How to make S’mores Cheesecake (Overview)

The process is as simple as pie — or should we say cheesecake? Start by mixing your crust ingredients and pressing them into your springform pan. While that bakes to golden perfection, whip up a creamy filling that makes you swoon.

Once baked and cooled, pour melted chocolate over the cheesecake and scatter those adorable mini marshmallows. A quick broil gives them that gorgeous toasted look. Pro tip: Don’t skip cooling time! Let it chill to set, otherwise, you’ll have a gooey mess instead of a slice of heaven.

How to serve S’mores Cheesecake

For serving, imagine this: a fluffy slice of cheesecake topped with glossy chocolate and perfectly toasted marshmallows. It’s a feast for the eyes! Pair it with fresh berries for a pop of color and a bit of tartness to cut the sweetness. Or, simply enjoy it as is—who needs extra when it looks this good? 🍫

How to store S’mores Cheesecake

If you have leftovers (doubtful, but let’s be hopeful), store them in the fridge for up to 5 days. Need a longer life? You can freeze it for up to 3 months. Just remember to wrap it tightly and let it thaw in the fridge before indulging in that creamy goodness again. Make-ahead heaven right there!

Tips to make S’mores Cheesecake

• Softer cheesecake? Let your cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing. It makes a world of difference in texture!
• Swap it up: Try using dark chocolate instead of milk for a richer flavor.
• Skip the oven? No bake option exists out there! Check out your favorite no-bake cheesecake recipes if you want to skip the heat.
