This S’mores Icebox Cake is the perfect summertime dessert!
A S’mores Icebox Cake is quick & easy, and best of all…no-bake! You don’t have to heat up the house to make this treat, and it’s always a hit!
Assembling this cake couldn’t be easier. Just be sure to start out with a very thin layer of chocolate whipped cream on the bottom of the pan. This will keep the crackers in place as you begin building.
The layers are simple. Just graham crackers, hot fudge & marshmallows, plus some chocolate whipped cream to round it out!
Chocolate whipped cream is so easy to make. You can use cocoa powder or melted chocolate, but for this recipe I’ve gone super simple with the cocoa powder.
