Print Recipe

This Easy No-Bake S’mores Icebox Cake layers graham crackers, a quick chocolate pudding mixture, and marshmallow fluff, then chills to perfection. It takes just 15 minutes to assemble and delivers all the campfire flavor without any baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14–16 full sheets graham crackers
  • 1 box (3.9 oz) chocolate instant pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 jar (7 oz) marshmallow fluff
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional, for greasing dish)
  • Chocolate bar (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the chocolate instant pudding mix and 2 cups of cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until it starts to thicken. Let it sit for 5 minutes to fully set up.
  2. Lightly grease your 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  3. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers in the bottom of the dish, breaking them as needed to fit. Cover the bottom completely with no gaps.
  4. Spread half of the chocolate pudding evenly over the graham crackers.
  5. Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the pudding, then spread the remaining pudding over that. Top with a final layer of graham crackers (three layers of graham crackers and two layers of pudding total).
  6. Gently warm the marshmallow fluff in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to make it easier to spread. Carefully spread it over the top graham cracker layer without disturbing the layers underneath.
  7. Sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the marshmallow fluff and press them down very gently.
  8. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
  9. Optional: Before serving, place the dish under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to toast the marshmallows. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  10. Slice into squares and serve cold.

Notes

Chill for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, for the graham crackers to soften into a cake-like texture. Use cold milk for the pudding to ensure it sets properly. Watch the broiler closely when toasting marshmallows to avoid burning.
