No Bake S'mores Icebox Cake

Jump to Recipe

No bake s'mores icebox cake is a layered, chilled dessert that brings all the flavors of a classic campfire treat, without ever turning on the oven. It's typically made by stacking layers of graham crackers, a creamy whipped filling (often marshmallow flavored or folded with whipped cream), and rich chocolate pudding or ganache. As it chills in the refrigerator, the graham crackers soften into a cake like texture, creating a sliceable dessert that's light, creamy, and nostalgic. It's finished with extra chocolate, marshmallow, or even a toasted topping for that true s'mores feel.

Ingredients:

Chocolate Layer:

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Pinch of salt

Honey Fluff Layer:

1½ cups homemade honey marshmallow fluff

1 cup heavy cream, whipped to soft peaks

For Layering:

1½-2 sleeves graham crackers

¼ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)

Flaky sea salt (optional, but highly encouraged)

Instructions: 

Make the Chocolate Cream

Heat 1 cup heavy cream until just steaming (not boiling).

Pour over chocolate chips and salt.

Let sit 2 minutes.

Whisk until smooth and glossy.

Cool at room temperature until thickened but spreadable (about 20-30 minutes).

Lighten the Honey Fluff

Whip 1 cup heavy cream to soft peaks.

Gently fold into the honey marshmallow fluff until fully combined and airy.

This makes the cake slice beautifully and keeps it from feeling too sweet.

Assemble the Icebox Cake

Line a loaf pan or 8x8 dish with parchment (optional for easy removal).

Layer in this order:

  • Graham crackers (break to fit as needed)
  • Chocolate layer
  • Honey fluff mixture
  • Sprinkle mini chocolate chips (optional)

Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours, preferably overnight.
