This Smores Cheesecake is a crowd-pleaser that brings the taste of roasted marshmallows, rich chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers all in one bite. Let’s get started on making this irresistible dessert!
Ingredients:
- For the crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- For the cheesecake filling:
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- For the topping:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- ½ cup chocolate ganache (or melted chocolate)
- Graham cracker crumbs for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until creamy.
- Mix in the eggs one at a time, ensuring not to overmix. Stir in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, folding them gently into the batter.
- Pour the cheesecake filling onto the cooled crust and spread evenly. Bake for 50-60 minutes until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking.
- Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, top with mini marshmallows, drizzle with chocolate ganache, and sprinkle with more graham cracker crumbs.
