks.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the top of the icebox cake. Place a serving platter upside-down on top the cake, then invert the whole thing so that the cake is now sitting on the platter. Gently remove the loaf pan and plastic wrap.
- Cover the cake in the whipped cream. Top with broken graham crackers and mini marshmallows. If desired, use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows, working quickly so you don't melt the whipped cream. Drizzle with chocolate syrup.
