The 9×13 Life: The All Time Favorite Frozen S’mores Dessert

This dessert is so easy to prepare, yet it’s always exciting to enjoy!

You can count on this dessert, a people pleaser for young and old. Just make sure you have all the ingredients on hand and you’re halfway there. The hardest part is waiting for the ice cream to soften enough. 

Graham crackers in a Ziploc bag

Start by crushing those graham crackers. You can do this in the sleeve they come in or in a Ziploc bag (there’s no need to pull out the food processor).

Add them to the pan.

and pat them down.

This is when the ice cream comes in…

once you spread the softened ice cream on your crust, put the pan back in the freezer until the ice cream is nice and firm.

Our chocolate sauce is made from equal parts corn syrup, peanut butter, and chocolate syrup.

One-third cup each should do it.

You can adjust amounts as needed. Just keep them equal.

Pour over the frozen ice cream

and, using a spatula, distribute evenly.

Place the mini marshmallows over the chocolate fudge.

This last part is the most exciting… it’s time to roast the marshmallows. You can dump a bag of mini marshmallows on top or line them up neatly as shown  (it depends if you need a busy job for a little helper).

In these go under the broiler…

And one minute later…nice and toasty.

Hurry and get this back into the freezer. It is ice cream after all!

9×13 Frozen S’Mores Dessert

Ingredients

  • box (1 sleeve) graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tub ice cream (any variety)
  • cup each Equal amounts of corn syrup, peanut butter, and chocolate syrup. Usually ⅓ cup each works.
  • mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Crush the graham crackers in a resealable bag (or any way you like, we prefer not to pull out a food processor). Place in a 9×13 pan.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of oil and mix. Press down using a fork. Bake for 10 minutes. Let cool. Once the ice cream is softened enough, pour it over the cooled crust and spread evenly. Freeze. (We like to freeze it overnight at this point.)
  • In a bowl, mix together the corn syrup, peanut butter, and chocolate syrup. You can adjust amounts as needed. Just keep them equal. Pour over the frozen ice cream and, using a spatula, distribute evenly.
  • Place the mini marshmallows over the chocolate fudge.
  • Preheat the oven to broil. Place pan under the broiler while watching carefully. It only needs a minute or so! Once the marshmallows are browned and puffed up, remove from oven and return to freezer until ready to serve.

    Yummmmm!! We’re peanut free here, can I skip the PB and just use chocolate and corn syrup? Or should I replace with something else? (Lotus butter?)

      Yes, substitute with any nut or cookie butter

      Soy butter is the best substitute for peanut butter. I’ve used it many times, and if you didn’t know, you couldn’t tell that it wasn’t peanut butter..

    What size tub of ice cream?

      Any size will work. Basically it depends on the size of the pan you’re using. Bigger pan= more ice cream. And so on….

    Check the broiler well before the one minute mark – when we left it in for a few seconds past a minute, the entire top of the dessert was in flames! (My kids claimed they actually enjoyed it that way for the authentic campfire taste)

    I was shocked that this went over so well with my family. Most of us aren’t peanut butter fans, but every single family member licked their plates clean!!! It was so easy to make and was such an unexpected hit!!! Will definitely be making this again!! Perfect for hot summer days!!

    I made this dessert 3 times already, it’s a family favorite! I don’t like chocolate syrup so I did regular chocolate, peanut butter, and a bit of honey for the chocolate layer, and it was so yummy! When the oven was not preheated, it took 1-2 minutes to broil, and when it was preheated, it burned in under a minute.
