How do I store frozen s'mores?

Freeze for up to 3 months: Store wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the freezer. The flavors actually develop even more over time. Individual wrapping works great: Wrap each square individually in parchment paper for grab-and-go treats that are perfect for lunch boxes or quick snacks. Always allow softening time: Remember to take them out 10-15 minutes before serving every time—this makes all the difference in texture and enjoyment. Cut while slightly frozen: For the cleanest cuts, slice them when they're still quite firm, then let the individual pieces soften before eating.

Why does my cottage cheese ice cream freeze so hard?

This is totally normal! Cottage cheese ice cream freezes harder than regular ice cream. Just let them sit out for 10-15 minutes and they'll be perfect—actually better than store-bought ice cream sandwiches.

Can I make protein frozen s'mores without protein powder?

Absolutely! They're still delicious without it. Just add an extra teaspoon of vanilla extract to make up for the flavor.

How do I know when frozen s'mores with graham crackers are ready to cut?

After 2-3 hours, they should feel completely solid when you press the top. If they're still soft, give them another 30 minutes.

What's the best way to cut frozen s'mores?

Use a sharp knife warmed under hot water and wipe it clean between cuts. Let them soften a bit more if the knife is dragging. You can also break them apart if your ice cream is soft enough.

Can I use store-bought ice cream instead of the cottage cheese ice cream in these frozen s'mores?

Yes! Use about 2 cups of any ice cream. Let it soften until spreadable, then follow the same steps. You'll just miss out on the protein boost.
