Preparation
Can you make s’mores ice box cake ahead of time?
Yes, you’ll need to prepare this at least 4 – 5 hours in advance so it has time to freeze. You can put it in the freezer up to a week in ahead.
Why do you dip the graham crackers in milk?
This softens the crackers, helps them incorporate into the other ingredients, and gives them a moist ice cream-like flavor in the cake!
What kind of chocolate sauce for s’mores icebox cake?
We like to use a bottle of Hershey’s chocolate syrup, but you could also do a batch of homemade chocolate ganache!
Storage and leftovers
How long does ice box cake last?
Stash the leftovers in your freezer for up to a week. It will still be safe to eat after that, but it may deteriorate in texture or flavor.
