Equipment
- 9x13 pan
- whisk
- offset spatula
- kitchen torch optional
Ingredients
- 1 14-15 ounce box graham crackers
- 2 3.4 ounce boxes instant chocolate pudding mix Jell-O
- 3 cups cold whole milk
- 7 ounce jar marshmallow fluff/creme
- 8 ounce tub Cool Whip defrosted at room temperature
- 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
- 1 Hershey's Chocolate Bar optional - chopped or grated
- ½ cup Chocolate Sauce optional - drizzle
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl prepare the chocolate pudding. Dump both pudding mixes & 3 cups of cold milk into the bowl. Using an electric hand mixer, combine until thick. Set the pudding in the refrigerator to use later.
- In a medium bowl add the defrosted Cool Whip & the whole jar of the marshmallow creme. Add ½ of the mini marshmallows. Fold to evenly combine.
- To the bottom of the 9x13 baking dish, add a layer of graham crackers. Break some apart as needed to fit enough to cover the entire bottom of the pan.
- Spoon ⅓ of the marshmallow mixture on top of the graham crackers. Spread out so it is an even layer - it will be lumpy thanks to all the yummy mini marshmallows.
- Spoon half of the pudding on top of the marshmallow layer. Spread out evenly
- Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the chocolate pudding. Again make sure to have full coverage and break the cookies as needed.
- Repeat with another ⅓ layer of the rest of the marshmallow filling. Then top again with the remaining pudding.
- Place a final 3rd layer of graham crackers on the top to cover the pudding layer.
- Top with the remaining marshmallow layer. Sprinkle on the remaining mini marshmallows.
- Place the S'Mores Icebox Cake in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours.
- For the toppings before serving:Using a cooking torch, roast the marshmallows until toasty & brown to your liking. Sprinkle on chopped-up Hershey's Chocolate Bar & drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired. If you have any broken pieces or crumbs from the graham crackers, sprinkle those on too! Go for it, the more the yummier.
- To serve, cut into squares & place on plates. Enjoy!
Notes
STORING & SERVING:
- This is a make ahead dessert & stores in the refrigerator well for up to 5 days.
- Serve chilled straight from the fridge while still cold. It will fall apart, get soupy, or liquify if left at room temperature.
- Use gluten-free graham crackers if needed for dietary/allergy reasons.
- Try with dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate Hershey's bars.
- Do not substitute the whole milk with low-fat or fat free, it will not thicken and set.
