How to Make S’mores Lasagna
Ingredients:
- 1 pkg instant chocolate pudding (3.4 oz)
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1 container Cool Whip (8 oz)
- 1 jar marshmallow cream fluff (7 oz)
- 1 cup mini marshmallows (toasted)
- 2 pkg chocolate graham crackers
- 1 pkg graham crackers
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 2-3 tbsp powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp sweetened cocoa powder
- 24 large marshmallows (optional for topping)
- Hot fudge sauce (optional for drizzle)
Directions:
- Prepare the Pudding: In a bowl, whisk the instant chocolate pudding with milk until fully dissolved. Refrigerate for about 10 minutes until firm.
- Make the Marshmallow Cool Whip Mixture: In another bowl, combine the Cool Whip and marshmallow creme. Beat until smooth. Toast the mini marshmallows by microwaving them for 10 seconds in a heatproof bowl and lightly toasting with a kitchen torch. Mix them into the Cool Whip mixture.
- Assemble the Lasagna: Line a 9×13 inch pan with tin foil or parchment paper.
- Layer 1: Lay down a layer of chocolate graham crackers on the bottom of the pan. Spread 1/3 of the marshmallow Cool Whip mixture over the graham crackers.
- Layer 2: Spread half of the chocolate pudding over the marshmallow mixture. Add a layer of regular graham crackers. Spread another 1/3 of the marshmallow Cool Whip mixture over the graham crackers. Spread the remaining pudding on top.
- Layer 3: Add a layer of chocolate graham crackers and top with the remaining marshmallow cream mixture.
- Make Chocolate Whipped Cream: Using a stand mixer, beat the heavy cream on medium-high until bubbly. Add 2 tbsp powdered sugar and 2 tbsp cocoa powder. Continue beating until stiff peaks form. Spread the chocolate whipped cream over the final graham cracker layer.
- Chill: Refrigerate for 2-4 hours to let the layers set.
- Optional Topping: For added marshmallow fun, top with microwaved marshmallows and lightly toast them using a kitchen torch. Drizzle hot fudge over the top and sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs for extra crunch. Enjoy!
