Frozen S’mores

Jump to Recipe

Frozen s’mores are everything you love about the campfire treat, but even better on hot summer days because they’re enjoyed straight from the freezer with no bonfire required!

As someone who is obsessed with s’mores, I love recreating the classic dessert in new ways! If you like these frozen s’mores bars, you’ll enjoy my S’mores Crack and S’mores Snack Mix too!

Why you’ll love this recipe:

Frozen s’mores have all the flavors of a traditional s’mores- graham cracker, chocolate, and marshmallow- but with a refreshing twist!

They’re the perfect thing for feeding a crowd that needs to cool off and can easily be made ahead of time. Bring these to your next potluck or summertime cookout and watch how fast they go!

Ingredients you’ll need for no bake frozen s’mores:

• Heavy whipping cream
• Powdered sugar
• Instant chocolate pudding
• Milk
• Marshmallow fluff
• Cream cheese- softened
• Graham crackers

A fun take on traditional hot and gooey smores! Chocolate pudding, whipped cream, cream cheese, and marshmallow fluff get layered between graham crackers, frozen, and served ice cream sandwich style!  

It only takes about 20 minutes to put the s’mores together, so really the hardest part is being patient enough to let them freeze! 😉

How to make the best frozen s’mores:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, whip until the mixture reaches stiff peaks. Set aside.
• In another mixing bowl, combine instant chocolate pudding and milk. Whisk to dissolve any lumps, then let thicken for 5 minutes.
• Once the pudding has thickened, fold in ½ cup of the whipped cream from earlier, then set aside.
• Take the bowl of residual whipped cream from earlier and add in marshmallow fluff and softened cream cheese. Use the electric mixer again to combine until smooth. Set aside.
• Get your 9×13 baking pan and line it with plastic wrap, making sure to leave some overhang on the sides.
• Break the graham cracker sheets in half so that they are now in squares, then cover the bottom of the pan with the squares of graham cracker. I fit 15 squares in the bottom of mine.
• Evenly spread the chocolate pudding mixture on top of the graham crackers, then repeat by spreading the whipped cream and marshmallow fluff layer evenly on top of that.
• Place the remaining squares of graham crackers on top, then lift the plastic wrap overhang up to cover the surface. Transfer the pan to the freezer for a minimum of 6 hours or until frozen solid.
• Once frozen, remove from the pan and slice into squares before serving!

There’s no baking, melting, or campfire needed for these dessert bars. They’re easy to make and keep in the freezer to enjoy anytime!

If you’re looking for a way to cool off on a hot summer day, frozen s’mores are a refreshing and innovative way to enjoy all the flavors of a classic s’mores treat.

My top tips:

• COOL WHIP VS HOMEMADE: To make this recipe even easier, feel free to skip the step of whipping fresh cream and powdered sugar together and just use a tub of thawed Cool Whip (or whipped topping) instead. You’ll just omit the heavy cream and powdered sugar in this recipe and use an 8 oz tub of thawed Cool Whip in its place.
• INSTANT PUDDING MIX: Make sure the chocolate pudding mix you’re using is instant! The instant pudding will thicken without having to cook it on the stove and that’s exactly what we want. Once the instant pudding is combined with milk, it’ll only take about 5 minutes to thicken on its own.
• USING AN ELECTRIC MIXER: I highly recommend using an electric hand mixer for this recipe for multiple reasons! It whips the heavy cream much faster than by hand, it gets any lumps out of the cream cheese, and keeps the marshmallow filling super light and fluffy!
• LINING YOUR PAN: Don’t skip the step of lining your baking pan! This will prevent any sticking and makes it MUCH easier to just lift the bars out of the pan once they’re frozen to slice them up!
• BREAKING THE GRAHAM CRACKERS: I recommend breaking the graham cracker sheets in half before arranging them in the pan. This turns them into squares and the squares act as a guide for where to cut the frozen s’mores into individual sandwich shapes later.
• LAYERING: I like placing dollops of the chocolate pudding mixture down, then spreading into an even layer from there to avoid disrupting the graham crackers underneath. Same thing with the marshmallow layer, I dollop and then spread to avoid disrupting the chocolate pudding underneath.
• SLICING: The longer you leave these frozen s’mores in the freezer, the better they will slice. If you can, I even recommend baking them a day ahead of time and letting them freeze overnight so that the layers have time solidify before slicing.
• STORING: If you aren’t enjoying immediately, you can store these frozen s’mores in the freezer for up to 3 months! Once they’re frozen, go ahead and cut them, then individually wrap them in plastic wrap and stash in a Ziploc bag in the freezer!
