- Line 9 x 13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- Spread chocolate ice cream into bottom of baking dish, smooth with offset spatula.
- Put baking dish in freezer for at least 1 hour to set chocolate layer, it does not need to be frozen solid.
- Add marshmallow fluff to large mixing bowl with whipped topping, and cream cheese. Beat together with hand mixer until smooth.
- Spread marshmallow mixture over the chocolate mixture in one even layer, smooth top with wet offset spatula. Freeze for another hour until both layers are completely set.

GRAHAM CRACKERS:
- Heat oven to 350 ̊F.
- Combine flours, sugar, baking soda, and salt in food processor. Pulse until mixed.
- Add butter to food processor and pulse until mixture is sandy and butter is in pea-sized chunks.
- Add honey, milk, and vanilla to food processor while blade is running. Dough should come together in 1-2 minutes.
