Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 12 graham crackers, broken in half
- 1 (5.9-ounce / 167 grams) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2.5 cups (600 milliliters) whole milk
- 5 ounces (142 grams) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 6 ounces (170 grams) marshmallow creme
Creamy Components:
- 2.5 cups (600 milliliters) Cool Whip, defrosted
Finishing Ingredient:
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare a 9×13-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring excess paper hangs over the sides for easy removal.
- Create the chocolate layer by whisking chocolate pudding mix, milk, and Cool Whip until smooth and creamy in a medium mixing bowl.
- Carefully arrange half of the graham cracker halves across the bottom of the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
- Evenly spread the chocolate pudding mixture over the graham crackers, then refrigerate to set while preparing the next component.
- In a separate bowl, blend cream cheese and marshmallow creme until completely smooth and well integrated.
- Gently fold remaining Cool Whip and a pinch of salt into the cream cheese mixture until uniformly combined.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer, creating a consistent second tier.
- Delicately place remaining graham cracker halves atop the cream cheese layer, pressing lightly to ensure proper adhesion.
- Cover the entire dish with foil and transfer to the freezer, allowing it to solidify for a minimum of 6 hours until layers are completely firm.
- Once fully frozen, lift the dessert from the dish using the parchment paper overhang and transfer to a cutting board.
- Slice the frozen dessert into 12 precise squares using the graham crackers as a cutting guide, trimming any excess filling for clean, uniform edges.
- Serve immediately or store in a zip-top freezer bag for future enjoyment, allowing the s’mores to soften at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before consuming.
Notes
- Chill your baking dish and utensils beforehand to help layers set quickly and evenly.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother blending and easier mixing with marshmallow creme.
- Ensure graham crackers are completely covered by pudding and cream cheese layers to prevent cracking when cutting.
- Freeze for at least 6 hours, but overnight freezing yields the best texture and most stable layers.
- Let s’mores soften for 15 minutes at room temperature for the perfect creamy, slightly melty consistency.
- Keep frozen treats in a sealed container to prevent freezer burn and maintain optimal flavor and texture.
