These Frozen S’mores are a cool, creamy dessert bar layered with chocolate pudding, fluffy marshmallow filling, and graham crackers. They taste like a classic s’more, only chilled, sliceable, and perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (5.9-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding
  • 2 ½ cups whole milk
  • 2 ½ cups Cool Whip, thawed and divided
  • 12 graham crackers, broken in half and divided
  • 5 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 7 ounces marshmallow creme
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure to leave a generous overhang on the sides. That extra paper will make it much easier to lift the finished Frozen S’mores out of the pan later.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the pudding mix, whole milk, and 1/2 cup Cool Whip together until the mixture turns smooth, thick, and fully combined. Keep whisking until there are no dry streaks and the chocolate filling looks creamy.
  3. Arrange half of the graham crackers in a single layer across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Try to cover the entire surface as evenly as possible so the dessert slices into tidy squares after freezing.
  4. Spread the chocolate pudding mixture over the graham cracker layer and smooth it into an even sheet. Use a spatula to push the filling all the way to the corners. Place the pan in the freezer long enough for the chocolate layer to firm up slightly before adding the next layer.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese and marshmallow creme together until the mixture looks smooth and fluffy. There should be no visible lumps of cream cheese. Once the mixture is silky, fold in the remaining 2 cups Cool Whip along with a pinch of salt. Mix gently so the filling stays light and airy.
  6. Spread the marshmallow filling evenly over the chilled chocolate layer. Work carefully so the layer stays smooth and level. Place the remaining graham crackers over the top, pressing them down gently to help everything adhere.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with foil and freeze for about 6 hours, or until the dessert is firm enough to cut cleanly. For the best texture and structure, give the bars enough time to fully set before slicing.
  8. Once frozen, use the parchment overhang to lift the dessert out of the baking dish and transfer it to a cutting board. Use the graham crackers as a guide and cut the slab into 12 squares. Trim away any filling that squeezes out along the edges for a cleaner presentation.
  9. Serve the Frozen S’mores while they are still slightly softened, or store them in the freezer for later. If they are frozen very solid, let them rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes before eating so the texture becomes easier to bite into.

Notes

  • Protein version:
    For a high-protein spin on these Frozen S’mores, place 5 graham crackers in a 9×9-inch pan. Melt 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil, spread the melted chocolate over the grahams, and freeze for about 5 minutes until set. Mix 1 scoop vanilla protein powder into the Cool Whip, or use coconut whip if you prefer, then spread it over the chocolate layer. Add more graham crackers on top and freeze overnight.

 

  • Storage:
    Wrap each s’more sandwich individually in plastic wrap, then place the wrapped pieces in a freezer-safe container or bag. They will keep well in the freezer for up to 2 months.
