Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Layer
- 1 (5.9-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup Cool Whip, defrosted
Cream Cheese Marshmallow Layer
- 5 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 7 ounces marshmallow creme
- 2 cups Cool Whip, defrosted
- Pinch of salt
Other
- 12 graham crackers, broken in half (24 pieces total)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra parchment hanging over the edges. This will help you easily lift out the frozen s’mores later.
- Make Pudding Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix, whole milk, and 1/2 cup of defrosted Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
- Layer Graham Crackers and Pudding: Arrange half of the graham cracker halves evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread the pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers. Place in the refrigerator to chill slightly while preparing the next layer.
- Mix Cream Cheese Layer: In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese and marshmallow creme until smooth. Gently fold in the remaining 2 cups of defrosted Cool Whip along with a pinch of salt until fully combined and fluffy.
- Assemble Layers: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chocolate pudding layer. Top with the remaining graham cracker halves arranged evenly on top to form the final layer.
- Freeze: Cover the dish with foil and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the layers are firm enough to cut through cleanly.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment overhang to lift the frozen layered dessert out of the dish. Place it on a cutting board, use the graham crackers as guides, and slice into 12 squares. Trim any excess frozen filling from the edges.
- Enjoy: Serve the frozen s’mores slightly softened. If stored frozen, let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before eating to soften slightly for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Using whole milk enhances the creaminess of the pudding, but 2% milk can be used as a lighter alternative.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Defrost the Cool Whip in the refrigerator overnight for best consistency.
- You can substitute marshmallow creme with homemade marshmallow fluff if desired.
- Leftover frozen s’mores should be stored in an airtight container or zip-top freezer bag to prevent freezer burn.
- Allow the s’mores to soften slightly before eating to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
