This is how we make s’mores in Texas, where it’s much too hot for campfires:
No, not really.
Really, I made these frozen s’mores pops for a friend’s Labor Day party, for all the kids in attendance. Someone else had brought a package of those red, white, and blue rocket pops (or bomb pops) often found on ice cream trucks. But guess which pops all the kids chose.
To be fair, one kid did choose a rocket pop over the s’mores. And one sneaky kid chose both! I wonder where his mother was… 😉
Inspired by Marshmallow Ice Cream recipe.
S’mores Popsicles
(gluten-free)
- 1 cup milk of choice (such as almond milk)
- 1/2 a container Ricemellow Crème (You could probably use 5 oz Smuckers marshmallow fluff, which—albeit high in artificial ingredients—is vegan.)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- tiny pinch salt
- optional: melted chocolate or Hot Chocolate Butter
- optional: crumbled graham crackers
Combine first four ingredients in a microwave-safe dish (or small saucepan if you prefer the stove), and microwave 1 minute. Stir so there are no lumps, then pour into paper cups or popsicle molds. If desired, dip in chocolate and sprinkle on graham cracker crumbs once pops are frozen. (If using the hot chocolate butter option, sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs quickly- the chocolate shell hardens fast!)
Did you ever buy anything from the ice cream truck?
When I was little, that annoying ice cream truck song was the best sound in the world! To my sister, it meant Good Humor strawberry shortcake popsicles. To my friends, it meant rocket pops, snow cones, and sherbet pops in the shape of Scooby Doo. To me, it meant one thing and one thing only: chocolate.
Be it a Chipwich, a chocolate éclair, or a neopolitan ice cream sandwich, you can be sure my order was always chocolate. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever tried a rocket pop in my life!

Katie, I really love your site! It is officially one of the best websites I have ever found. 🙂 I really like how all of your posts ask a question at the end and share another link – you’re so thoughtful.
As for me… the ice cream truck sometimes had popsicles that had pop-rocks on the outside. Those were my favorite!
Oh my gosh! I love this idea! So fun. I can’t wait to try! 🙂
Hey, Katie! I actually had a question for you, do you normally count calories daily? Or what is your opinion on calorie counting? I’ve been calorie counting lately, trying to take in more calories, but it is just so stressful.
Looks Delicious! (:
I remember buying from the ice cream truck when I lived in England. I’d use my European money to buy a treat. I didn’t get it very often, but I do remember looking forward to the ice cream truck. 😉
Does using low-fat milk work and how long is it before it’s frozen?

My ice cream truck favorite was the banana fudge bomb pop, or occasionally those obnoxious neon cartoon character pops (such as tweety bird) with the gumball eyes.
Thanks for the vegan-friendly marshmallow tips!
Hi Katie! This is another amazing recipe! Could I ask what molds you use? Thanks!
I found them at my parents’ house… I’m pretty sure they’re from Japan, about 20 years ago ;).
Haha okay thanks! I guess I’d have a pretty miserable time trying to track down an exact copy of those. Those “s’mores” are still destined to end up in my stomach though! 🙂
lol I love the rocket pops, in Ontario they are “Space Jets”. I also liked creamsicles, and the ghost pops (with the gumball nose, because all ghosts have noses)… My mom always got a Fudgsicle 🙂
