Ingredients
Scale
- 16 sheets graham crackers (regular or gluten-free; break in half if needed)
- 1 box (3.9 oz) milk chocolate instant pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow creme/fluff
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping (thawed; Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
- 2 tbsp butter, melted (optional, for brushing graham crackers)
- Mini chocolate chips (optional, for sprinkling between layers or on top)
- Pinch of salt (optional, balances sweetness)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting. Arrange half the graham crackers in a single layer to cover the bottom.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes until thickened. Pour over the graham layer and smooth evenly. Freeze for 15 minutes.
- In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy (about 1 minute). Add marshmallow fluff and beat until smooth. Fold in whipped topping gently. Add a pinch of salt or mini chocolate chips if desired.
- Spread the marshmallow cream mixture over the chilled pudding layer. Use a spatula for an even layer. Freeze for another 15 minutes. For a peanut butter swirl, drop spoonfuls and swirl gently before freezing.
- Arrange the remaining graham crackers over the marshmallow layer, pressing gently to stick.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours (overnight is best for firm bars).
- Use the parchment overhang to lift frozen s’mores out of the pan. Cut into squares with a sharp, warm knife. Serve straight from the freezer.
Notes
Freeze between layers for cleaner squares. Brush graham crackers with melted butter for extra crunch. For gluten-free or vegan options, substitute ingredients as needed. Let bars sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes before slicing for easier cutting. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 weeks.
