How to Make S’mores Cheesecake
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until well combined and press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove and let cool.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.
- Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and crack the door open, allowing the cheesecake to cool in the oven for about 1 hour.
- Remove from the oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth batter.
- Don’t skip the cooling step in the oven; this helps prevent cracks.
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips.
- If desired, toast mini marshmallows with a kitchen torch just before serving for a gourmet touch.
Easy Variations
- Substitute half of the cream cheese with mascarpone for a creamier texture.
- Add a layer of chocolate ganache between the crust and cheesecake for extra richness.
- Use flavored cream cheese, like chocolate or vanilla bean, for a twist on the classic flavor.
What to Serve With It
- Fresh berries for a fruity contrast.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream to complement the richness.
- Whipped cream for extra decadence.
- Coffee or milk to balance the sweetness.
