Frozen S’mores

These frozen s’mores bars feature all the flavors of a classic s’more but in frozen ice cream form to help you cool off on a hot summer day! It has layers of chocolate pudding, cream cheese, and marshmallow fluff mixed with whipped topping sandwiched between graham crackers.

Why this recipe works

Some call them frozen s’mores sandwiches, and some call them frozen s’mores bars. Whatever you call them, they’re the perfect summer treat. They remind us of smores icebox cake, but in a handheld portable fashion making them great for backyard BBQs, pool days, or after a day out in the summer heat.

S’mores are a summer staple but they’re also enjoyed in fall when it’s bonfire season! If you’re crazy over s’mores like I am, see my smores bars and smores dip, and don’t miss my s’mores cupcakes and smores cookies for more ways to incorporate the chocolatey marshmallow goodness into your life.

GRAHAM CRACKERS – We start with regular honey graham crackers for this. If you’d like, you can try chocolate graham crackers or even cinnamon.

LAYERS – We recommend sticking with instant chocolate pudding for this recipe, the chocolate layer mimics the consistency of a fudgsicle. If you don’t have marshmallow fluff at your local grocery store, you should be safe to microwave regular marshmallows in a couple of 5-second intervals being sure to not overheat them. You will need about 2 cups worth of melted marshmallows in place of the 8 oz of marshmallow fluff.

How to Make Frozen S’mores

These step by step photos and instructions are here to help you visualize how to make this recipe. You can Jump to Recipe to get the printable version of this recipe, complete with measurements and instructions at the bottom.

1. Line a 9×13 pan with parchment paper allowing the parchment paper to hang up the sides creating a “handle”.
2. In a large bowl make the instant pudding with the milk.
3. Pour the pudding into the casserole dish and spread evenly. Place into the freezer to chill while making the marshmallow layer.
4. In another large bowl beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer. Add the marshmallow fluff and beat again until combined. Fold in the whipped topping.
5. Use a rubber spatula to top the chocolate pudding with the marshmallow mix and spread evenly into a layer. Return to freezer for 4-24 hours.
6. Once frozen, remove the layers from the casserole dish and place onto a cutting board. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.
7. Break the graham crackers in half and place them onto the layers.
8. Use a hot, sharp knife to cut around the graham crackers and trim the edges of excess chocolate and marshmallow.
9. Use another cutting board or a sheet pan to flip the sandwiches over and top the other side.
10. Enjoy immediately or allow the filling to melt slightly so the graham crackers really stick.

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Store any leftover s’mores bar in the freezer. We have not tested this, but you should be able to freeze them tightly and individually wrapped in waxed paper then placed in a plastic bag. Storing leftover frozen s’mores with the graham crackers on should last for around 3 days before the crackers begin to soften too much. See the question below on a way to get around this.

Absolutely! You can make these frozen s’mores 24 hours in advance. Keep in the freezer and allow them to thaw for 20 minutes before enjoying. If you want to make them further in advance, follow the instructions for the filling layer (pudding and fluff), freeze, then cut the filling into squares. Keep this frozen until ready to serve. When ready, take the filling out of the freezer then place the graham crackers onto them. This will help keep the graham crackers fresh as they tend to get soft when kept in the freezer. Let the graham crackers rest on the filling layer for 20 minutes before enjoying, allowing the crackers to adhere to the filling.

Serving Suggestions

If you want to take these frozen s’mores along with you somewhere in a cooler, be sure they are kept in lots of ice (preferably dry ice) and wrapped in a plastic bag or parchment paper.

You can enjoy these bars immediately but we find it best to allow them to sit at room temperature for 20 minutes before devouring. Be prepared for messy fingers and faces!
