Smores Cheesecake

Save For Later

My Smores cheesecake features a chocolate marshmallow graham cracker crust filled with ultra rich cheesecake. If you love S'mores but hate the campfire you need to try this recipe.

I love Smores treats in the summer like my no bake Smores pie and my Smores dip. This Smores cheesecake takes it to a whole other level! It has a crunchy crust, creamy cheesecake, and perfectly gooey topping. It's perfect for summer picnics and birthdays.

Why This Recipe Works: A Sprinkle of Food Science

• Crust with marshmallows and chocolate baked right in: This creates pockets of melted chocolate from the bottom up.
• Super Rich and Creamy Filling: Sour cream adds tang and heavy cream adds fat for an ultra rich filling.
• Water Bath: The water bath helps it bake evenly and slowly so it has a rich custard like texture that is never rubbery.

Ingredient Notes and Shopping Tips

• Graham Cracker Crumbs: Around 10-12 crackers should give you the required amount of crumbs.
• Cream Cheese: Use full fat softened cream cheese. I like to cube mine and leave it at room temperature for 20-30 minutes. If you're short on time you can also dunk the foil package in warm water or 5-10 minutes.
• Sour Cream: Use full fat for the best results.
• Eggs: Bring to room temperature. You can also place them in a cup of warm water for 5-10 minutes.

Krystle's Tips: Steal My Culinary School Secrets

1. Don’t overmix: This can incorporate too much air which can cause cracks or a rubbery texture. Mix until everything is just combined.
2. Use 2 layers of foil: Wrap your springform pan well to prevent leaks.
3. Don't Overbake: Cheesecake is done with the edges are set. It's okay if the center is still a little jiggly. It will firm up as it cools.
4. Cool Gradually: I like to cool in the oven with the door open for 10 minutes. Then I'll leave on the counter for around an hour before refrigerating.
5. Broil Carefully: Marshmallows can go from toasty to burnt in a minute or two. You can also use a kitchen torch if desired.
