Frozen S’mores

Frozen S’mores are a unique, sweet dessert that everyone will love. It has the chocolate and marshmallow flavors you would get from gooey s’mores, but the texture of an ice cream sandwich. The graham crackers soften slightly in the freezer and turn into the same kind of cookie used for an ice cream sandwich.

I like to make this to bring to BBQs or to serve at ones that I host. It’s the perfect treat to enjoy cooling down from the hot sun. It tastes good, it’s simple to make, and I never have any leftovers. It has a texture similar to ice cream, except it’s lighter and fluffier.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• It’s easy to make: This is a very simple recipe to put together. It takes around 20-25 minutes to prepare the filling mixture, and then the freezer does the rest.
• It’s only 4 ingredients: I use just 4 ingredients for this recipe. The pudding and fluff are the chocolate and marshmallow elements, while Cool Whip makes it creamy and fluffy. Then, of course, you have the graham crackers!
• It’s great for a party: Consider making this recipe for frozen s’mores for your next gathering this summer. Kids AND adults will go crazy for it. It’s one of my favorite unique s’mores dessert ideas.

Ingredients

Below is everything I used to make this fun and unique s’mores recipe. They are common ingredients you can easily find at the grocery store.

• Graham crackers: I use regular honey graham crackers for this recipe. I like to break them into squares to make serving easier and to fit them in the pan better. If you like, you can leave them whole.
• Marshmallow fluff: I like to use fluff because it mixes well with the Cool Whip. It will not work as well if you melt marshmallows, so I don’t recommend that.
• Cool Whip: You can use the Cool Whip frozen or thawed. I prefer thawed because it’s easier to work with. However, don’t fret if you forget to take it out of the freezer! It will just take a little longer to mix.
• Chocolate pudding: I find this is the best way to get the chocolate flavor into this frozen s’mores dessert without compromising the texture. It adds a lovely creaminess as well. Make the pudding yourself or use store-bought!

Variations

• Chocolate graham crackers: Make them with chocolate graham crackers instead of the original for an extra chocolatey twist.
• Cookies and cream: Fold in crushed Oreo cookies into the chocolate pudding layer to make a cookies and cream version.
• Peanut butter: Add chopped peanut butter cups and finish the top of the bars with a drizzle of peanut butter for a salty flavor.

How to Make Frozen S’mores Bars

Here are the steps needed to prepare your frozen s’mores. Combine the fluff and Cool Whip with an electric mixer until fluffy before you get started with assembly.

Step 1: Place the graham crackers. Lay out a single layer of graham cracker squares into the bottom of the prepared pan.

Step 2: Add the fillings. Spread the marshmallow mixture on top of the crackers, and then the chocolate pudding on top of that.

Step 3: Top with remaining crackers and freeze. Place the remaining graham crackers on top of the two mixtures. Stick the pan in the freezer for about 6 hours or until everything is set.

Step 4: Slice and serve. Finally, slice them up and enjoy!

Instructions

 

• Break your graham crackers in half so you have 30 squares. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan with half of the graham crackers squares and set aside.
• Use an electric hand mixer to whisk together the marshmallow fluff and cool whip in a large mixing bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until they are smooth and homogenous.
• Pour the cool whip mixture on top of the graham crackers and use a spatula to spread it into an even layer.
• Use your spatula to spread the chocolate pudding over the top of the cool whip mixture. Top with the remaining graham cracker squares.
• Transfer your s’mores bars to the freezer for about 6 hours, or until the pudding and cool whip have set.
• Slice your bars into 15 evenly sized pieces, serve, and enjoy!

Notes

• Store your frozen s’mores in an airtight container or tightly covered in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Line the 9x13 pan with parchment paper to make the bars easier to lift out of the pan and slice.
• Cover them tightly with the plastic wrap, touching the surface to prevent ice crystals.
