This fun Frozen S’mores recipe is a cool treat perfect for warm days! With layers of chocolate and marshmallow between crunchy graham crackers, it’s a delightful twist on the classic.
Making these is as easy as 1-2-3! I love seeing the kids’ faces light up when they take a bite. Just freeze, slice, and enjoy—simple, sweet, and perfect for summer fun!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Graham Crackers: These provide the classic crunch. If you can’t find graham crackers, consider using vanilla wafer cookies or digestive biscuits instead for a similar flavor and texture.
Marshmallow Fluff: Marshmallow fluff gives that gooey sweetness. If you want a healthier twist, you could swap it for whipped cream, though it won’t have the same texture. Some people even mix in a bit of Greek yogurt for a creamy touch.
Chocolate Pudding: I love prepared chocolate pudding, but you can use vanilla pudding for a lighter version or even a dairy-free chocolate pudding for a vegan option. Just try to keep the consistency similar!
How Do I Freeze S’mores for the Best Texture?
The freezing step is crucial! Allowing the s’mores to freeze for at least 4 hours helps the layers meld together. If you freeze overnight, they get even firmer and easier to cut. When removing them from the freezer, let them sit for a few minutes; this makes slicing much easier!
- Use a sharp knife to cut straight down to avoid squishing the layers.
- For a fun twist, add mini marshmallows or chocolate chips between layers for extra treats.
Easy Frozen S’mores Recipe for Warm Days
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 24 graham crackers (about 2 full sheets cut into squares)
- 2 cups marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow crème)
- 2 cups chocolate pudding (prepared from instant mix or homemade)
- Optional: mini marshmallows or chocolate chips for extra texture
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe takes about 15 minutes to prepare, plus at least 4 hours in the freezer for chilling. If you can wait overnight, it will be even firmer and easier to slice!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Base:
Start by laying out half of the graham crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet or tray. If you line it with parchment paper, it will make it easier to lift the frozen s’mores out later!
2. Add the Chocolate Pudding:
Spread an even layer of chocolate pudding over the graham crackers. Make sure to cover them well for a rich chocolate flavor in every bite.
3. Layer the Marshmallow Fluff:
Next, spread an even layer of marshmallow fluff over the chocolate pudding. This fluffy layer adds the delicious gooeyness that makes s’mores so special!
4. Finish with the Top Layer:
Place the remaining graham crackers on top of the marshmallow fluff. Press down gently to create a firm stack; this will help hold everything together once it’s frozen.
5. Freeze the S’mores:
Put the entire tray or baking sheet in the freezer and let it freeze for at least 4 hours, or even overnight. This makes sure your s’mores are nice and solid!
6. Cut into Squares:
Once they are frozen solid, remove the tray from the freezer. Use a sharp knife to cut the frozen s’mores into squares. It’s easier if you let them sit for a couple of minutes before cutting.
7. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve immediately for a cool and refreshing treat on a warm day! These s’mores can be messy but are oh-so-delicious!
Enjoy the creamy pudding, fluffy marshmallow, and crunchy graham crackers all combined for the perfect summertime dessert!

How Long Do Frozen S’mores Last in the Freezer?
Frozen s’mores can last up to 2 weeks in the freezer when stored in an airtight container. To maintain the best texture, cover them well to prevent freezer burn.
Can I Make These Vegan?

What Should I Do If They Are Too Hard to Cut?
If the s’mores are too hard to cut after freezing, let them sit at room temperature for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will soften them slightly, making it easier to get those perfect squares!
