Why Youโll Love This Smores Dessert
These smores are great to serve on hot days when wanting to cool down and enjoy something sweet. There are so many good reasons to make them, but I especially love them because theyโre:
- Easy – When it comes to making treats, I always look for simple recipes that wonโt take too much time. The kids can even lend a hand with preparing these smores.

Smores Recipe Ingredients
- Graham Crackers – You canโt have smores without the graham crackers, right? Make sure you have a packet or two, or maybe three, depending on how many of these youโre making!
- Chocolate Pudding – Instead of the traditional chocolate bar commonly used to make smores, youโll need chocolate pudding for this simple recipe.
- Cream Cheese – It may sound strange because cream cheese isnโt in your average smores, but trust me when I say this is a must-have ingredient.
- Cool Whip – Grab your favorite container of whipped topping, whether itโs Cool Whip or the generic kind.
- Marshmallow Cream – Canโt forget the marshmallow cream, which will truly tie all the other ingredients together.
Smores Variations
Want to go beyond traditional and make something even more unique? Try some of these fun and flavorful variations of the Frozen Smores!
- Strawberry Cream Cheese – Use strawberry-flavored cream cheese instead of traditional for hints of sweet strawberry flavoring in every bite.
- Vanilla Pudding – Instead of chocolate, try vanilla pudding to see if you enjoy the taste even more.
- Sprinkles – You can add sprinkles into your cream cheese or marshmallow mixture for added color and excitement.
- Chocolate Drizzle – Drizzle some chocolate syrup over your graham crackers as a finishing touch when serving!
Tips for Preparing Frozen Smores
- Make sure youโre using instant chocolate pudding mix for these frozen smores to turn out perfectly!
- Before working with the Cool Whip, allow it to sit out for a bit. Itโs easier to work with when itโs not frozen.
- Place parchment paper in your pan before assembling your smores. Itโs the key to keeping these goodies from sticking to the pan in the freezer.
