Graham Cracker Logs 🪵🍫

A no-bake, retro dessert with layers of graham crackers, creamy filling, and chocolate—like a cross between icebox cake and s’mores! Perfect for holidays or easy entertaining.

🍽️ Ingredients (Makes 2 logs)

For the Filling:

• 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup (1 stick / 113g) unsalted butter, softened

👩🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Filling:

   • Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth.

   • Mix in powdered sugar and vanilla. Fold in marshmallows.

2. Assemble the Logs:

   • Spread 1 heaping tbsp filling onto each graham cracker.

   • Stack 7 crackers vertically, pressing gently to form a log. Repeat for the second log.

   • Frost the outside with remaining filling.

3. Chill & Coat:

   • Freeze logs 1 hour (or fridge for 2 hours) until firm.
