Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love this recipe because it combines all the best parts of s’mores in a simple, layered dessert that doesn’t require a campfire. It’s incredibly easy to make and perfect for gatherings or when I want something sweet and comforting without spending too much time in the kitchen. The layers of chocolate and marshmallow keep every bite deliciously gooey, while the graham crackers add a nice crunch.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
- Graham crackers (crushed)
- Milk chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
- Marshmallows or marshmallow fluff
- Cream cheese (optional, for a creamy layer)
- Whipped cream (optional, for lightness)
- Butter (to help bind the graham cracker layer)
Directions
- Prepare the graham cracker crust by mixing crushed graham crackers with melted butter. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of a baking dish or pan.
- Melt the chocolate chips gently, either in a microwave or over a double boiler, until smooth. Spread a layer of melted chocolate over the graham cracker crust.
- Add a layer of marshmallows or marshmallow fluff over the chocolate. If using marshmallows, you can briefly toast them under a broiler or with a kitchen torch to get that classic golden look and flavor.
- Repeat layering as desired—graham cracker, chocolate, marshmallow—until the dish is filled or ingredients are used up.
- Optionally, add a creamy layer made from softened cream cheese mixed with whipped cream for extra richness.
- Chill the assembled lasagna in the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and flavors to meld before serving.
Servings and Timing
This recipe typically serves 6 to 8 people. Prep time is about 15 minutes, and chilling time is at least 1 hour before serving. It’s a great make-ahead dessert for parties or family gatherings.
Variations
I often experiment with adding peanut butter or Nutella between the layers for a richer, nuttier flavor. You can also try white chocolate instead of milk chocolate for a different twist. For a healthier take, using dark chocolate and reducing the marshmallow amount works well, too.
Storage/Reheating
Store the s’mores lasagna covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Since it’s best served chilled, I don’t recommend reheating, but if you want warm gooey layers, a quick microwave zap in individual portions works fine.
FAQs
Can I use different types of chocolate for this recipe?
Absolutely! I like to switch it up with dark, milk, or even white chocolate depending on my mood. Each brings a unique flavor to the lasagna.
Is this dessert gluten-free?
Traditional graham crackers contain gluten, but you can find gluten-free graham crackers to make this recipe safe for gluten-sensitive folks.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, this dessert actually tastes better when made a few hours ahead or the day before, allowing the layers to set perfectly.
What can I substitute for marshmallows?
If I don’t have marshmallows, I sometimes use marshmallow fluff or a marshmallow spread. Both work well to keep the gooey texture.
Can I add nuts or other toppings?
Definitely. Chopped nuts, caramel drizzle, or even fresh berries on top add texture and a flavor boost.
Conclusion
S’mores Lasagna is one of those desserts I turn to when I want something nostalgic, easy, and crowd-pleasing. It’s a perfect blend of crunchy, gooey, and sweet that reminds me of cozy campfire nights but without the hassle of building a fire. Whether for a party or a simple treat, this recipe never disappoints.
