These frozen s'mores turn the classic campfire treat into a creamy, chocolatey frozen dessert that tastes like ice cream sandwiches met s'mores and had the best dessert baby ever. Crunchy graham crackers, silky dark chocolate, and fluffy coconut whipped cream come together in just 10 minutes of prep, then the freezer does all the work. I started making these last summer when I needed a vegan dessert that wouldn't heat up my kitchen, and now they're my go-to when I want something sweet that feels indulgent but comes together so easily.

Why You'll Love This Frozen S'mores Recipe
This vegan s'mores recipe is ridiculously simple and uses just four ingredients you can find at most grocery stores. There's no baking, no campfire, and no sticky marshmallow mess to clean up. The coconut whipped cream mixed with vanilla protein powder creates this soft, marshmallow-like texture that's creamy when it's slightly frozen and more ice cream-like when you freeze it overnight.
Kids love them because they taste like a special treat, and parents love them because they're lower in sugar than regular ice cream sandwiches and pack a little protein boost. Plus, you can make a whole batch in about 10 minutes, then just pull them out whenever you need a quick dessert.

Ingredients For frozen s'mores
Here's what you need to make these simple frozen s'mores.
See Recipe Card Below This Post For Ingredient Quantities
- Graham crackers: These form the crunchy outer layers and give you that classic s'mores flavor. You'll need 8 full sheets to make 4 sandwiches.
- Dark chocolate chips, melted: Adds rich chocolatey sweetness and helps hold everything together. Make sure to choose vegan chocolate chips if you're keeping this fully plant-based.
- Cocowhip or coconut whipped cream: This is the creamy filling that mimics marshmallow fluff when frozen. One 255-gram package is perfect for this recipe.
- Vanilla plant-based protein powder: Gives the filling a marshmallow-like texture and adds a subtle vanilla sweetness. Soy-based protein powder works best here.
How To Make frozen s'mores
These no-bake vegan treats come together in minutes and just need some time in the freezer.
Prepare the base: On a sheet pan or freezable container, lay down 4 graham cracker sheets side by side so they're ready for layering.
Add the chocolate layer: Spread the melted dark chocolate evenly over the top of each graham cracker, making sure to cover the whole surface.
Mix the filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the cocowhip with the vanilla protein powder, stirring until everything is smooth and well blended.
Spread the cream: Spread the whipped mixture over the chocolate layer on each graham cracker, spreading it evenly so every bite has plenty of creamy filling.
Top and sandwich: Place the remaining 4 graham cracker sheets on top of the whipped layer to create complete sandwiches.
Freeze for soft texture: Freeze for 2 to 4 hours if you want a slightly soft, marshmallow-like center that's easy to bite into.
Freeze longer for firmer texture: For a firmer, ice cream-like texture that's more solid, freeze overnight or up to 8 hours.
Ingredient Substitutions and Variations
Graham crackers: Outside North America, you can use plain slightly sweet whole-wheat crackers or digestive biscuits. Just look for something with a mild sweetness and a crunchy texture.
Protein powder: Soy-based protein powder works best for a smooth, creamy texture. Pea or hemp protein can make the filling taste a bit mealy or gritty, so I'd avoid those if possible.
Cocowhip: If you can't find Cocowhip locally, you can order it online or substitute with any coconut whipped cream that comes in a tub. Just make sure it's thick enough to spread and hold its shape.
Chocolate chips: Any vegan dark chocolate chips work here. You can also use semi-sweet if you prefer a less intense chocolate flavor.
Equipment For frozen s'mores
You only need two things for this easy 4-ingredient dessert.
- Sheet pan or freezable container: Something flat that fits in your freezer and can hold 4 graham cracker sandwiches without them sliding around.
- Mixing bowl: For combining the cocowhip and protein powder until smooth.
How to Store Frozen S'mores
Keep these frozen s'mores dessert treats in an airtight container or wrapped individually in parchment paper, then store them in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. They're best eaten straight from the freezer, though if they're frozen overnight, you might want to let them sit out for 2 to 3 minutes to soften slightly before biting in. I like to wrap each one separately so I can grab just one whenever I need a quick sweet fix.
Serving Suggestions
These kid-friendly frozen s'mores treats are perfect on their own, but here are a few cozy ways to enjoy them:
- With fresh berries: Serve alongside a small bowl of strawberries or raspberries for a little fruity contrast to the chocolatey richness.
- Afternoon snack: Pull one out after school or during summer afternoons when you need something cold and refreshing.
- Movie night treat: These are way better than store-bought ice cream sandwiches and make movie nights feel extra special.
- With a drizzle: Add a tiny drizzle of almond butter or extra melted chocolate on top right before serving if you're feeling fancy.

Expert Tips
Use room-temperature cocowhip: If your coconut whipped cream is too cold, it'll be harder to mix with the protein powder. Let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes before mixing.
Spread chocolate quickly: Melted chocolate starts to set fast, so work quickly when spreading it over the graham crackers. If it hardens too much, pop it in the microwave for another 10 seconds.
Don't skip the protein powder: It might seem optional, but the protein powder is what gives the filling that marshmallow-like texture. Without it, the cocowhip alone can freeze too icy.
Line your pan: If you're worried about the sandwiches sticking, line your sheet pan with parchment paper before assembling.
Try different chocolate: Swap dark chocolate for white chocolate chips or even peanut butter chips for a completely different flavor.
