The texture is irresistible, with crunchy graham crackers, silky chocolate pudding, and gooey marshmallow cream all in one bite. It’s a great make-ahead option for parties, potlucks, or casual family nights.

Directions

I start by lining the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish with graham crackers, breaking them if needed to cover the entire base.
In a bowl, I beat together softened cream cheese and marshmallow creme until smooth and fluffy. I fold in some cool whip to lighten it up.
I spread the marshmallow mixture over the graham crackers, making sure it’s evenly layered.
In a separate bowl, I whisk together the chocolate pudding mix with cold milk until it thickens, then layer it over the marshmallow layer.
I add another layer of graham crackers, followed by the remaining whipped topping on top.
To finish, I sprinkle mini marshmallows, a handful of chocolate chips or drizzle some hot fudge, and a bit of crushed graham crackers over everything.
I refrigerate the lasagna for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to let the layers set and the flavors meld together.

Servings and timing

This dessert makes about 12 servings and takes roughly 20 minutes to assemble. I always allow at least 4 hours of chill time in the fridge before serving for the best texture.

Variations

Sometimes I add a layer of peanut butter between the graham and marshmallow layer for a peanut butter s’mores twist. If I want more texture, I toss in some crushed pretzels or chopped nuts. I’ve also swapped the chocolate pudding for a cookies and cream flavor, and it was a huge hit. For a richer finish, I torch the top marshmallows slightly for that toasted effect.

Storage/reheating

I keep leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days. Because it’s a no-bake dessert, there’s no reheating necessary—just slice and enjoy straight from the fridge. I avoid freezing it, since the texture of the whipped layers and pudding can break down after thawing.

FAQs

How long can I store S’mores Lasagna in the fridge?

I usually keep it in the fridge for up to 4 days. The graham crackers get softer over time but still taste great.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Yes, in fact I prefer making it the night before so it has time to set and develop flavor.

What if I don’t have marshmallow creme?

If I’m out of marshmallow creme, I’ve melted mini marshmallows with a splash of milk to create a similar consistency.

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of Cool Whip?

Absolutely. I’ve used fresh whipped cream, just make sure it’s stabilized a bit with powdered sugar or gelatin if I’m storing it for more than a day.

Is there a gluten-free option?

Yes, I swap the graham crackers with gluten-free graham-style crackers and double-check that all the other ingredients are certified gluten-free.

Conclusion

S’mores Lasagna is a decadent, layered dessert that takes everything I love about the classic campfire treat and turns it into a chilled, creamy masterpiece. Whether I’m making it for a party, a family get-together, or just to satisfy a serious sweet craving, this recipe never disappoints. It’s simple, fun, and full of that nostalgic charm that only s’mores can bring.
