Perfect for any occasion where you want to wow your guests (or treat yourself!), this dessert is easy to make and impossible to resist. Ready to bring a little campfire magic into your kitchen? Let’s get baking!


Ingredients

For the Crust:

•    2 cups graham cracker crumbs
•    1/4 cup granulated sugar
•    1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

•    3 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese, softened
•    1 cup granulated sugar
•    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
•    3 large eggs
•    1/2 cup sour cream
•    1/4 cup heavy cream

For the Topping:

•    2 cups mini marshmallows
•    1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
•    1 tablespoon heavy cream


Instructions

1.    Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool.
2.    Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix! Fold in the sour cream and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
3.    Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is just set and a little jiggly. Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly open for 1 hour. This helps prevent cracking!
4.    Prepare the Topping: After the cheesecake has cooled, sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly over the top. Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows until golden brown and gooey (you can also use the oven broiler, but keep a close eye on them!).
5.    Finish with Chocolate: Melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the toasted marshmallows.
6.    Chill and Serve: Let the cheesecake chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving. Slice, serve, and watch it disappear!

Notes

•    Make Ahead: This cheesecake can be made 1-2 days in advance. Just keep it covered in the refrigerator, and toast the marshmallows right before serving.

•    Substitutions: Swap out the graham cracker crust for an Oreo crust for a different twist! You can also use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet if you prefer a sweeter flavor.

•    Storing Leftovers: Store any leftover cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
