How to make Frozen S’mores
Ingredients:
- 1 9 to 10 ounce tub thawed whipped topping
- 1 scoop (25 to 30g) vanilla protein powder
- 18 square graham crackers
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
- Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing for easy removal later.
- Arrange graham crackers in a single layer upside down in the pan, creating a sturdy base.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or over the stovetop until smooth and glossy. Pour this luscious chocolate over the graham crackers, spreading evenly to cover each cracker with a delicious layer of chocolate goodness.
- In a medium bowl, mix the thawed whipped topping and protein powder, stirring until the mixture is beautifully smooth and creamy.
- Spread the whipped topping mixture over the chocolate layer, making sure it’s evenly distributed for that perfect bite.
- Place the remaining graham crackers over the filling and press down lightly for a good seal.
- Freeze for at least 2 hours until the delicious goodness is firm and ready to be sliced.
- Once set, lift the entire creation out of the baking dish using the parchment paper, and slice it into squares that are perfect for sharing.
