Make S'mores Cake

If you enjoy s'mores, you'll love this unique twist on the classic treat in the form of a cake. This article explains how to make and bake a scrumptious s'mores cake.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup (83 g) of butter or margarine
  • 18 graham cracker squares
  • 1/3 cup (83 g) of sugar
  • 1 12 oz. (340ml) jar of fudge ice cream topping
  • 2 cups of tiny marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 (375 ml) cups of cold milk
  • 1 6-serving-size package of instant chocolate pudding mix
  • 1 8 oz. (226g) container of frozen whipped dessert cream, thawed
  • 1/4 cup of miniature semisweet chocolate pieces (optional)

Steps

  1. Put butter in a microwave-safe container and microwave on high power for 30 seconds or until completely melted. Or, melt the butter in a pan.
  2. Put the Make Graham Crackers in a sealed plastic bag. Use a rolling pin to finely crush the crackers into crumbs (you should have about 1 1/2 cups).
  3. Pour the Make Smores With Graham Cracker Crumbs into the baking pan.
  4. Add the sugar and melted butter. Stir with a Select a Mixing Spoon until thoroughly mixed. Remove a third of the cracker mixture. Set aside for later.
  5. Gently spread the rest of the cracker mixture evenly in the baking pan. Put the Select Baking Pans in the freezer for ten minutes. Remove once the time is up.
  6. Remove the lid from the fudge topping jar. Place the jar in a microwave oven and cook on high for 40 seconds or until soupy and thin enough to pour. Pour over the chilled cracker crust (removed from freezer after 10 minutes).
    • You may also choose to heat the fudge topping in a pot over gentle heat until thoroughly melted.
  7. Add a layer of 2/3 of the marshmallows.
  8. Pour the milk into a large bowl and add the pudding mix. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes or until foamy. Use a rubber scraper or spatula to stir in half of the whipped cream topping.
    • Pour the beaten and stirred pudding mix on top of the marshmallows. Use the rubber scraper to spread the pudding mix evenly across the crumb layer set in the baking pan.
  9. Sprinkle the rest of the marshmallows, the saved cracker mixture, and the chocolate pieces on top of the pudding mix.
    • Cover with foil, and put it into the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving, or freeze until firm.
    • Decorate with more marshmallows and some chocolate curls.
