Easy Frozen S’mores (No-Bake Summer Dessert!)

This Easy Frozen S’mores are a no-bake summer dessert made with graham crackers, chocolate pudding, marshmallow creme, and Cool Whip. Easy to prepare and perfect for hot days, this frozen treat is a twist on the campfire classic everyone will love.

There’s nothing quite like s’mores in the summer—but when it’s too hot to turn on the oven or start a fire, these Frozen S’mores are the answer. They take all the flavors of a classic s’more and turn them into a cool, creamy, no-bake treat that’s easy to make and even easier to devour. With layers of chocolate pudding, marshmallow cream, and whipped topping between graham crackers, they’re the ultimate make-ahead dessert for parties, BBQs, or just a lazy day at home.

To make Frozen S’mores, start by lining a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some extra hanging over the sides for easy removal later. In a bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix, milk, and a little Cool Whip until smooth, then spread it over a layer of graham crackers in the pan and chill. While it sets, beat the cream cheese and marshmallow creme together until creamy, then fold in more Cool Whip and a pinch of salt. Spread this fluffy layer over the chocolate, top with more graham crackers, cover, and freeze until firm. Once frozen, lift the whole thing out, slice into squares, and enjoy a chilly twist on everyone’s favorite fireside dessert.

How To Make Frozen S’Mores Dessert Bars

Step 1: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra hanging over the sides to make lifting out the frozen bars easier.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix, milk, and ½ cup of Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Arrange half of the graham crackers in a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish. Spread the chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the graham crackers. Chill while you prepare the next layer.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and marshmallow creme together until smooth.

Step 5: Fold in the remaining 2 cups of Cool Whip and a pinch of salt until well combined.

Step 6: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate pudding layer.

Step 7: Top with the remaining graham crackers to form the top “sandwich” layer. Cover the pan with foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or until firm.

Step 8: Use the parchment overhang to lift the frozen s’mores out of the pan. Place on a cutting board and slice into 12 squares, using the graham crackers as a guide. Trim any excess filling if desired.

Step 9: Serve softened or return to the freezer for later. Let bars sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving if fully frozen.
