Ingredients to Make Frozen S’mores
💗 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 🍰 9×13 Baking Dish
- 📜 Parchment Paper – line the bottom of the baking dish for easy removal and clean slices
- 🍫 Graham Crackers – try chocolate graham crackers for an extra chocolatey dessert
- 🥣 Instant Chocolate Pudding – be sure to use instant pudding, not the cook-and-serve variety
- 🧀 Cream Cheese – softened for a smooth, creamy filling
- 🥛 Milk – 2% or whole milk works best for a rich and creamy texture; non-dairy milk has not been tested
- ☁️ Cool Whip – or substitute homemade whipped cream
- 🍥 Marshmallow Fluff
- 🧂 Salt – just a pinch to balance the sweetness and enhance the chocolate flavor
How to Make Frozen S’mores
Line a 9×13 baking dish with parchment paper or foil. Leave an overhang on all sides. This makes it easy to lift the s’mores out after they freeze.
Break the graham crackers in half and place 15 squares in the baking dish.
In a large mixing bowl combine the pudding mix and milk. Using an electric hand mixer, whisk until the pudding is smooth and starts to set, about 3-5 minutes. Fold in 1/2 of Cool Whip and mix until incorporated.
Spread pudding mix into an even layer over the top of the graham crackers. Place the dish in the freezer and start the marshmallow layer.
In another mixing bowl beat together the marshmallow cream, softened cream cheese, salt and the remaining Cool Whip.
Remove the dish from the freezer and spread the marshmallow mixture evenly over the chocolate layer.
Place remaining graham crackers over the top. Cover with foil. Freeze 6 hours, or overnight.
Remove the s’mores from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang and place on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice to make 15 bars.
Let the bars soften 5-10 minutes at room temperature before enjoying.
Wrap any leftovers individually in Saran Wrap or foil and store in the freezer to enjoy later.

- Make sure your Cool Whip is thawed before using it.
FAQ’s
Do frozen s’mores need to stay frozen?
Yes! Frozen s’mores are best stored in the freezer until you’re ready to serve them. If left at room temperature for too long, the filling will soften and lose its signature frozen texture.
How long do frozen s’mores last in the freezer?
Stored in an airtight container, frozen s’mores will keep well for up to 2 months. For the best texture and flavor, enjoy them within the first few weeks.
Can I make frozen s’mores ahead of time?
Absolutely! Frozen s’mores are a great make-ahead dessert. Prepare them a day or two before serving, or keep a batch in the freezer for whenever a sweet craving strikes.
How do I cut frozen s’mores neatly?
For clean slices, lift the dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before slicing with a sharp knife.
Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?
Yes! Homemade whipped cream works well in this recipe. Just make sure it is whipped to stiff peaks so the filling holds its shape when frozen.
Can I use chocolate graham crackers?
Definitely. Chocolate graham crackers add even more chocolate flavor and make these frozen treats taste even more like classic s’mores.
Do frozen s’mores taste like traditional campfire s’mores?
They have all the flavors you love—chocolate, marshmallow, and graham crackers—but in a cool, creamy frozen dessert form. They’re perfect for enjoying s’mores flavor without needing a campfire.
Can I add extra toppings?
Of course! Try mini chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, chocolate drizzle, or even chopped candy bars for an extra indulgent treat.
Why is my filling not setting up?
Be sure you’re using instant pudding mix, not cook-and-serve pudding. Also, allow enough freezing time so the filling becomes firm before slicing.
Can I make these for a party?
Yes! Frozen s’mores are perfect for summer parties, cookouts, birthdays, and potlucks because they can be made ahead and served straight from the freezer.
