Tips

This is an incredibly simple recipe. There’s not much to do, and it requires no cooking at all. That being said, as with many simple things, there are some things to keep in mind so that you create the best possible frozen s’mores you can. These easy tips will make sure every single part of this recipe comes out perfectly.

Thoroughly Soften the Cream Cheese

It’s important to allow your cream cheese to thoroughly soften whenever you’re creaming it with anything. If your cream cheese isn’t completely softened, you’ll end up with a finished product that’s lumpy with little pieces of cream cheese in it.

Let the Layers Chill

We’ve made this recipe a million times, so we know exactly how to layer the pudding and cream cheese layers without mixing them together. However, if you’ve never made this recipe before, you can make things easier on yourself by allowing your pudding layer to firm up in the refrigerator before making and adding the cream cheese layer.

Freeze Immediately

It’s important to place your frozen s’mores in the freezer as soon as you’ve added the middle layers to the graham crackers. If you take too long, the pudding will begin to thaw and make your graham crackers soggy. So the rule of thumb here is to work quickly. Don’t get stressed over it, but don’t dawdle, either.

Always Let Your Crackers Be Your Guide

To achieve the perfect fit between your layers and your graham crackers, place a graham cracker on top of your layers before cutting. Use the graham cracker as a guide to cut out the perfect size for your frozen s’mores.

Serving Frozen S’mores

To serve, simply remove a frozen s’more sandwich from the freezer and place it on a plate. That’s all you need to do. These little squares have all the delicious flavors of s’mores, so there’s no need to add anything to them. Serve them as-is, and everyone will be begging for more.

These treats are perfect for summertime bashes, backyard barbecues, game days, or even simply weeknight desserts. They’re so delicious and so easy, there’s never a bad time to serve them up!

Storing Frozen S’mores

Storing these frozen s’mores is as easy as making them. They need to stay frozen, so all you have to do is simply keep them in the freezer. These treats will keep well in the freezer in an air-tight container or heavy-duty freezer bag for up to a month. You never have to defrost them, so all you have to do is take a frozen sandwich out of the freezer and serve.

FAQ

Before you dive into making these frozen s’mores, take a moment to read over this FAQ. It answers all the common questions you might have before or after making this dish, and it’ll help you stop any mishaps before they ever happen.

My is my cream cheese layer lumpy?
You didn’t allow your cream cheese to fully soften. Cream cheese that hasn’t softened completely won’t combine as well, leaving you with little lumps of plain cream cheese in your mix.

Do I have to use instant pudding?
Not at all, but the entire recipe will take much longer. Some people really love the flavor of cook and serve pudding. If that’s you, feel free to use that variety. Just be aware that you’ll have to add extra time for both cooking the pudding and allowing it to cool before the next layer is added.

I keep mixing the layers together. Help!
You can make things easier on yourself by allowing your pudding to chill completely before adding the cream cheese layer. You can even put the pudding in the freezer before adding the second layer if you’re really having a hard time with it.

Why are my graham crackers soggy?
You probably waited too long to put your frozen s’mores back in the freezer. If you don’t freeze your s’mores immediately, the pudding and cream cheese layers will start to melt and make your graham crackers soggy.
