- 2 (3.9-ounces) boxes instant chocolate pudding
- 2 (8-ounces) blocks cream cheese
- 2 (7.5-ounces) jars marshmallow crème
- 1 (16-ounces) container Cool Whip
Chocolate and Marshmallow Components:
- 4 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups dark chocolate chips
- 2 Hershey’s bars
- 1/4 cup dark or Dutch process cocoa
- 1/4 cup hot fudge sauce
Preparation and Garnish Ingredients:
- 3 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1/2 cup lightly crushed graham crackers
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the base by lightly coating a 9″x13″ baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Create the chocolate pudding mixture by whisking pudding mix, milk, and cocoa until smooth and fully integrated.
- Blend marshmallow crème with cream cheese in a separate bowl, mixing until the texture becomes uniform and creamy.
- Construct the first layer by arranging graham crackers across the entire bottom of the dish as a solid foundation.
- Spread half of the marshmallow cream mixture evenly over the graham cracker base, ensuring complete coverage.
- Generously sprinkle mini marshmallows across the marshmallow cream layer for added texture and sweetness.
- Pour half of the chocolate pudding mixture over the marshmallow layer, creating a rich, decadent tier.
- Repeat the layering process with remaining graham crackers, marshmallow mixture, marshmallows, and chocolate pudding.
- Scatter dark chocolate chips across the top layer for extra indulgence.
- Refrigerate the dessert for a minimum of 2 hours to allow layers to set and flavors to meld.
- Before serving, top the chilled lasagna with Cool Whip for a light, airy finish.
- Warm hot fudge sauce in the microwave until it reaches a pourable consistency.
- Drizzle hot fudge sauce generously over the dessert for a glossy, rich appearance.
- Garnish with crushed graham crackers, Hershey’s pieces, and remaining marshmallows for a final decorative touch.
- Slice and serve chilled for a delightful s’mores-inspired dessert experience.
Notes
- Soften ingredients like cream cheese and marshmallow crème at room temperature for smoother mixing and easier spreading.
- Use a clean, wet knife to cut through the layers cleanly without dragging ingredients, ensuring neat and beautiful slices.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free graham-style crackers or crushed gluten-free cookies to maintain the classic texture.
- Chill the dessert longer than 2 hours for firmer layers and more pronounced flavor development, allowing ingredients to meld together perfectly.
