Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 4 tbsp butter, melted
  • 4 oz marshmallow fluff (creme)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, slightly softened
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 cup milk chocolate, chopped or milk chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 6 large marshmallows

Equipment

  • Whisk
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Chef's Knife
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter. Stir until the crumbs are well-coated and begin to clump together. This mixture will be the crunchy base of your trifle.
  2. Next, take six half-pint mason jars or small dessert glasses and divide the graham cracker crust mixture evenly among them. Gently press it down to form a stable layer at the bottom, ensuring it's nice and compact.
  3. Now, it’s time to make the chocolate ganache. Heat 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream in the microwave for about 30 to 60 seconds until it's just about simmering. Pour this hot cream over the chopped milk chocolate in a bowl. Let it sit for a few minutes to melt.
  4. Once the chocolate has softened, whisk the mixture until smooth and glossy. This rich ganache will add a wonderful layer of flavor to your trifles.
  5. In a separate bowl, use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with the whisk attachment to whip the remaining heavy whipping cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. This whipped cream should be fluffy and light, perfect for layering.
  6. In another bowl, combine the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff. Mix until smooth, then gently fold in half of the whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  7. Take the remaining whipped cream and fold in 2 tablespoons of the chocolate ganache to create a light chocolate whipped cream layer.
  8. Start layering your trifles by adding a spoonful of the chocolate ganache to the sides of the jars, ensuring it’s visible. This will make for a beautiful presentation.
  9. Next, spoon in the marshmallow cream filling evenly into each glass over the ganache. Be generous here, as this layer is where the s’mores flavor really shines.
  10. Top each trifle with a final layer of the chocolate whipped cream, smoothing it out with a spatula for an elegant finish.
  11. Cover the trifles and refrigerate them until you’re ready to serve. If you'd like, you can also toast the large marshmallows under the broiler until golden brown for an extra touch. Simply broil them for about 3 to 4 minutes, watching closely!
  12. Once they’re toasted and slightly cooled, carefully place a marshmallow on top of each trifle for that classic touch before serving. Your No Bake S'mores Trifles are now ready to delight!

Notes

These No Bake S'mores Trifles are extremely versatile! Here are some fun ways to put your own spin on them:
  • Storage: Keep any leftover trifles covered in the fridge for up to 3 days for the best texture.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the graham cracker base and ganache separately, but avoid freezing the assembled trifles.
  • Flavor Variations: Try adding a layer of peanut butter or Nutella for a delicious twist on the classic s'mores flavor.
  • Serving Size: If you're hosting a larger crowd, increase the ingredient quantities and serve in larger glasses.
  • Presentation: Use clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers of the trifle!
