Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Graham Cracker Base

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Creamy Vanilla Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Decorations

  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for buttons)
  • Edible eyes or chocolate chips (for snowman faces)
  • 1/4 cup orange candy pieces or carrot shavings (for noses)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chocolate graham cracker mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
  2. Incorporate butter and vanilla: Add the softened unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until the ingredients form a thick, cohesive dough suitable for shaping.
  3. Make the creamy vanilla filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually pour in the heavy cream while continuing to beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, creating a smooth and airy filling.
  5. Shape the snowman bodies: Take small portions of the chocolate graham cracker dough and form round balls of varying sizes to serve as the snowman’s body segments.
  6. Assemble the snowmen bases: Arrange the largest balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet as the base layer for the snowmen.
  7. Stack to form snowmen: Place smaller balls on top of the larger ones to create the snowman figure, repeating until all are shaped and stacked.
  8. Chill to firm up: Refrigerate the assembled snowmen for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
  9. Prepare the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  10. Dip snowmen in chocolate: Remove the chilled snowmen from the refrigerator and carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Lift gently with a fork to let excess chocolate drip off.
  11. Decorate while coating sets: Place the chocolate-covered snowmen back onto the parchment-lined sheet and quickly decorate with mini marshmallows (buttons), edible eyes, and orange candy pieces or carrot shavings for noses before the chocolate hardens.
  12. Final chilling: Refrigerate the decorated snowmen for an additional 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to fully firm up.
  13. Serve and enjoy: Serve the snowmen chilled or at room temperature for a delightful festive treat.

Notes

  • This dessert is best stored refrigerated to maintain shape and freshness.
  • Use softened butter and cream cheese for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and whipped topping with non-dairy alternatives.
  • Adjust the size of the snowmen balls for different portion sizes or decorative purposes.
  • Decorations can be customized with alternative candies or edible decorations as desired.
  • Handle dipped snowmen carefully to prevent breaking the chocolate coating.
