STEP-BY-STEP: HOW TO MAKE CREAM CHEESE AND MARSHMALLOW FLUFF S’MORES

STEP 1: MAKE THE FLUFFY FILLING

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and marshmallow fluff until smooth. Fold in the whipped topping gently with a spatula until fully combined. The mixture should be light, fluffy, and slightly sweet with a bit of tang from the cream cheese.

STEP 2: PREPARE THE PUDDING LAYER

In a separate bowl, whisk together the chocolate pudding mix and cold milk for about 2 minutes, until thickened. Let it sit for a few minutes to fully set.

STEP 3: LAYER THE GRAHAM CRACKERS

Line the bottom of your baking dish with a single layer of graham crackers. Break them as needed to fit the edges—this will be the base of your frozen s’mores.

STEP 4: SPREAD THE FLUFF LAYER

Carefully spread the cream cheese-marshmallow mixture over the graham crackers in an even layer. Use a spatula to smooth it out without disturbing the bottom.

STEP 5: ADD THE CHOCOLATE LAYER

Gently spread the chocolate pudding over the marshmallow layer, creating that rich, creamy middle that s’mores lovers can’t resist.

STEP 6: ADD A FINAL LAYER OF GRAHAM CRACKERS

Top everything with another layer of graham crackers. Press them down lightly so they stick to the pudding.

STEP 7: FREEZE AND SLICE

Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or foil and freeze for at least 4 hours, or until fully set. When ready to serve, let sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes to soften slightly. Use a sharp knife to slice into bars or squares.

You’ve just made the ultimate cream cheese and marshmallow fluff dessert—no fire required.

TIPS FOR WORKING WITH WHIPPED TOPPING AND CREAMY FILLINGS

• Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
• Fold, don’t stir the whipped topping to keep the mixture light and airy.
• Freeze completely before slicing. These bars hold their shape best when fully frozen.

These tricks will keep your frozen dessert recipe smooth and picture-perfect.
