This Easy No-Bake S’mores Icebox Cake is a game-changer for anyone who loves s’mores but hates the hassle of a campfire or turning on the oven in a heatwave. Ready in 10 minutes of active work, it layers graham crackers with a rich chocolate and marshmallow cream filling for a decadent, crowd-pleasing dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (about 14–16 whole sheets) graham crackers
  • 2 cups (480 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (270 g) milk chocolate chips
  • 1 jar (about 7 oz / 200 g) marshmallow fluff or creme
  • 1 cup (50 g) mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Crackers: Arrange full graham cracker sheets in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish, breaking or cutting to fit snugly in a single layer. Set aside.
  2. Whip the Cream: In a large mixing bowl, beat cold heavy whipping cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Sweeten the Cream: Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the whipped cream. Continue beating on medium speed for 30-60 seconds until stiff peaks form.
  4. Fold in the Marshmallow Fluff: Gently fold the marshmallow fluff into the whipped cream using a rubber spatula until uniform and fluffy.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: Place chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Let cool for 1-2 minutes.
  6. First Layer: Pour about one-third of the whipped cream mixture over the graham crackers and spread evenly. Drizzle about one-third of the melted chocolate over the cream and swirl slightly.
  7. Repeat the Layers: Place another layer of graham crackers on top, pressing gently. Repeat with another third of cream and chocolate. Add a third layer of graham crackers, remaining cream, and remaining chocolate.
  8. Top with Mini Marshmallows: Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over the top layer and press gently.
  9. Chill: Cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
  10. Serve: For toasted marshmallows, broil the top for 1-2 minutes just before serving, watching closely. Let sit 5 minutes, then slice and serve cold.

Notes

The overnight chill is non-negotiable for the graham crackers to soften into a cake-like texture. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free whipped topping and dairy-free chocolate chips. Toasting the marshmallows under the broiler adds a campfire vibe but watch closely to avoid burning.
