Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups heavy cream
- 1 8-oz container frozen whipped topping (thawed, e.g., Cool Whip)
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 5.9-oz package instant chocolate pudding mix
- 1 7-oz jar marshmallow crème (e.g., Marshmallow Fluff)
- 15 full-size graham crackers (approximately 8.3 oz, divided)
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace by thawing whipped topping at room temperature. Let cream cheese soften for 45 minutes. Create a parchment paper sling in a 9×13-inch pan, allowing excess paper to hang over edges for easy removal.
- Divide graham crackers in half. Arrange eight halves in a single layer across the pan’s bottom, ensuring pieces are touching but not necessarily covering entire surface.
- In a mixer, blend cream cheese and marshmallow crème until smooth. Gently fold in two cups of whipped topping, creating a creamy marshmallow mixture. Spread evenly over graham cracker base.
- Whisk heavy cream with instant chocolate pudding mix until completely integrated. Incorporate remaining whipped topping, mixing until uniform. Carefully distribute chocolate layer over marshmallow mixture.
- Complete layering by arranging remaining graham cracker halves across the chocolate pudding, creating a final structured surface.
- Seal pan with cover and transfer to freezer. Freeze for minimum six hours until dessert becomes completely solid and firm.
- Remove from freezer. Lift entire dessert using parchment paper sling. Transfer to cutting board and slice into 15 precisely portioned squares, using graham cracker edges as cutting guides.
Notes
- Take cream cheese out of the refrigerator well in advance and let it sit at room temperature to ensure smooth, lump-free mixing for a silky texture.
- Replace traditional graham crackers with gluten-free alternatives or chocolate graham crackers for dietary variations or added flavor complexity.
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt or whipped coconut cream instead of frozen whipped topping to reduce overall calories and add a tangy twist.
- Cover the dessert with plastic wrap directly touching the surface to prevent ice crystals from forming and maintain a creamy, smooth consistency during freezing.
