Ingredients
Scale
Crust
- 10 graham crackers, crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 oz chocolate bars, chopped
- 2 cups large marshmallows
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare Crust Mixture: In a bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture is well combined and evenly coated with butter.
- Bake Crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown. Remove from oven and let it cool completely.
- Make Chocolate Filling: Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan over medium heat until it starts steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and pour over the chopped chocolate bars. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to melt the chocolate, then stir gently until smooth and creamy.
- Add Marshmallows: Fold the large marshmallows into the warm chocolate filling, mixing gently to incorporate them evenly.
- Assemble and Freeze: Pour the chocolate and marshmallow filling over the cooled graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and place in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
- Serve: Once frozen, slice into squares and serve chilled for a refreshing and rich dessert experience.
Notes
- For best results, use high-quality chocolate bars to enhance the flavor of the filling.
- You can substitute large marshmallows with mini marshmallows if preferred; however, texture will vary slightly.
- Store leftovers in the freezer covered tightly to prevent freezer burn and maintain texture.
- Allow the frozen s’mores to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to soften slightly for easier slicing.
- Optionally, drizzle with additional melted chocolate or sprinkle with crushed graham crackers for garnish.
