Ingredients
- chocolate graham cracker crumbs – we used the kind that comes pre-crushed in a box but you use also use full graham crackers and break them up using a food processer.
- butter – for holding the graham cracker crumbs together to form the crust
- vanilla ice cream – I like to use vanilla bean ice cream, yum!
- cake – make use of leftover cake of if you don’t have any cake on hand, you can buy two or three cupcakes
