Frozen S’mores

Frozen s’mores take all the flavors you love and turn them into a cold, refreshing treat that’s perfect for enjoying on a hot summer day!

If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that I love all things s’mores.

There’s just something about the combination of chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallows that I can’t get enough of, especially during the summer. 

Whether it’s s’mores dip, easy s’mores brownies, s’mores pie, or giant s’mores cookies, I love it all. 

But we’ve been having a heat wave here this week and I’ve been craving frozen desserts. I just want to sit in the air conditioning and eat something cold and refreshing. Zero heat involved.

The answer? Frozen s’mores. 

What are frozen s’mores?

Frozen s’mores take all of the flavors we love in traditional s’mores but turns them into a frozen treat similar to an ice cream sandwich.

I got the idea when I saw a reel from spread.the.grub on Instagram. Her version was quite a bit different from what you see here, but the idea was stuck in my brain and just wouldn’t leave.

So I grabbed some of my favorite ingredients and got to work.

These frozen s’mores have graham crackers on the outside, two layers of chocolate, and a mix of cool whip and marshmallow fluff on the inside.

You can throw them together in about 15 minutes. Let them set in the freezer for a few hours and they’re ready to cut and enjoy — no campfire required.

How to make my frozen s’mores

This recipe is so easy to make and is a great way to get your kids involved in the kitchen. They’ll love helping you assemble these frozen s’mores – and eat them later!

Ingredients you’ll need

To make this recipe, you will need:

• About 20 full sheets of graham crackers 
• 1 (8-ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 (7.5 ounce) jar marshmallow fluff
• 1 (11.5-ounce bag) Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt

You will need about 20 of the full rectangle sheets of graham crackers for these s’mores. We’ll break some of them apart on the perforations when fitting them into the pan, but start with 20 full sheets.

Marshmallow fluff and marshmallow creme are interchangeable here, so use whatever brand you like best.

You don’t have to use Ghirardelli chocolate chips in these s’mores — that just happens to be my preferred brand of chocolate chips. Use whatever you have on hand and like best!

Don’t skip the flaky sea salt here. It takes these frozen s’mores from good to great. 

Making this recipe

This frozen s’more recipe is made in a 9×13-inch pan. Line the pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving an overhang so that you can easily lift the s’mores out of the pan later.

Arrange half of the graham crackers in the bottom of the pan. You will need to break some of the crackers along the perforation lines to get them to fit, as you can see in these photos.

In a large mixing bowl, fold together the whipped topping and the marshmallow fluff until well combined. Set this aside.

Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 90 seconds, then stir well. Continue to microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth.

Spread half of the melted chocolate onto the graham cracker layer. Sprinkle evenly with the sea salt.

Spread all of the marshmallow mixture on top, followed by the rest of the melted chocolate. Top with the remaining graham crackers, again breaking them as needed to fit into the pan.

Cover the pan and freeze for at least 4 hours.

When you’re ready to serve, lift the frozen s’mores out onto a cutting board and slice into squares. Serve immediately.

Recipe variations

I typically make this recipe with standard marshmallow fluff, cool whip, honey graham crackers, and milk chocolate chips. But there are lots of ways you can adjust the ingredients for dietary restrictions.

Feel free to use gluten-free graham crackers, vegan marshmallow creme, non-dairy whipped topping (such as CocoWhip), and/or dark chocolate/dairy-free chocolate chips as needed.

You can also swap out honey graham crackers for chocolate graham crackers for a bit more chocolate flavor. 

You could even drizzle some salted caramel sauce on top of the chocolate layers for a salted caramel twist!
