Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • 2 cups (150g) mini marshmallows
  • 4 oz (115g) semisweet chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Graham Crust (10 minutes): In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
  2. Press the Crust: Transfer crumb mixture into an 8-inch springform pan. Press firmly and evenly along the bottom and slightly up the sides. Chill in fridge for about 10 minutes.
  3. Make the Cheesecake Filling (15 minutes): Beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer.
  5. Fold Cream into Cream Cheese: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula.
  6. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour filling over chilled crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
  7. Prepare the S’mores Topping (5 minutes): Sprinkle mini marshmallows evenly over cheesecake. Melt semisweet chocolate until smooth.
  8. Toast the Marshmallows: Use a kitchen torch to brown marshmallows evenly until golden and puffed, or broil for 1-2 minutes watching carefully.
  9. Drizzle the Chocolate: Drizzle melted chocolate over toasted marshmallows.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Slice with a warm knife dipped in hot water and dried. Store leftovers covered in fridge.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps. Chill mixing bowl before whipping cream for best results. Press crust firmly to maintain texture. If no kitchen torch, use broiler carefully to toast marshmallows. Use warm knife dipped in hot water for clean slicing.
