Confession: I eat dessert every single night. No, I’m not exaggerating. Whether it’s a simple bowl of fruit or a full-blown decadent brownie, I always make sure to enjoy a delightfully sweet nightcap. Why? Because I deserve it and trust me, so do you!

During the Summer months, I prefer desserts of the frozen variety: milkshakes, sorbets, yogurt bark etc. These hot Dallas days are no joke and frosted delicacies keep me cool and sane. As of late, my dessert of choice has been these Frozen S’more Cookie Bars! Crunchy, creamy, delicious and cool, these bars are too good and oh so gratifying.

Celebrate Summer by layering together the frozen dessert you 100% need! And guess what, they’re a bit more guilt-free than you might think.

Get ready for a flavor rollercoaster! We’re talking the creamy dreaminess of vanilla ice cream, the rich boldness of chocolate, and that unmistakable sweet graham cracker crunch. And let’s not forget the star of the show – marshmallows bringing the sugar rush!

Nope, you don’t need to be a gourmet chef for this. If you can mix, layer, and freeze, you’re in business. It’s as easy as pie (but cooler!).

Ingredients

Listen, don’t be fooled by the fact that I write recipes for a living. I appreciate a lazy recipe just like everyone else! Sometimes, I need something sweet and satisfying without any accompanying hassle or mess. I’m talking 5 ingredients and less than 30 minutes of work, is that not amazing?

This is all you need:

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough– this may be surprising but I almost always have a store-bought cookie dough on hand. Who doesn’t care to cut a couple corners and still enjoy a buttery, sweet dessert?
  • Graham Cracker Squares– s’mores aren’t possible without crisp, honey-sweetened graham crackers.
  • Planet Oat Non-Dairy Vanilla or Cookies and Creme Frozen Dessert– classic vanilla flavor combined with delicious creaminess to make the ultimate frozen dessert. Either flavor option is great, just decide how crazy you’re trying to get!
  • Planet Oat Non-Dairy Chocolate Frozen Dessert– with unmistakable rich, indulgent chocolate in each bite, this frozen dessert is essential to creating our s’mores chocolate layer.
  • Marshmallows- Marshmallows are fluffy, vanilla-ey and perfect when roasted to a charred crisp.

Storage

As mentioned in the instructions below, these bars should be kept frozen; the marshmallow topping should only be torched when ready to serve. I suggest only slicing as many bars as you’ll immediately need and storing the rest in an airtight container. Alternatively, you can also wrap the bars using plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Once frozen, these bars will maintain their best quality for about 3 months, although they will typically remain safe to eat after that.

Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 16 minutes
Chill Time 10 hours
Total Time 10 hours 46 minutes
Course: Dessert
Servings: 12 bars

Ingredients

  • 16.5 oz package chocolate chip cookie dough
  • 1 1/2 pints Planet Oat Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Vanilla softened
  • 14-16 graham crackers
  • 1 1/2 pints Planet Oat Non-Dairy Frozen Dessert Chocolate softened
  • Marshmallows to use

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Completely line a 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Make sure the parchment overlaps on all sides of the pan (so you can lift your dessert out later) and set aside.
  • Using a bit of flour on your fingers, evenly press the cookie dough into the bottom of the pan.
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes then cool completely. You can even put the pan in the fridge to speed this up.
  • Once cooled, evenly spread 1 ½ of the vanilla (or cookies and cream) frozen dessert pints over the cookie dough crust using a spatula then add graham crackers in an even layer over the vanilla frozen dessert (if you need to split the crackers in half to fit, it's totally fine) and place the pan in the freezer for about 1-2 hrs or until layer is firm.
  • Next layer 1 ½ pints of the chocolate frozen dessert over the graham crackers evenly. Finally layer with marshmallows and add to the freezer for at least 5 hours or best if overnight.
  • When ready to serve, gently remove the ice cream bars from the baking pan by lifting using the hanging parchment carefully. Using a sharp knife that has run under hot water and been dried, cut into squares using the marshmallows to guide you.
  • Only when ready to serve, torch the tops of the marshmallows and eat immediately. Store remaining untorched bars in the freezer and only torch when ready to serve them.
