Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (5.9-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix – Provides a rich, chocolatey layer.
- 2 ½ cups whole milk – Used to mix with the pudding for a creamy texture.
- 2 ½ cups Cool Whip, defrosted and divided – Adds lightness to both the pudding layer and the marshmallow filling.
- 12 graham crackers, broken in half and divided – The classic base and top layers for the s’mores.
- 5 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature – Adds a tangy, creamy flavor to the marshmallow layer.
- 6 ounces marshmallow creme (a little less than 1 jar) – For that gooey marshmallow flavor without the roasting.
- Pinch of salt – Enhances the flavors.
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Dish: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra parchment hanging over the sides. This will make it easier to lift the frozen s’mores out of the dish later.
- Make the Chocolate Layer: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, 2 ½ cups of whole milk, and ½ cup of defrosted Cool Whip until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Layer the Graham Crackers: Lay half of the graham crackers evenly across the bottom of the baking dish to form the base layer.
- Add the Chocolate Pudding Mixture: Pour the prepared chocolate pudding mixture over the graham crackers and spread it into an even layer. Place the dish in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the next layer.
- Prepare the Marshmallow Cream Layer: In another medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and marshmallow creme until smooth and well combined. Gently fold in the remaining 2 cups of Cool Whip and a pinch of salt.
- Layer the Marshmallow Cream: Carefully spread the cream cheese and marshmallow mixture over the chilled chocolate layer, creating a smooth, even layer.
- Top with Graham Crackers: Place the remaining graham crackers on top of the marshmallow cream layer to form the final s’mores sandwich layer.
- Freeze: Cover the baking dish with foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the s’mores are firm enough to cut.
- Cut and Serve: Once frozen, use the overhanging parchment paper to lift the s’mores out of the dish. Place on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut into 12 squares. Trim any excess frozen filling for neat edges. Enjoy immediately or store in the freezer.
