Ingredients for Frozen S’mores Sandwiches
- 12 whole graham crackers (broken in half to make 24 squares)
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips (or chocolate melting wafers)
How to Make Frozen S’mores Sandwiches: Step-by-Step Directions
1. Prepare the Graham Cracker Base
Line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Arrange half the graham cracker squares in a single layer on the bottom.
2. Make the Marshmallow-Cream Layer
In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the mini marshmallows in 20-second bursts until just melted, stirring between intervals. In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Add melted marshmallows and mix until combined.
3. Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow-cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated. Spread this creamy mixture evenly over the graham cracker base in your pan.
4. Add the Chocolate Layer
Melt chocolate chips in the microwave (30-second intervals, stirring each time) until smooth. Cool slightly, then pour and gently spread over the marshmallow layer.
5. Top and Freeze
Arrange the remaining graham cracker squares on top, pressing lightly. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm.
6. Slice and Serve
Use the parchment paper to lift the slab from the pan. Cut between the graham crackers to make 12 sandwiches. Enjoy frozen!
Notes for Perfect Frozen S’mores Sandwiches
- If your graham crackers are getting too soft, freeze the sandwiches for longer before serving.
- For extra-chocolatey flavor, try adding a drizzle of chocolate syrup before serving.
- Let the sandwiches sit at room temperature for 3-5 minutes before eating for the best texture.
