Ingredients

2 boxes (14.4 ounces) graham crackers
3 cups heavy whipping cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1½ cups miniature marshmallows
Chocolate curls chocolate shavings, mini chocolate chips or chocolate nonpareils

Instructions

Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on medium speed, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until medium-to-stiff peaks form.
Cover the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish with graham crackers, breaking crackers if needed to cover the bottom. Using an offset spatula, spread ¼ of the whipped cream over the top of the graham crackers.
Add another layer of graham crackers, followed by whipped cream. Repeat two more times, ending with a layer of whipped cream.
Refrigerate for 4 hours up to overnight before serving. Top with crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and chocolate curls.
