Key Ingredients You’ll Need
Graham Crackers: You will need these crushed to be able to mix with the butter and sugar to make the crust.
Sugar: You will need granulated sugar for the cheesecake as well as powdered sugar to add sweetness and give it a thicker consistency.
Cool Whip: This mixed with the cream cheese will give the cheesecake layer and creamy consistency.
Cocoa Powder: This will give the cheesecake batter its chocolatey flavor. You will also use Nutella and Semi-sweet chocolate chips for additional flavor.
Marshmallow: This will be added to a portion of the cheesecake batter to make a marshmallow layer.
How To Make S’mores Cheesecake
Step 1. Add the graham cracker crumbs into a medium bowl along with 1/4 cup of sugar and melted butter and combine until coated. Add the mixture to the base of a 9-inch springform pan lined with parchment paper. Press down gently to form the pan before placing it in the fridge.
Step 2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla into a large bowl along with the cream cheese and use a mixer to combine until smooth. Add in the cool whip and beat again to combine until smooth and creamy. Portion the batter into 2 separate bowls. Add the cocoa powder into one bowl with the rest of the 1/4 cup of sugar and combine until smooth. Add the marshmallow fluff into the other bowl and combine. Take the pan out of the fridge and pour the chocolate filling into the pan and spread evenly using a spatula.
Step 3. Add the Nutella into a piping bag or use a spoon to swirl it on top of the chocolate layer before placing it in the fridge to chill and set for 10 minutes. Take the pan out of the fridge and pour the marshmallow layer on top of the Nutella-swirled chocolate layer. Use a spatula to spread evenly before placing it into the fridge for 1 hour to chill.
Step 4. In a heat-safe bowl, add the heavy cream and melt in 1-minute intervals until heated but not boiling. Pour over chocolate chips in a small bowl and mix to combine until melted and smooth. You want it liquidy, but thick enough to make a layer of chocolate on top. Add more or less cream to reach the desired consistency. Take the cheesecake out of the pan and transfer it to a wire rack over a baking pan. Add the chocolate ganache on top to coat and allow it to coat the sides as well. Set in the fridge to chill for a couple of minutes to firm the chocolate.
Step 5. Add the marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate bars on top before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
