Brief Introduction

S’mores are more than just a treat — they’re a memory. They remind us of campfires, summer nights, sticky marshmallow fingers, and melted chocolate smiles. But let’s be real: not everyone has a fire pit handy, and traditional s’mores can be high in sugar and low in nutrients.

That’s where these single-serve S’mores Fluff Cups come in. They pack the flavor and fun into a lighter, more balanced dessert you can whip up in minutes — no campfire required.

Step-by-Step Cooking Guide (Narrative Expansion)

  • The Base: Graham crackers or crushed cereal mimic that nostalgic s’mores crunch.
  • The Cream Layer: Using Greek yogurt + pudding mix gives cheesecake-like creaminess with protein and fewer calories.
  • The Chocolate Factor: A rich chocolate pudding layer ensures you still get that indulgent s’mores core.
  • The Fluff: Whipped cream and optional marshmallow fluff bring in the gooey element.
  • The Garnish: Mini chocolate chips + graham crumbs = texture and presentation.

Ingredient Details & Substitutions

  • Graham Crackers: Use Golden Grahams cereal for a fun twist, or keto graham crackers for low-carb.
  • Greek Yogurt: Swap for Skyr, cottage cheese whip, or light cream cheese blend.
  • Chocolate Layer: Melted chocolate, Nutella, or protein pudding all work.
  • Whipped Cream: Use coconut whipped cream for dairy-free.

Growing up, s’mores were the highlight of camping trips. But as an adult, I wanted the same gooey, chocolatey flavor without waiting for a fire pit.
