Best Frozen S’mores

Frozen S’mores are the perfect no-bake summer treat—cool, creamy, and loaded with classic s’mores flavor. With layers of whipped chocolate filling and marshmallow cream between graham crackers, these frozen bars taste like s’mores straight from the campfire, but with a refreshing, ice cream sandwich twist. They’re easy to make ahead and keep on hand in the freezer for whenever I want a sweet, chilled bite.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s simple, nostalgic, and always a crowd-pleaser. The chocolate layer is rich and smooth, the marshmallow is sweet and fluffy, and the graham crackers add that perfect crunch. Plus, there’s no baking required, and I can keep them in the freezer all week. Whether I’m making them for a summer party or just treating myself, they always disappear fast.

ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

graham crackers
instant chocolate pudding mix
milk
whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
marshmallow creme (fluff)
cream cheese, softened
vanilla extract
optional: mini chocolate chips or melted chocolate for drizzling

directions

1. I line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper and arrange a layer of graham crackers on the bottom.

2. In a bowl, I whisk together the pudding mix and milk until thick, then fold in the whipped topping to make a light chocolate mousse. I spread this evenly over the graham cracker layer.

3. In another bowl, I beat the cream cheese until smooth, then mix in the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract until fluffy. I spread this marshmallow layer over the chocolate.

4. I top everything with another layer of graham crackers, pressing gently to create a sandwich-like structure.

5. I cover the pan and freeze the bars for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.

6. Once frozen, I slice them into squares and serve immediately—or store them in a freezer bag for later.

Servings and timing

This recipe makes about 12–16 frozen s’mores bars. Prep time is 15 minutes, and freeze time is at least 4 hours.

Variations

Sometimes I use chocolate graham crackers for an extra chocolatey bite. I’ve also added peanut butter to the marshmallow layer for a twist, or sprinkled mini chocolate chips between the layers. For extra indulgence, I dip half the bar in melted chocolate before freezing again.

storage/reheating

I store frozen s’mores in an airtight container or freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. They’re meant to be enjoyed straight from the freezer—no reheating needed.

FAQs

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping?

Yes, I’ve used homemade whipped cream, but I stabilize it with a bit of powdered sugar so it holds up well when frozen.

Do I need to soften the graham crackers first?

No, but after freezing, the graham crackers soften just enough to be easy to bite while still holding their shape.

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes, I use plant-based pudding mix, dairy-free whipped topping, and vegan cream cheese to make a dairy-free version.

Can I make them ahead of time?

Absolutely. I often make a batch a day or two in advance—they’re perfect for keeping in the freezer until I need them.

Can I add marshmallows instead of fluff?

I prefer marshmallow fluff for the texture, but I’ve melted marshmallows with a bit of butter to create a similar spreadable layer.

Conclusion

Frozen S’mores are everything I love about the classic campfire treat—without the fire and with an extra-cool twist. They’re rich, creamy, and perfectly refreshing on a hot day. Whether I make them for a party or stash a few in the freezer just for me, these sweet bars always hit the spot.
