Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer:
- 1 package instant chocolate pudding mix (3.9 oz)
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Creamy Layer:
- 1 container whipped topping (8 oz), thawed
- 1 cup marshmallow creme
Base and Topping:
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Crush 2 cups graham crackers (240g) and blend with 6 tablespoons melted butter (85g) until thoroughly combined. Press mixture firmly into bottom of a 9×9-inch baking dish, creating an even crust layer. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
- Whisk 3.9 oz instant chocolate pudding mix with 2 cups cold milk (480ml) for 2 minutes until mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Allow pudding to rest for 3-4 minutes to achieve perfect consistency.
- Mix 8 oz (226g) thawed whipped topping with 1 cup (340g) marshmallow creme until texture becomes light and uniform. Blend gently to maintain airy structure.
- Spread half of marshmallow mixture over chilled graham cracker base. Carefully distribute chocolate pudding across marshmallow layer using offset spatula to create even coverage.
- Add remaining marshmallow mixture on top of chocolate pudding layer. Smooth surface with gentle strokes to prevent disturbing underlying layers.
- Scatter 1 cup (170g) mini marshmallows, 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips, and 1 cup (120g) crushed graham crackers across dessert surface. Distribute toppings evenly for balanced appearance.
- Refrigerate dessert for 3-4 hours at 38°F (3°C) until layers set completely. Slice into 9 equal squares before serving.
Notes
- Check graham cracker crust ingredients are finely crushed for a smooth, even base that holds together perfectly.
- Chill layers completely between additions to help each component set firmly and maintain distinct texture.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature before mixing to ensure a silky, lump-free filling that spreads easily.
- When toasting marshmallow topping, watch carefully to get golden brown color without burning – a kitchen torch works great for precise control.
