Imagine combining the nostalgic flavors of a campfire s’more with the cooling refreshment of a frozen treat. The outcome? Frozen S’mores – an indulgent dessert that takes the traditional s’more to a whole new level. This recipe maintains the quintessential components of a s’more – graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows – but presents them in a chilled, unique way that’s perfect for those hot summer days.

Ingredients

Creating Frozen S’mores at home requires the following ingredients:

1. Graham Crackers: 12 whole crackers, for that authentic s’more base.
2. Marshmallow Cream: 1 cup, for a smooth and sweet marshmallow flavor.
3. Cream Cheese: 1 package (8 ounces), to add creaminess.
4. Whipped Topping: 1 container (8 ounces), for a fluffy texture.
5. Chocolate Pudding Mix: 1 package (3.9 ounces), for a rich chocolate layer.
6. Cold Milk: 1 cup, to prepare the pudding.
7. Mini Marshmallows: 1/2 cup, for topping.
8. Chocolate Bar: 1 bar, grated or finely chopped, for topping.

Instructions

Follow these steps to create your own Frozen S’mores:

1. Prepare the Marshmallow Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the marshmallow cream and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping and set aside.
2. Make the Chocolate Pudding: In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk according to the package instructions. Let it set in the refrigerator.
3. Assemble the S’mores: Lay out half of the graham crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread the marshmallow mixture onto each cracker, then spoon the chocolate pudding on top. Finish by placing the remaining graham crackers on top to form a sandwich.
4. Freeze: Place the s’mores into the freezer for at least 4 hours, or until they’re firm.
5. Garnish and Serve: Just before serving, sprinkle the mini marshmallows and grated chocolate over each s’more. You can also slightly toast the mini marshmallows with a kitchen torch for a more authentic s’more flavor.
