Ingredients
- 1 package graham crackers
- 2 cups whipped cream
- 1 cup chocolate pudding
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers for topping
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x9 inch baking dish by lightly greasing the bottom with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, gently fold the chocolate pudding into the whipped cream until fully combined and creating a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Create the first layer of the icebox cake by arranging whole graham crackers in a single, even layer covering the bottom of the prepared dish. Break crackers if needed to fit perfectly.
- Spread half of the whipped cream and chocolate pudding mixture evenly over the graham cracker layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle half of the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips over the cream layer for added texture and flavor.
- Repeat the layering process: add another layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining cream mixture, marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
- For the final touch, sprinkle the crushed graham crackers over the top layer to create a decorative and crunchy topping.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the layers to set and flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, let the icebox cake sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to soften slightly.
- Cut into square portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your easy, no-bake S'mores Icebox Cake!
Tips
- Ensure your whipped cream and chocolate pudding are well-chilled before mixing to maintain a smooth, creamy texture.
- For extra richness, use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought.
- Let the icebox cake set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, but overnight is ideal for maximum flavor melding.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for a more decadent taste.
- For a fun variation, try using different flavored puddings or adding a drizzle of chocolate sauce before serving.
- Make sure to break graham crackers precisely to create an even, neat layer.
- Allow the cake to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving to soften the layers slightly.
- For a more adult version, you can add a splash of coffee liqueur to the cream mixture.
