This Easy No-Bake S’mores Icebox Cake is a quick, 15-minute dessert that captures the sticky, chocolatey joy of a campfire s’more without ever lighting a match. It’s cool, creamy, and ridiculously simple, featuring layers of graham crackers, fluffy marshmallow cream, and rich chocolate.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sleeves (about 18 full sheets) graham crackers (classic honey kind)
  • 2 cups heavy cream, cold
  • 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme
  • 8 ounces chocolate bar (milk or semi-sweet), roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • Optional for topping: extra graham crackers crumbled, chocolate shavings, or mini marshmallows

Instructions

  1. Make the chocolate layer: Place chopped chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring after each, until almost completely melted. Let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Whip the cream: Pour cold heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract into a chilled mixing bowl. Beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form.
  3. Fold in the marshmallow fluff: Add the entire jar of marshmallow fluff to the whipped cream. Gently fold with a rubber spatula until fully combined and no white streaks remain.
  4. Assemble the first layer: Spread a thin layer (about ⅓ cup) of the marshmallow-cream mixture on the bottom of an 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish. Arrange a single layer of graham crackers on top, breaking to fit as needed.
  5. Add the chocolate drizzle: Drizzle about ¼ of the melted chocolate over the graham crackers.
  6. Spread the cream layer: Spread about ⅓ of the remaining marshmallow-cream mixture over the chocolate-drizzled crackers. Repeat layers: graham crackers, chocolate drizzle, cream mixture. You should get about 3 to 4 layers.
  7. Finish the top: Spread the last of the cream mixture on top. Drizzle remaining melted chocolate over it. Optionally, crumble extra graham crackers on top.
  8. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until the graham crackers have softened and the cake is set.

Notes

Don’t skip the chill time; 4 hours is the minimum, overnight is best. Use cold cream and a cold bowl for best whipped cream. Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning. Break graham crackers to fit, don’t crush them. Use a serrated knife to slice cleanly. This cake can be made the night before.
