Frozen S’mores
Frozen S’mores are a decadent ice cream sandwich twist featuring a rich chocolate pudding layer and creamy marshmallow nestled between crisp graham crackers! No campfire needed!
S’mores Ice Cream Sandwiches aka “Frozen Smores”
S’mores are classic dessert for camping, but on a hot summer day in Texas, the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a fire!
If you’re looking for a way to cool off on a hot summer day, these Frozen S’mores are the perfect way to enjoy all the flavors of this nostalgic sweet treat without the need for a campfire!
We took all the flavors of s’mores and made them into ice cream sandwiches!
First we started with a layer of rich chocolate pudding. Then we topped it with a decadently creamy marshmallow layer.
Finally, we sandwiched all that creamy chocolatey goodness between two crunchy graham crackers, just like the real thing. And froze it!
This is one summer sweet that both kids and grown-ups alike are going to LOVE!
Ingredients
For your convenience in re-creating this recipe, I’ve provided shop-able ad links to some of the products we used; disclosure policy available here.
- Chocolate Instant pudding mix — 3.9oz size box
- 2 cups Milk — You can use any type of milk, as long as it’s cold
- 12 Graham crackers — broken in half into squares
- Marshmallow creme — the small 7oz jar will be perfect
- 4oz Cream cheese — softened
- 8oz Whipped topping — such as Cool Whip, thawed so it’s easier to work with
Kitchen Supplies Used
- Wax paper or parchment paper
- 9 x 13″ baking dish
- Mixing bowls
- Electric hand mixer
Instructions
To Prep: Line a 9×13 baking pan or casserole dish with parchment paper. Make sure to use a little extra parchment paper so you have overhanging edges that will let you pop the frozen smores out of the pan.
- Make the Chocolate Layer – Whisk together milk and instant chocolate pudding mix in a medium bowl, until smooth. Pour the chocolate pudding mixture into the bottom of the baking dish (that is lined with parchment) and spread so that the bottom is evenly coated.
- Make the Marshmallow Layer – In a separate large mixing bowl (or bowl of a stand mixer), beat marshmallow fluff and cream cheese until smooth, then fold in the whipped topping. Carefully spread this marshmallow mixture on top of your chocolate pudding layer.
- Freeze – Cover pan with foil or plastic wrap and freeze for about 6 hours, or overnight. You want the dessert to be firm enough so that you can cut through all the layers without them smushing into a gooey mess.
- Add the Graham Crackers – When your s’mores are frozen, remove them from the pan by pulling up on the parchment paper, transferring them carefully to a clean cutting board. Place the graham cracker squares on top of your frozen smores. Use these graham crackers as a guide to cut your s’mores into squares. With a spatula, lift each s’mores square and place another graham cracker on the bottom so that it forms a sandwich.
Serve immediately or store in freezer until ready to serve.

Prep Tips
- Storage – Your frozen smores should be kept in the freezer until you’re ready to serve them. They will melt quickly! I recommend lining them up in a flat pan or food storage container so they stay together. If you put them in a freezer bag the graham crackers could become separated or break.
- Gluten-Free Version – To make this a gluten free treat is pretty simple, just swap graham crackers with a gluten free graham cracker.
- Dairy-Free Variation – Dairy free requires more modification, but again, it’s not too complicated. Rather, it’s just a matter of choosing the right ingredients. See below for more details.
How to Make Dairy Free Frozen S’mores
- First, you’ll need to use a non-dairy milk when mixing your pudding (most pudding mixes are dairy free/vegan, just double check the label to be sure).
- Next, you’ll want to make sure that you choose a whipped topping that does not contain milk (some varieties of Cool Whip now add skim milk). Another watch-out for whipped topping is sodium caseinate (or anything with “casein”) because that is a milk protein. If lactose is your only concern, this shouldn’t be an issue, but with milk allergies it could be.
- Finally, you’ll need to swap the cream cheese with dairy free ice cream. The texture should be pretty similar, but you’ll need to work quicker when mixing as the ice cream melts.
- Other than these ingredient swaps, the recipes steps are the same.
