Ingredients
Scale
- 12 graham crackers, broken in half
- 2.5 cups (600 mL / 20.3 fl oz) whole milk
- 2.5 cups (600 mL / 20.3 fl oz) Cool Whip, defrosted
- 6 oz (170 g) marshmallow creme
- 5 oz (142 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1 (5.9 oz / 167 g) instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing excess to hang over sides for easy removal.
- Chocolate Layer: Whisk chocolate pudding mix, milk, and Cool Whip in a medium bowl until achieving a smooth, creamy consistency.
- Base Construction: Arrange half of the graham cracker halves across the bottom of the dish in an uniform layer, then spread the chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the crackers.
- Marshmallow Cream Layer: Blend cream cheese and marshmallow creme in a separate bowl until completely integrated, then gently fold in remaining Cool Whip and a pinch of salt until uniformly combined.
- Layer Assembly: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer, then delicately place remaining graham cracker halves on top, pressing lightly to ensure proper adhesion.
- Freezing Process: Cover the dish with foil and transfer to the freezer, allowing it to solidify for a minimum of 6 hours until layers are completely firm.
- Serving Preparation: Remove the dessert from the freezer, lift from the dish using parchment paper, and transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 12 precise squares, using graham crackers as a cutting guide and trimming any excess filling for clean edges.
- Final Touch: Serve immediately or store in a zip-top freezer bag, allowing the s’mores to soften at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Chill Thoroughly: Ensure a minimum 6-hour freezing time for perfect layer setting and optimal texture consistency.
- Prep Smartly: Line baking dish with parchment paper for effortless removal and clean, professional-looking squares.
