Graham Canyon ice cream is a creamy graham cracker flavored ice cream with ribbons of graham cracker swirl and chunks of chocolate covered honeycomb bits. It is the best ice cream you’ll ever have!

Graham Canyon ice cream copycat is probably the greatest recipe copycat I’ve ever made and it works with both homemade and store-bought ice cream, though I will now, just as always, use Tillamook since it’s so easy.

Cade is insanely ice cream obsessed and since discovering Graham Canyon from the BYU Creamery or as Handel’s calls it, Graham Central Station, it has quickly risen to one of his most favorite flavors. Literally the most delicious ice cream ever and I think I’ve made every neighbor and friend in Davis County try it.

I decided I had to finally figure out a copycat version for Cade’s birthday this year. We used to be able to find graham canyon in a couple of different spots up here in Davis County, but I haven’t been able to find it in months. Since BYU is a little too far away for an ice cream run, I brought the BYU creamery into my kitchen! Best birthday ever for Cade this year!
