How to make frozen protein s’mores

Full recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of the post! Most frozen s’mores are made with marshmallow fluff and processed ingredients. These are a fun, more wholesome spin on the classic! Dreamy whipped topping replaces marshmallow fluff but creates the most decadent, creamy filling!

Ingredients

  • Graham crackers: Use whatever fits your dietary needs! For a paleo option, you can use Simple Mills grahams or cookies and layer them across the bottom of the pan, like you’d lay the graham crackers!
  • Protein powder: Be suer to use a flavor you love as this will affect the taste of the whipped topping! My favorite to use is Macro Mike – their flavors are clean and taste like dessert! I used salted caramel for these! My code for them is “amb-dani”.
  • Tub of Coconut whipped topping or cool whip: I like to use the SoDelicious coconut whipped topping, however you can use Tru Whip, Cool whip, etc. I prefer to use one with wholesome ingredients and no additives or preservatives!
  • Chocolate chips: Any chocolate will work – use your favorite; semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, or dark chocolate! I used Hu Kitchen!
  • Peanut butter: This is totally optional, but I love stirring some into the whipped topping. It makes them even tastier!!

steps to make frozen s’mores

  1. Prepare the Protein Filling: Add the protein to your tub of whipped topping, along with the peanut butter, if using. Mix well until no lumps remain and it’s smooth, thick, and creamy.
  2. Assemble the S’mores: Lay half of the graham crackers flat on a parchment-lined square baking pan. Scoop a generous amount of the protein filling onto the crackers and spread evenly.
  3. Dip in Dark Chocolate: In a small bowl, melt the chocolate. Use the double-boiler method or simply heat in the microwave in 30 second increments mixing between each, until smooth. Pour this over the whipped topping layer, gently spreading it out. Place the remaining graham crackers over top and just slightly and gently press them down to stick.
  4. Freeze: Freeze the assembled s’mores for at least 3-4 hours or until firm. The longer they freeze, the more the whipped topping layer will firm up!

FAQ’s & Tips for Success

  •  Using parchment paper is a must! Leaving the overhanging edges will help remove the bars from the tray!
  • Keep It Cold: These treats are best enjoyed straight from the freezer, so store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer!
  • For a neater presentation and cleaner lines, trim any excess frozen filling from around the bars. 
  • Thaw your cool whip. Take it out when you take the cream cheese out of the fridge so you don’t forget to do either one!
  • Can I make these ahead of time? Yes! Assemble them and freeze the batch of frozen s’mores up to 24 hours in advance. When you’re ready to serve them, allow them to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes first.

Recipe variations

  • Add nut butter to the whipped topping! Cashew butter, almond butter, and peanut butter all take these over the top!
  • Stir chocolate chips or nuts into the whipped topping for extra crunch.
  • Stir cinnamon into the whipped topping.
  • Use white chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate!
  • Toss in some sprinkles, because they make everything more fun!

Storage

If you’re not eating the frozen s’mores right away, wrap each square individually with plastic wrap and transfer them to a freezer bag. Keep frozen for up to 3 months.

        1. Hi Dom! So I dont include nutritionals just because different brands yield such different macros! I recommend plugging the recipe into my fitness pal or another similar app with the exact brands you use for the most accurate idea of calories!

  1. Havent made yet but have a question…in both this and the strawberry version under faq you say to take the cool whip out of freezer at the same time as the cream cheese but i don’t see cream cheese in either recipe…?! Cream cheese needed or not? Hoping not bc non dairy is hard to find.

  2. Also wondering about the cream cheese?? It isn’t listed as an ingredient but referred to in the tips for success

    1. Hi Cindy! Im so sorry, i’m not sure where you are seeing cream cheese! I just double checked and can’t seem to find where it’s mentioned in the post – but there is no cream cheese in this recipe! Sorry for any confusion! (:

      1. You mention cream cheese in the “faqs and tips for success,” both this and the strawberry version…
