EASY FROZEN S’MORE SANDWICHES

It’s summer, which means it’s time for the blogging world (and the rest of the world?) to go crazy about s’mores again. Seriously, s’mores are like the pumpkin spice of July, right? Let’s make s’mores everything! And it turns out I’m just as guilty as all the other bloggers. This year I’ve already shared s’mores cake mix cookies and s’mores crack (aka Golden Graham bars), both of which are ridiculously delicious.

Last year, I shared my favorite s’mores pizza recipe, which has a graham cracker crust and is just about the best way to get the gooey goodness of s’mores without a campfire. Today I’m reaching into the archives to share this recipe for frozen s’mores, which I first published three years ago.

These frozen s’mores are the perfect treat for a hot summer day because you get all the chocolate/marshmallow/graham cracker taste in a cold refreshing format. They’re easy to make and keep in the freezer so you can hand them out next time you have a bunch of kids running through the sprinkler in your backyard.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These frozen s’more sandwiches are a delightful twist on the classic campfire treat, offering all the familiar flavors in a cool, refreshing format. They’re perfect for summer gatherings, easy to prepare, and a hit with both kids and adults alike.

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• 9×13 inch pan
• Foil or parchment paper
• Medium bowl
• Whisk
• Electric mixer
• Cutting board

Ingredients

• 1 box instant chocolate pudding (6 serving size)
• 2.5 cups cold milk
• 16 graham crackers
• 7 oz marshmallow creme
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz frozen whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

1. Line a 9×13 pan with foil or parchment paper, allowing paper to overhang the pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together pudding mix and milk until smooth and creamy. Pour into 9×13 pan and spread into an even layer.
3. Chill the pudding layer while you mix up the marshmallow layer.
4. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese and marshmallow creme until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.
5. Spread the marshmallow layer over the chocolate layer. Cover with foil.
6. Freeze layers for about 6 hours, until firm enough to cut through. Use the foil or parchment paper to remove layers from the 9×13 pan and place on a cutting board.
7. Break 15 graham crackers in half. Slice pudding/marshmallow layers into 15 squares the same size as the graham crackers.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to achieve a smooth marshmallow layer.
• Allow ample freezing time to ensure the layers are firm enough to handle.
• Use a sharp knife to cut the frozen layers cleanly.

Additional Tips and Variations

For an extra chocolatey kick, add a layer of chocolate chips on top of the pudding layer before freezing. You can also experiment with different flavors of instant pudding for a unique twist on this classic treat.

Nutritional Highlights (Per Serving)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I prepare these in advance? Absolutely! These frozen s’mores can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for up to a week.

What if I don’t have a 9×13 inch pan? You can use a similar-sized pan, but make sure to adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly to fit your pan.

Can I use real marshmallows instead of marshmallow creme? Marshmallow creme is recommended for its smooth texture, but melted marshmallows could work if you’re in a pinch.
