Ingredients
Base Layer
- 28 Graham Crackers
Chocolate Layer
- 1 Cup Chocolate Chips
- 1 Teaspoon Coconut Oil
Protein Filling
- 1 Container Coco Whip (thawed)
- 1-2 Scoops Protein Powder (vanilla or chocolate recommended)
- 1/3 Cup Natural Peanut Butter
Finishing
- 1 Pinch Flaky Sea Salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removing the s’mores easier.
- Layer Graham Crackers: Place a single layer of graham crackers evenly on the bottom of the dish, covering as much of the base as possible.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 2-3 increments of 30 seconds, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler on the stove.
- Spread First Chocolate Layer: Pour half of the melted chocolate over the graham crackers and spread it evenly across the surface.
- Freeze to Set Chocolate: Place the baking dish in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up.
- Prepare Protein Filling: In a large bowl, mix the thawed coco whip and protein powder together until smooth, creamy, and free of lumps.
- Add Protein Layer: Remove the dish from the freezer and spread the coco whip mixture evenly over the set chocolate layer.
- Add Peanut Butter Layer: Evenly spread the natural peanut butter on top of the protein filling layer.
- Spread Remaining Chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, spreading it out evenly. Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top.
- Top with Graham Crackers: Arrange the remaining graham crackers on top of the chocolate layer and gently press down to sandwich all the layers together.
- Freeze to Set: Return the s’mores to the freezer for at least one hour until the layers have fully set.
- Serve: Remove from freezer, slice into squares, and enjoy your frozen protein-packed s’mores!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of protein powder according to your desired protein content and flavor intensity.
- Use either vanilla or chocolate protein powder to complement the chocolate layer.
- For a smoother peanut butter layer, warm the peanut butter slightly before spreading.
- The flaky sea salt is optional but enhances the flavor contrast against the sweet chocolate and peanut butter.
- Use parchment paper to easily lift the entire block from the dish for effortless slicing.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to one week.
