Frozen Protein S’mores (10.5 g Protein Easy No-Bake Dessert)
Ingredients
- ¾ cup dark chocolate (I love Hu Kitchen)
- 32 graham cracker squares (16 on bottom -16 on top)
- 2, 9 ounce tubs TruWhip Whipped Topping, thawed (or cocowhip for dairy-free) (18 oz total)
- 2 scoop (50 grams) vanilla or cookie dough protein powder (I use Clean Simple Eats – Code CLAIRE)
- 4 scoops (118grams) unflavored grass-fed whey protein powder OR 4 scoops of unflavored collagen (40 grams) I use Clean Simple Eats again
- Optional: 3-4 Tbs. natural creamy or crunchy peanut butter (I love this clean brand)
- Optional: flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line a rimmed (18 × 13-inch) baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt the dark chocolate until smooth, reserving about 1 tablespoon for drizzling over the top later.
- Arrange 16 graham cracker squares on the prepared baking sheet. Spread a thin layer of the melted chocolate over each graham cracker. Set in the freezer while you make the protein filling.
- In a large bowl, gently fold together the thawed TruWhip and both protein powders until smooth, thick, and fluffy.
- Pour the protein marshmallow mixture evenly among the chocolate-covered graham crackers and gently spread into an even layer.
- If using, drizzle a thin layer of natural peanut butter over the protein filling.
- Top with the remaining 16 graham cracker squares to create sandwiches. Gently press down, then drizzle with the reserved melted chocolate (re heat for 30 seconds to make speadable again) and sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired.
- Freeze for 1 hour for an extra gooey, creamy center, or 4 + hours (preferably overpreferably night) for the ultimate chewy marshmallow texture (my personal favorite).
- Enjoy! Transfer to an airtight freezer-safe container and store for up to 3 months.
Notes
For best results, par-freeze or store with parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking. Storage:
Store in an airtight freezer container for up to 3 months.
Enjoy straight from the freezer, or let sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes if you prefer an extra soft center. Make Ahead:
These are the perfect make-ahead dessert! Prepare an entire batch ahead of time and keep them stocked in your freezer for easy treats all summer long (and honestly, all year long). Recipe Tips:
Use good-quality chocolate—the chocolate flavor really shines in this recipe. I love using Hu Kitchen (sweetened with coconut sugar) or Enjoy Life.
If your peanut butter is thick, microwave it for 10–15 seconds to make drizzling easier. Variations:
Use vanilla, cookie dough, or marshmallow-flavored protein powder.
Use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate.
Make them dairy-free using vegan whipped topping and dairy-free chocolate.
Use gluten-free graham crackers.
Sprinkle crushed peanuts, mini chocolate chips, or crushed graham crackers over the chocolate before it hardens.

These Frozen Protein S’mores are the ultimate easy no-bake summer dessert! Made with graham crackers, a fluffy protein-packed “marshmallow” filling, rich dark chocolate, and optional peanut butter and flaky sea salt, they are sweet, creamy, gooey, slightly chewy, and seriously irresistible.
If you love s’mores but want an easy frozen treat you can keep stocked in your freezer, you have to make these!
There is something about the combination of crispy graham crackers, marshmallow, and chocolate that will forever be one of the best desserts. But these frozen s’mores take that classic combination and turn it into a creamy, cold dessert that is perfect for summer—or honestly, any time of year.
And the TEXTURE. I cannot even explain how good it is!
After about an hour in the freezer, the centers are soft, creamy, and gooey. If you let them freeze completely, the protein “marshmallow” layer becomes slightly chewy and tastes shockingly similar to that marshmallow texture you crave in a classic s’more.
The best part? The middle never gets rock hard!
The chocolate hardens into the most delicious shell, the graham crackers soften just slightly, and the center stays creamy and chewy. It is the perfect combination of textures.
I also make this recipe in a larger batch than most frozen smores recipes because if I’m making a freezer dessert, I want enough to actually keep in the freezer! These are amazing to have on hand during the summer months when you want a cold treat, but I already know we will be making them all year long.
You only need a handful of simple ingredients, there is no baking required, and they are so easy to customize. Add peanut butter for that sweet and salty flavor combination, sprinkle on some flaky sea salt, or keep them classic with just chocolate.
I have a feeling these are going to become a freezer staple!
Why You’ll Love These Frozen Protein S’mores
There are so many reasons these frozen protein smores need to be in your freezer!
- Easy to make: No baking, complicated equipment, or candy thermometer required.
- Higher in protein: Protein powder transforms the whipped filling into a delicious protein “marshmallow” layer.
- Perfect texture: Gooey after a short freeze and slightly chewy after freezing completely.
- Never rock hard: The creamy middle stays soft enough to bite into straight from the freezer.
- Large batch: This recipe makes 14 frozen s’mores, so you can keep your freezer stocked.
- Customizable: Add peanut butter, flaky sea salt, or both!
- Perfect for summer: Cold, refreshing, and no oven required.
- Kid-friendly: The whole family will love these.
- Meal-prep dessert: Make one batch and have dessert ready whenever the craving hits.
- Year-round delicious: Summer is the obvious time for frozen s’mores, but there is truly never a bad time for chocolate, graham crackers, and marshmallow flavor.

Frozen Smores
Classic s’mores will always have my heart, but frozen smores might be my new favorite way to enjoy this iconic dessert.
Traditional s’mores are made with graham crackers, toasted marshmallows, and chocolate. They are warm, gooey, messy, and delicious.
These frozen s’mores take those same flavors and completely transform the texture.
Instead of a toasted marshmallow, the center is made with whipped topping and protein powder. Once frozen, it creates a fluffy, creamy, slightly chewy layer that tastes so much like a marshmallow filling.
Then you have the chocolate.
The chocolate hardens in the freezer, giving each bite the perfect chocolate snap before you reach that softer center. If you add the optional peanut butter and flaky sea salt, you also get a salty, nutty flavor that balances the sweetness perfectly.
I love desserts that give you multiple textures in one bite, and these absolutely deliver.
Crispy.
Creamy.
Chewy.
Gooey.
Chocolatey.
They are SO GOOD.
For another healthy spin on the classic s’mores flavor, try my S’mores Collagen Cookies. They are chewy, gooey, and have 5 grams of protein per cookie!
Frozen Protein S’mores
What makes these frozen protein smores different from regular frozen s’mores?
The secret is protein powder!
Adding protein powder to the whipped topping does two important things.
First, it adds protein to the dessert. Obviously!
But even more importantly, it changes the texture of the filling.
When the protein powder is mixed into the fluffy whipped topping, it creates a thicker, more substantial filling. After freezing, the texture becomes slightly chewy—almost like a frozen marshmallow.
It does not freeze into a solid block.
It does not become icy.
And it does not get so hard that you need to wait forever before eating it.
The middle stays surprisingly soft and creamy, even after the s’mores have been frozen completely.
The type of protein powder you use will also slightly change the flavor. I love cookie dough protein powder because it adds a sweet, bakery-style flavor that works perfectly with the graham crackers and chocolate.
Vanilla protein powder is also delicious and gives you more of a classic marshmallow flavor.

Frozen Smores Recipe
This frozen smores recipe is made with just a few simple ingredients, but every ingredient has an important role.
You have the graham crackers for that classic s’mores flavor and crunch.
The whipped topping creates the fluffy base for our frozen marshmallow filling.
Protein powder adds flavor, protein, and that amazing slightly chewy texture.
Dark chocolate creates the rich chocolate shell.
And then you can add natural peanut butter and flaky sea salt to balance out the sweetness.
Simple ingredients. Amazing texture. The best freezer dessert.
Ingredients and Their Benefits
Here is everything you need to make these frozen protein s’mores and why each ingredient works so well.
Whipped Topping
Whipped topping creates the light, fluffy base of our protein marshmallow filling.
I love using TruWhip because it has several different varieties, so you can choose the option that works best for your dietary preferences. You can use their original, vegan, keto, or another variation.
Just make sure the whipped topping is thawed before mixing in the protein powder.
The airiness of the whipped topping is one of the reasons the filling does not freeze rock solid. It keeps the center creamy, soft, and easy to bite into.
Protein Powder
Protein powder is the secret ingredient that makes these different from your average frozen s’mores recipe.
I love using cookie dough or vanilla protein powder.
Cookie dough protein powder gives the filling an extra sweet, dessert-like flavor, while vanilla creates more of a classic marshmallow-inspired taste.
I use Clean Simple Eats protein powder. You can use code CLAIRE!
Protein powder also thickens the whipped topping slightly and helps create that incredible chewy texture once frozen.
If you love sneaking protein into dessert, try my Protein Cookie Dough Hearts too. They are an easy no-bake dessert and perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth.
Graham Crackers
You cannot have a s’more without graham crackers!
They give these frozen s’mores their classic flavor and provide structure for the creamy filling.
One of my favorite things about the graham crackers in this recipe is how their texture changes slightly as the s’mores freeze. They are not as hard or crunchy as a freshly opened graham cracker, but they do not become soggy either.
They soften just enough to make the frozen s’mores easy to bite into.
For another fun graham cracker recipe, try my Nutella S’mores Baked Oatmeal. It is another delicious way to enjoy s’mores flavors!
Dark Chocolate
Dark chocolate adds rich chocolate flavor and creates a delicious hardened shell once the s’mores are frozen.
I love using Hu Kitchen chocolate, but you can use your favorite chocolate bar or chocolate chips.
The richness of dark chocolate also helps balance the sweet protein marshmallow filling.
Once frozen, the chocolate becomes firm and gives you the most satisfying texture with the creamy center.
Natural Peanut Butter
The peanut butter is optional, but I highly recommend trying it!
Look for a natural peanut butter made with just peanuts and salt.
You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter. Creamy will give you a smoother texture, while crunchy adds little pieces of peanuts to every bite.
The salty, nutty flavor balances the sweetness of the protein powder filling and gives these a little bit of a Snickers-inspired flavor.
Chocolate + peanut butter + sea salt? You cannot go wrong.
If you are a chocolate peanut butter lover, you also need my Chocolate Peanut Butter Ninja Creami and Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bars.
Flaky Sea Salt
Flaky sea salt is another optional ingredient, but it makes these frozen s’mores feel extra special.
A small sprinkle on top of the chocolate helps balance the sweetness and brings out the chocolate and peanut butter flavors.
Do not use regular table salt here. You want those beautiful little flakes of sea salt on top!
Frozen Smore
Can you make just one frozen smore?
Technically, yes.
But why would you?!
One of the best things about this recipe is that it makes a larger batch.
Many frozen s’mores recipes make a relatively small number of sandwiches. I intentionally wanted this recipe to make more because these are the kind of dessert you will be so happy to find waiting in your freezer.
Once you do the work of mixing the filling and assembling everything, you might as well make enough for later!
This recipe makes 14 frozen s’mores, which is perfect for families, summer parties, cookouts, or simply keeping your freezer stocked.
You can grab one whenever you want a sweet treat without having to make dessert from scratch every night.
How to Make Frozen Smores
So, how to make frozen smores?
The process is so simple!
First, you make the protein marshmallow filling by combining the thawed whipped topping and protein powder.
Then, you arrange half of the graham cracker squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet or freezer-safe tray.
Divide the protein filling between the graham crackers and gently spread it into an even layer.
If you are adding peanut butter, drizzle or spread it over the filling.
Top each one with another graham cracker square to create a sandwich.
From there, the s’mores go into the freezer to firm up.
Once they are cold enough to handle easily, add the melted chocolate and flaky sea salt.
Then freeze again until they reach your perfect texture!
For the exact measurements, freezing times, and complete step-by-step instructions, scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
Frozen S’mores Texture
The best part about Frozen S’mores is that you can choose the texture you want based on how long you freeze them.
This is where things get really good.
If you freeze them for about an hour, the center is softer and gooier.
The filling is cold and thick but still very creamy. This is perfect if you love an extra soft, messy s’more.
If you let them freeze completely, the texture changes.
The protein marshmallow center becomes slightly chewy and literally tastes like that marshmallow texture you crave!
It is honestly amazing.
Even when frozen completely, the center never becomes super hard. You can still bite into it straight from the freezer.
The chocolate, however, does harden.
This gives you a firm chocolate layer with a soft and chewy center, and the contrast is so delicious.
You really cannot go wrong with either texture.
Try one after an hour.
Then try another after they have frozen completely.
For research, obviously.
Frozen S’Mores Flavor Variations
The beauty of this frozen ’s mores recipe is how easy it is to customize.
You can make the base recipe exactly as written or change the flavors depending on what you have on hand.
Here are a few delicious variations:
- Use vanilla protein powder for a classic marshmallow flavor.
- Use cookie dough protein powder for a sweeter bakery-style flavor.
- Add natural peanut butter for a salty-sweet combination.
- Use crunchy peanut butter for extra texture.
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate.
- Use milk chocolate instead of dark chocolate for a sweeter version.
- Try a dairy-free whipped topping for a dairy-free option.
- Use gluten-free graham crackers if needed.
- Dip half of each s’more in chocolate instead of drizzling the tops.
- Add crushed graham crackers over the melted chocolate.
- Sprinkle chopped peanuts over the chocolate.
- Add mini chocolate chips to the protein filling.
There are so many possibilities!
High Protein S’Mores Recipe
If you are looking for an easy Protein ’s mores recipe, this is one of the simplest ways to turn a classic dessert into a more protein-packed treat.
I love adding protein to recipes when it actually improves the recipe instead of simply adding it for the sake of adding protein.
That is exactly what happens here.
The protein powder does not just increase the protein content. It is one of the key reasons the filling has such an amazing texture.
It thickens the whipped topping and creates that slightly chewy, marshmallow-like consistency after freezing.
This is also why I recommend using a protein powder you genuinely love the flavor of.
There are very few ingredients in this recipe, so the protein powder flavor matters!
Cookie dough and vanilla are my top choices because both pair perfectly with chocolate, peanut butter, and graham crackers.
For more protein-packed dessert inspiration, try my Best Chocolate Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream or my Easy Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.
High Protein ’S Mores Dessert
This High protein ’s mores dessert is perfect when you want something that tastes indulgent but also contains some added protein.
No, I am not saying a frozen s’more needs to replace a complete meal.
It is dessert!
But I love finding simple ways to add protein to foods my family already enjoys, especially when it makes the texture even better.
These frozen s’mores are satisfying because they combine a creamy filling, rich chocolate, graham crackers, and optional peanut butter.
The peanut butter also adds a little more protein and healthy fats, making these feel even more satisfying.
If you want even more high-protein frozen dessert recipes, my Creamsicle Ice Cream is refreshing, creamy, and made with just four simple ingredients.
Snickers Frozen Protein Smores
Want to turn these into Snickers frozen protein smores?
Add the peanut butter!
The combination of dark chocolate, natural peanut butter, and flaky sea salt gives these a delicious Snickers-inspired flavor.
For even more Snickers flavor, use crunchy peanut butter or sprinkle finely chopped peanuts over the chocolate before it hardens.
The combination is so good:
Sweet protein marshmallow filling.
Salty peanut butter.
Rich dark chocolate.
Crunchy peanuts.
Flaky sea salt.
It is not a traditional s’more anymore, but it is absolutely delicious.
I especially love this version because the peanut butter and salt help balance the sweetness of the whipped filling and protein powder.
If you love this flavor combination, my Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Ice Cream is another must-try frozen dessert.
Protein S’Mores Bars
These Protein ’s mores bars are so easy to make because you layer all the ingredients in a parchment-lined pan or rimmed baking sheet.
Arrange the graham crackers in a single layer, add melted dark chocolate, the protein marshmallow filling, add peanut butter if desired, and top with another layer of graham crackers.
Once frozen, you can slice the dessert into bars!
Frozen Protein S Mores Chelseasmessyapron
If you searched for Frozen protein s mores chelseasmessyapron, you may have seen the viral idea of adding protein powder to whipped topping for frozen s’mores.
My version is unique because it makes a larger batch and includes another scoop of UNFLAVORED protein powder to add an additional protein and make them less sweet. My recipe also adds optional natural peanut butter and flaky sea salt for the perfect sweet-salty combo.
Those three additions might sound simple, but they make such a difference!
The saltiness balances the sweet filling, and the peanut butter adds richness and makes the dessert even more satisfying.
I also love making a bigger batch because these freeze so well. If I am going to make a freezer dessert, I want enough to enjoy later!
Frozen Protein Dessert
This might be my new favorite frozen protein dessert because you do not need any special equipment.
No Ninja Creami.
No ice cream maker.
No blender.
You just need a bowl, a spoon or spatula, a baking sheet, and a freezer.
That is it!
Of course, I will forever love my protein ice cream recipes. My Best Ninja Creami Protein Ice Cream is a staple in our house, and my Easy Coffee Ice Cream is a must for coffee lovers.
But sometimes you want a frozen dessert that does not require a machine. These frozen protein s’mores are perfect for that!
How Long Do Frozen S’mores Take to Freeze?
The answer depends on the texture you want.
After about an hour, the filling will be colder and firmer but still very gooey.
This is perfect if you want a soft frozen s’more.
For the slightly chewy, marshmallow-like texture, let the s’mores freeze completely (4+ hours or preferably overnight).
The center will become firmer and chewier but should not turn rock hard. My husband hates eating rock-hard frozen foods. He usually has to defrost my banana bites recipe (another super yummy no-bake treat!) on the counter for 5 minutes before eating them. But these frozen protein s’mores he can gladly eat straight from the freezer!
Your exact freezing time can vary slightly depending on your freezer and how thick you make the filling.Do Frozen S’mores Get Hard?
The chocolate gets hard, but the protein marshmallow filling does not get super hard.
That is one of the best things about this recipe!
The whipped topping keeps the filling light, while the protein powder gives it structure and chewiness.
Even after freezing completely, the middle stays soft enough to bite into.
If your freezer runs especially cold and you prefer a softer texture, let your frozen s’more sit at room temperature for a few minutes before eating.Can You Make Frozen S’mores Ahead of Time?
Absolutely! In fact, these are made for prepping ahead. That is exactly why this recipe makes a larger batch. Once frozen, store the s’mores in a freezer-safe container or freezer bag. Then you have an easy frozen dessert ready whenever you want one. They are especially great to make at the beginning of the week during the summer months. But honestly? We will be making these year-round.
How Do You Store Frozen Protein S’mores?
Store your frozen protein s’mores in an airtight freezer-safe container.
You can also place them in a freezer bag once they are completely frozen.
Keeping them tightly sealed helps prevent freezer burn and keeps the graham crackers and filling tasting fresh.Can I Make These Dairy-Free?
Yes!
Use a dairy-free or vegan whipped topping or coconut whipped cream, dairy-free protein powder, and dairy-free chocolate.
Always check the labels of your graham crackers too if you need the entire recipe to be dairy-free or vegan.
TruWhip has different varieties available, making this recipe easy to customize based on your needs.Can I Make Frozen S’mores Gluten-Free?
Yes!
Simply use your favorite gluten-free graham crackers.
The rest of the ingredients can easily be gluten-free, but always double-check the labels of your protein powder, chocolate, and whipped topping if you have a medical need to avoid gluten.What Protein Powder Is Best for Frozen Protein S’mores?
I recommend cookie dough, vanilla, or chocolate protein powder. I use Clean Simple Eats protein powder. You can use code CLAIRE!
Cookie dough gives the filling an extra dessert-like flavor that pairs so well with chocolate and graham crackers.
Vanilla gives you more of a classic sweet marshmallow flavor.
The most important thing is choosing a protein powder that you already know you enjoy. Since this is a no-bake recipe, you will taste the protein powder more than you would in a baked recipe.Can I Use a Different Type of Chocolate?
Yes!
I love dark chocolate because the rich flavor balances the sweet filling.
You can also use:
Milk chocolate
Semi-sweet chocolate
Dairy-free chocolate
Chocolate chips
A chopped chocolate bar
Use whichever chocolate you love!Do I Have to Add Peanut Butter?
No.
The peanut butter is completely optional. The classic version with just the protein marshmallow filling and chocolate is absolutely delicious. But if you love sweet and salty desserts, I highly recommend adding it. The peanut butter balances the sweetness and gives the frozen s’mores an almost Snickers-inspired flavor.
