A Sweet Summer Memory in Every Bite
I still remember the first time I had a frozen s’more — it was a humid July afternoon, and I was craving something cold and chocolatey. So I took all the gooey magic of traditional s’mores and gave them a frosty twist. One bite into that creamy marshmallow fluff layered between chocolate pudding and graham crackers? I was hooked. Now, Frozen S’mores are a staple in our summer freezer — a dreamy combo of nostalgia and chill. Whether you’re planning a make-ahead dessert or surprising the kids after a swim, these frozen treats hit the mark. And the best part? No campfire required.
About This Frozen S’mores Recipe
Frozen S’mores are basically all the cozy flavors of campfire s’mores, layered into a freezer-friendly bar. You’ve got buttery graham cracker layers hugging rich chocolate pudding and whipped marshmallow cream. After a few hours in the freezer, they become this irresistible treat that’s soft enough to bite but firm enough to hold.
What I love most is how easy they are to prep — no baking, no fire, just layering and freezing. It’s a great dessert for playdates, BBQs, or when you want a nostalgic sweet without the sticky fingers. I also love that you can slice and serve them straight from the freezer — so fun for guests!
How to Make Frozen S’mores
Start by lining a pan with graham crackers, then spread a thick layer of chocolate pudding. Next comes the magic: a fluffy mix of marshmallow crème and whipped topping. Top with more graham crackers, freeze, and slice into bars. It’s that simple!
Tips for Success
- Use full-fat pudding for that extra creamy texture
- Let the bars sit for 5 minutes before slicing — they’re easier to cut and bite into
- Store with parchment between layers to prevent sticking
These are best served straight from the freezer with a napkin (or two!). They’re firm, chewy, and sweet — just like summer should taste.
Frozen S’mores FAQ
Do S’mores need to be refrigerated?
Traditional s’mores don’t, but Frozen S’mores absolutely do! Keep them frozen until serving to preserve the creamy texture and prevent melting.
How to eat S’mores without making a mess?
Let them sit out for 2–3 minutes before biting — that softens the graham crackers without melting the filling. A napkin helps, too. 😉
How long to heat up S’mores?
For classic indoor s’mores, microwave for 10–15 seconds until marshmallows puff up. But for frozen s’mores, no heating needed — just slice and enjoy chilled!
Can you do S’mores inside?
Absolutely! Frozen S’mores are perfect for indoor treats, and if you want the classic gooey version, try them in the oven or microwave. No firepit required!
