Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (5.9-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 (8-ounce) container Cool Whip, thawed and divided
- 12 graham crackers, broken in half (24 squares)
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 6 ounces marshmallow creme
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- Make the Chocolate Layer:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant chocolate pudding mix and milk until smooth and thickened.
- Gently fold in ½ cup of the thawed Cool Whip to lighten the mixture.
- Arrange half of the graham cracker squares evenly at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Spread the chocolate pudding mixture over the graham crackers, creating an even layer.
- Place the dish in the freezer to chill while preparing the next layer.
- Make the Marshmallow Layer:
-
- In another medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese and marshmallow creme together until smooth and well combined.
- Fold in the remaining Cool Whip and a pinch of salt until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Carefully spread this marshmallow mixture over the chilled chocolate layer in the baking dish.
- Assemble and Freeze:
- Place the remaining graham cracker squares on top of the marshmallow layer, aligning them with the bottom crackers to form sandwich squares.
- Cover the dish with foil and freeze for at least 6 hours, or until the layers are firm.
- Serve:
- Once fully frozen, use the parchment paper overhang to lift the entire block out of the baking dish.
- Place on a cutting board and, using a sharp knife, cut into individual squares along the lines of the graham crackers.
- Allow the frozen s’mores to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Notes
- Storage: Wrap each frozen s’more individually in plastic wrap or parchment paper and store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 2 months.
- Variations: For a chocolatey twist, use chocolate graham crackers instead of the regular ones. You can also add a layer of crushed cookies or a drizzle of caramel between the layers for extra flavor.
