Print Recipe

A simple, no-bake dessert layering graham crackers, marshmallows, chocolate, and whipped cream that chills overnight to create a soft, gooey s’mores-inspired treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham crackers (about 10–12 full sheets), broken or whole
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows or 12 large marshmallows torn into smaller pieces
  • 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter (optional, for richer graham cracker layer)

Instructions

  1. Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Pour 1 cup heavy cream into the chilled bowl. Add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. Melt 1 ½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring between each until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. If using butter, toss 2 cups broken graham crackers with 2 tablespoons melted butter. Otherwise, have graham crackers ready to layer.
  5. In an 8×8-inch square baking dish, spread a thin layer of whipped cream on the bottom. Add a layer of graham crackers, fitting them snugly. Scatter a handful of mini marshmallows or torn large marshmallows over the crackers. Drizzle a few spoonfuls of melted chocolate on top.
  6. Repeat layers of whipped cream, graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate until all ingredients are used, finishing with a whipped cream layer on top.
  7. Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the layers to meld and soften.
  8. Slice into squares and serve chilled. Optionally, microwave individual slices for 10-15 seconds before serving to enhance gooeyness.

Notes

Keep bowl and beaters cold for best whipped cream results. Melt chocolate slowly in short bursts to avoid burning. Chill at least 4 hours, overnight preferred for best texture. Microwave slices briefly before serving for extra gooeyness. Optional butter in graham crackers adds richness. Variations include dairy-free substitutions and adding berries or peanut butter.
