Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Graham crackers: These are the base for our Frozen S’mores. If you can’t find them, crushed digestive biscuits or even Oreos work well! They add a great crunch and are easy to layer.
Chocolate ice cream: I love using rich chocolate ice cream for a creamy texture. If you’re looking for a lighter option, chocolate frozen yogurt is a good choice. Vanilla ice cream can also work—just add extra cocoa or chocolate chips!
Marshmallow fluff: This ingredient gives the s’mores a rich, marshmallowy flavor. If you can’t find fluff, you can make your own by mixing powdered sugar, corn syrup, and egg whites. You could also use marshmallow cream as a substitute.
Whipped cream: You can use store-bought whipped topping or make your own for a fresher taste. If you want a dairy-free option, cool whip alternatives are available, or whipped coconut cream is delicious!
Miniature marshmallows: These are optional but add a fun texture. If you don’t have any, you can skip them or use regular-sized marshmallows cut in half.
How Do You Layer the Ingredients for Best Results?
The layering technique is key to achieving delicious Frozen S’mores. Start by evenly spreading each layer to prevent it from mixing into the others. Make sure the graham crackers are well-aligned for a solid base.
- Prepare your baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Layer the graham crackers first and be sure they’re flat and aligned.
- When spreading ice cream and fluff, use a spatula for an even layer—this makes all the difference!
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap, which helps the layers maintain their shape while freezing.
Take your time with each layer and enjoy the process! This will ensure your Frozen S’mores have a nice structure when cut.
How to Make Frozen S’mores
Ingredients You’ll Need:
For the Layers:
- 1 box graham crackers (about 14 sheets)
- 2 cups chocolate ice cream (or chocolate frozen yogurt)

- 1 cup whipped cream (or whipped topping)
- 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows (optional, for extra texture)
- 1/4 cup chocolate sauce (optional, for drizzling)
How Much Time Will You Need?
This recipe will take about 20 minutes to prepare and then you’ll need to freeze it for at least 4 hours. So, in total, you’re looking at about 4 hours and 20 minutes until you can enjoy your delicious Frozen S’mores!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prepare the Baking Dish:
Start by lining an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some overhang—this helps when you want to lift the frozen s’mores out later. You can set this aside for now.
2. First Layer of Graham Crackers:
Lay a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom of your lined baking dish. Arrange them flat side down, covering the entire surface so you have a nice base for your s’mores.
3. Chocolate Ice Cream Layer:
Next, scoop out half of the chocolate ice cream and spread it evenly over the graham cracker layer. Be sure to smooth it out nicely so every bite has the delicious chocolate flavor!
4. Marshmallow Fluff Mixture:
In a separate bowl, mix together the marshmallow fluff and whipped cream until it’s all blended. Spread half of this fluffy mixture over the chocolate ice cream layer. This adds a great taste and texture!
5. Optional Miniature Marshmallows:
If you want an extra burst of sweetness, sprinkle the miniature marshmallows on top of the marshmallow fluff mixture. They’ll add a fun texture to your treat!
6. Add More Graham Crackers:
Now, place another layer of graham crackers on top of the marshmallow fluff. This is your second layer, and it will support the next delicious yumminess!
7. Repeat with Remaining Ingredients:
Spread the remaining chocolate ice cream evenly over this new layer of graham crackers. Follow with the remaining marshmallow fluff mixture, and finish it all off with a final layer of graham crackers on top.
8. Freeze the Creation:
Cover the entire dish tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer. Let the Frozen S’mores chill for at least 4 hours. You’ll want it to be nice and firm!
9. Serve and Enjoy:
When you’re ready to serve, take the dish out of the freezer. Lift the Frozen S’mores out using the parchment paper overhang. Cut it into squares or rectangles, whatever shape you like best.
10. Add a Drizzle (Optional):
If you’re feeling fancy, drizzle some chocolate sauce over the top before serving. It makes for a great presentation and a little extra sweetness!
Enjoy your refreshing Frozen S’mores treat! It’s a perfect dessert for warm days.
Can I Use Different Flavors of Ice Cream?
Absolutely! While chocolate ice cream is traditional, feel free to experiment with other flavors like vanilla, strawberry, or even cookie dough. Just keep in mind that the flavors should complement the marshmallow and graham crackers for the best taste!
What Can I Substitute for Marshmallow Fluff?
If you don’t have marshmallow fluff, you can use homemade marshmallow cream. To make it, mix together 2 egg whites, 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar, and 1 cup powdered sugar until fluffy. Just make sure to use it immediately as it won’t be as stable as store-bought fluff.
How to Store Leftover Frozen S’mores?
Store any leftover frozen s’mores in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. You can also wrap individual squares in plastic wrap for a quick treat on-the-go. Just be sure to separate layers with parchment paper if you’re stacking them!
Can I Make These S’mores Vegan?
Yes, you can make these vegan! Use vegan graham crackers, non-dairy ice cream, coconut whipped cream, and a plant-based marshmallow fluff. Just ensure all ingredients are labeled vegan to maintain the theme!
