Ingredients
1 (5.9-ounce) box instant chocolate pudding mix
2½ cups whole milk
2½ cups Cool Whip (thawed and divided)
12 graham crackers (broken in half)
5 ounces cream cheese (softened)
7 ounces marshmallow creme
Pinch of salt
Optional: melted chocolate for drizzle, chocolate graham crackers, mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Prep the pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra overhang on the sides for easy lifting later.
Make the chocolate layer: In a mixing bowl, whisk the pudding mix and whole milk until thick and smooth. Stir in ½ cup of Cool Whip.
Layer the base: Lay half of the graham crackers on the bottom of the dish. Spread the pudding mixture over the crackers and chill in the fridge for 10–15 minutes.
Make the marshmallow layer: In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese and marshmallow creme until smooth. Fold in remaining 2 cups of Cool Whip and a pinch of salt.
Finish the layers: Spread the marshmallow mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer. Add the remaining graham crackers on top to create sandwiches.
Freeze: Cover the pan with foil and freeze for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
Serve: Lift the layered s’mores out using the parchment, then slice into 12 squares using the graham crackers as a guide. Let soften for 10–15 minutes at room temperature before serving, or microwave for 5–10 seconds.
Notes
Make-ahead tip: These can be made 1–2 days in advance and stored in the freezer.
Storage: Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe container. Keeps well for up to 2 months.
Variations: Add peanut butter to the pudding, mix in mini chocolate chips, or try using chocolate graham crackers.
Fruit twist: Add fresh strawberries or bananas for extra texture and natural sweetness.
Slicing tip: Run a sharp knife under hot water and wipe between cuts for cleaner squares.
