Sweet Baked Life

S’mores and summer — they go together perfectly. And with today being National Chocolate Pudding Day, get ready to dig into these sinful no-bake S’mores Parfaits made with chocolate pudding and marshmallow whipped cream! Need I say more? Nope. They’ll be a hit for sure at any summer party!

I love s’mores. What can I say? I’m always looking for new ways to incorporate the unique flavor combination of sweet chocolate, gooey marshmallows and crisp graham crackers. Each of these ingredients are favorites of mine, so making s’mores is a no-brainer!

You start by making cool instant chocolate pudding, then to give your marshmallow fluff a bit more of a creamy texture, add some whipped cream to it — this really does make it taste so incredible, then you crush some graham crackers and you’re ready to layer these delicious tastes into one tasty treat!

Super easy, and super delish. These S’mores Parfaits are perfect in many ways. One, you don’t need to turn on your oven. Two, everyone loves s’mores. Three, they are great to eat on a hot summer day. Speaking of, there are many of these in our near future!

S’mores Parfaits 

1 (3.9 oz) package instant Chocolate Pudding
2 cups cold milk
1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow fluff
1/2 cup heaving whipping cream
1 package graham crackers, crushed
Mini marshmallows
Mini chocolate chips

In a large bowl add the chocolate pudding and cold milk. Whisk for about 2 minutes until pudding begins to thicken. Put in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until set.

Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl add the marshmallow fluff and 1 tablespoon of the heavy whipping cream. With a hand-held mixer, beat until creamy. In a small bowl add the remainder of the heavy whipping cream and using a hand-held mixer, beat until stiff peaks form, about 1-2 minutes. Add the whipped cream to the marshmallow mixture, and gently fold until combined.

To assemble, layer parfait glasses with pudding, marshmallow whipped cream, mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and top with graham cracker crumbs. Repeat ending with the graham cracker crumbs. Makes about 4-8 parfaits depending on how large your glasses are. Serve and enjoy.

Now, is that easy or what? Yep, these S’mores Parfaits are the best any time of year, especially the summertime!

Happy National Chocolate Pudding Day!
