Ingredients
- 1 box (5.9 oz) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2½ cups cold whole milk
- 2½ cups whipped topping (like Cool Whip), divided
- 12 full sheets of graham crackers, halved (24 squares)
- 5 oz cream cheese, softened
- 6 oz marshmallow creme (about ¾ jar)
- Pinch of salt
👩🍳 Instructions – Step-by-Step
1. Prepare the base: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, letting the edges hang over the sides. Arrange 12 graham cracker halves in a single layer on the bottom.
2. Make the chocolate layer: Whisk the pudding mix and cold milk in a bowl for 2 minutes. Let sit for a few more minutes to thicken. Fold in ½ cup of whipped topping until smooth. Spread over the graham crackers in the pan and place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
3. Create the marshmallow layer: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy. Mix in the marshmallow creme and a pinch of salt. Fold in the remaining whipped topping until the mixture is light and airy. Carefully spread this over the chilled chocolate layer.
4. Add the top layer: Place the remaining 12 graham cracker halves on top, aligning them with the bottom crackers to create squares.
5. Freeze to set: Cover the dish and freeze for at least 6 hours, or overnight for firmer texture.
6. Slice and serve: Remove from the freezer and let thaw for 10 minutes. Lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into squares. Serve immediately or wrap and store in the freezer.
Tips for Perfect Frozen S’mores
- Whipped topping must be thawed for smooth folding—never mix it in frozen.
- For a sweeter twist, stir in chocolate chips or mini marshmallows into the pudding layer.
- To make clean cuts, dip a sharp knife in warm water and wipe it dry between each slice.
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips Frozen S’mores
Frozen s’mores are perfect for prepping ahead. Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months. They’re ideal for pulling out one at a time for a quick dessert or packing in lunchboxes on hot days. Just let them sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Customization Ideas for Frozen S’mores
One of the best parts about this recipe is how easy it is to customize. Swap out the chocolate pudding for peanut butter pudding or cookies and cream flavor. Add a thin layer of caramel or Nutella between the layers for a decadent twist. You can even use chocolate graham crackers or gluten-free cookies for dietary needs.
