S’MORES LASAGNA INGREDIENTS

s’mores lasagna raw ingredients that are labeled

You will need:

For the First Layer

2¼ cups graham cracker crumbs plus 2 tablespoons crumbs for topping
½ cup butter, melted (1 stick, 113 grams)
¼ cup sugar

For the Second Layer

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces Cool Whip
1 cup powdered sugar

For the Third Layer

2 (5.1-ounce) boxes of instant chocolate pudding
3 cups milk

For the Fourth Layer

8 ounces Cool Whip
¼ cup graham cracker crumbs
3 cups marshmallows, miniature
Hershey candy bar squares
Chocolate syrup for drizzle

Pro Tip: A total of 16 ounces of Cool Whip is used. You can buy the large 16-ounce container and split it in half between the third and top layers or buy two 8 ounce containers.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

Cool Whip: If you would prefer to make your own whipped cream, we have a recipe here to help you.

Marshmallows: Make this into a unicorn s’mores version by replacing the white mini marshmallows with colorful ones. If you don’t have miniature marshmallows, you could use regular large marshmallows cut in half for your marshmallow layer.

Chocolate Chips: If this isn’t sweet enough already, mix some mini chocolate chips, either semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips into the chocolate pudding layer.

HOW TO MAKE THIS S’MORES LASAGNA RECIPE

For the First Layer

STEP ONE: In a medium mixing bowl stir together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar.

PRO TIP: If your graham crackers don’t come crushed, you can crush them yourself. Add whole graham crackers to a food processor and run on high for 30 seconds and then pulse until desired crumb texture or you can place the graham crackers in a plastic storage bag, seal and roll over with a rolling pin until crushed.

STEP TWO: Prepare a 9 x 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Using the bottom of a glass or metal measuring cup, press the crust down firmly and then chill for 2 hours before adding the next layer.

For the Second Layer

STEP THREE: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, mix together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

STEP FIVE: In a large bowl, whisk chocolate pudding and milk until the mixture just begins to thicken. Spread the chocolate pudding mixture over the cream cheese layer. Chill for 15 minutes.

STEP SIX: Spread the 8 ounces of Cool Whip over the top of the dessert. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the top. Sprinkle a layer of miniature marshmallows over the top of the dessert. Chill until ready to serve.

STEP SEVEN: Right before serving, use a kitchen torch on a low flame setting and lightly toast the top of the marshmallows until brown.

PRO TIP: If you don’t own a kitchen torch, place the marshmallows on a shallow baking sheet and place them under the broiler. Watch closely and shake the pan frequently to brown all sides of the marshmallows and prevent sticking to the pan. Once they reach a golden brown remove and let cool. Once the pan has cooled, place the pan in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes to firm them up and then loosen them from the pan and place them on top of the Cool Whip/crumb sprinkle layer.

HOW TO SERVE

Serve this no-bake s’mores lasagna recipe with a drizzle of our hot fudge sauce and vanilla ice cream on the side for an extra decadent confection. Add iced tea, raspberry iced tea, sweet peach iced tea, or our southern strawberry sweet tea to wash it all down.

STORAGE

IN THE FRIDGE: Store this s’mores layered dessert with the top of the pan covered with tin foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

IN THE FREEZER: Freeze this easy s’mores lasagna covered. It would be best to freeze without the marshmallow layer and add them fresh before serving the dessert.

FAQ

Can I freeze this recipe?

You can freeze this for up to a month, but we recommend waiting to add the marshmallows on top until right before you are ready to serve.

Can I make this ahead of time?

This recipe is actually best if you make it ahead of time and let it chill to make sure all of the layers are set.

What if I don’t have a torch to brown the marshmallows?

You can brown the marshmallows a little bit under the broiler in the oven. We provide instructions above for how to do that.

Can I use chocolate graham crackers instead of regular graham crackers for the crust?

For an extra chocolatey version of this dessert, you could use chocolate graham cracker crumbs.

Can I use marshmallow creme or marshmallow fluff instead of miniature marshmallows?

We would highly recommend using actual marshmallows in this recipe but in a pinch those products would also work.
