Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
10 sheets graham crackers (150 g)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (165 g)
1–2 teaspoons coconut oil
1 container light cool whip (8 oz)
1 scoop vanilla protein powder
1/4 cup PBFit powder (32 g), optional
Pinch of flaky sea salt, optional
Directions
Line a quarter sheet pan or small baking tray with parchment paper. Make sure the tray fits comfortably in your freezer.
Arrange 5 graham cracker sheets side-by-side on the prepared tray so they touch and form the base layer.
Add the chocolate chips and coconut oil to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This usually takes about 60 seconds total.
Pour the melted chocolate over the graham crackers and spread evenly into a smooth layer using a spatula.
If desired, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt over the melted chocolate for extra flavor.
Place the tray in the freezer for about 10 minutes while preparing the filling.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the light cool whip, vanilla protein powder, and PBFit powder. Stir until smooth, fluffy, and fully combined.
Remove the tray from the freezer and spread the protein filling evenly over the hardened chocolate layer.
Place the remaining 5 graham cracker sheets on top, leaving a tiny gap between each cracker to make slicing easier later.
Freeze for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to cut cleanly.
Slice into bars or squares and enjoy straight from the freezer.

Storage/Reheating
Store the frozen protein s’mores in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. If stacking multiple layers, place parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.
Before serving, let the bars sit at room temperature for 2–3 minutes to soften slightly for the best texture.
These bars do not require reheating since they are meant to be enjoyed frozen.
FAQs
Can I use regular whipped topping instead of light cool whip?
Yes, regular whipped topping works perfectly if you prefer a richer dessert.
What type of protein powder works best?
Vanilla vegan protein powder works especially well because it creates a thicker and fluffier filling texture.
Can I make these without protein powder?
Yes, but the filling will be softer and less thick. You may need to freeze longer for clean slices.
Do I need a sheet pan?
No, any freezer-safe tray or baking dish of similar size will work.
Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
Absolutely. Milk chocolate creates a sweeter dessert while dark chocolate gives a richer flavor.
How do I cut clean bars?
Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts for neat slices.
Can I add marshmallows?
Yes, mini marshmallows can be mixed into the filling or sprinkled on top before freezing.
Are these good for meal prep?
Yes, they store very well in the freezer, making them perfect for preparing ahead of time.
Can I make this dessert dairy free?
Yes, use dairy-free whipped topping and dairy-free chocolate chips.
How long do they need to freeze?
At least 1 hour is recommended, but 2 hours gives the firmest texture.
