A quick and easy no-bake s’mores cheesecake with a creamy filling, crunchy graham cracker crust, and a toasted marshmallow topping that evokes cozy campfire memories.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs (honey-flavored preferred)
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for crust)
  • 16 oz (450g) cream cheese, softened (full-fat)
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (50g) mini marshmallows (folded into filling)
  • ½ cup (90g) bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped or chips
  • 1 ½ cups (75g) mini marshmallows (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust: Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar in a medium bowl. Stir until crumbs are evenly coated and look like wet sand. Press mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes on medium speed. Add vanilla extract and mix briefly.
  3. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Avoid overwhipping.
  4. Fold the Whipped Cream: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Fold in mini marshmallows gently to keep mixture airy.
  5. Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour filling over chilled crust and smooth the top. Sprinkle chopped bittersweet chocolate evenly over the surface.
  6. Add the Marshmallow Topping: Scatter mini marshmallows over the chocolate layer, covering completely.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to set properly.
  8. Toast the Marshmallow Topping: Just before serving, use a kitchen torch to toast marshmallows until golden brown and slightly charred. Alternatively, place under broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
  9. Serve: Remove sides of springform pan carefully and slice with a hot, clean knife. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Softening cream cheese is essential for a smooth filling. Whip cream until stiff peaks form but do not overwhip. Fold whipped cream gently to keep the mixture airy. Compact the crust well to prevent crumbling. Toast marshmallows just before serving for best flavor. Warm knife under hot water and dry between cuts for clean slices.
