Ingredients:
Instant chocolate pudding
Whole milk
Cool whip (you can make this from scratch for a richer flavor!)
Graham crackers (consider chocolate graham crackers for extra chocolatey goodness)
Room-softened cream cheese (Here's a quick guide on how to soften cream cheese)
Marshmallow creme
A pinch of salt
How to Craft Your Frozen S’mores Sandwich:
Chocolate layer: Combine the instant pudding, milk, and half a cup of cool whip until you get a creamy consistency. Spread this over a single layer of graham crackers at the bottom of your dish. Freeze this layer briefly.
Marshmallow magic: Beat the cream cheese and marshmallow creme together until they blend into a smooth concoction. Gently fold in the remaining whipped topping and that pinch of salt.
Stack them up: Pour your marshmallow mix over the chocolate layer. Finish off with the remaining graham crackers. Seal this with foil and let it chill for at least 6 hours. Patience is key here; you want it firm enough to cut cleanly.
Serve it up: Use the parchment paper's edges to lift and remove the frozen s’mores bars. Slice into 12 squares and voila!
Pro Tips for the Perfect Sandwich:
Ensure both the cool whip and cream cheese are thawed.
Ditch butter or spray; parchment paper is the magic tool here, especially with its overhanging edges.
Trim the edges post-freezing for a polished look.
If your sandwich is too frozen, let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before serving. This ensures the perfect softness in every bite.
Storage Solutions: Got leftovers? Wrap individual squares in plastic wrap and pop them into a freezer bag. These gems can be stored and savored for up to three months.
The next time you're craving a s'mores treat, remember that you don’t have to light up a fire. Dive into your freezer, get by your sparkling, clean pool, and enjoy this frozen twist on a summer classic. Enjoy your treat, and here’s to a sweet pool-day ahead!
