Description

A delightful combination of the classic campfire s’mores and creamy cheesecake, perfect for holidays and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 5 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 45–50 large marshmallows
  • 3 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (for drizzling)
  • 5 tbsp heavy whipping cream (for drizzling)
  • Graham cracker crumbs (for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (163°C). Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and grease the sides.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, salt, and melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom and sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool.
  3. Wrap the outside of the pan with aluminum foil to prevent water from leaking in.
  4. Reduce the oven temperature to 300°F (148°C). In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and cocoa powder on low speed until smooth. Add the sour cream and vanilla, mixing well, then add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each one.
  5. Pour mini marshmallows into the cooled crust. In a small saucepan, heat chocolate chips and whipping cream over low heat, stirring until smooth. Pour this chocolate mixture over the marshmallows. Then, pour the cheesecake batter evenly over the chocolate and marshmallows.
  6. Place the springform pan in a larger pan and fill halfway up with warm water. Bake for 1 hour and 20-30 minutes. Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for another 30 minutes.
  7. Once cooled, remove the cheesecake from the pan and set it on a baking sheet. Place large marshmallows on top, making sure to leave space around the edges. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until the marshmallows are puffy, then broil for 2-3 minutes until golden.
  8. Heat the chocolate chips and whipping cream for drizzling, then pour over the marshmallows. Sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
  9. Serve warm for a gooey s’mores experience or chilled.

Notes

For best results, make sure cream cheese is at room temperature. Do not skip the water bath; it helps to prevent cracks in the cheesecake. You can also add layers of caramel or different types of chocolate for a twist.
