How to Make Cozy Campfire S’mores Cheesecake

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form a crust.
  3. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and sour cream, mixing until combined.
  4. Add Eggs and Cocoa: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated. Sift in the cocoa powder and melted chocolate chips, mixing until smooth.
  5. Bake the Cheesecake: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the cheesecake inside for an additional hour to cool gradually.
  6. Chill the Cheesecake: Remove the cheesecake from the oven and let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully chilled.
  7. Add the Topping: Once the cheesecake is chilled, spread the marshmallow fluff evenly over the top. Use a kitchen torch to gently toast the marshmallow fluff until golden brown. If you don’t have a torch, you can broil it in the oven for a few seconds, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips over the toasted marshmallow fluff and drizzle with chocolate sauce. Garnish with mini graham crackers if desired. Slice and enjoy your Cozy Campfire S’mores Cheesecake!

Tips

  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
  • Don’t Overbake: To prevent cracks, avoid overbaking the cheesecake; it should still have a slight jiggle in the center.

Substitutions and Variations

  • Different Flavors: You can add peanut butter or caramel sauce to the cheesecake filling for a delicious twist.
  • Add Nuts: Chopped nuts can be added to the crust for extra crunch.

Make a Healthier Version

  • Use reduced-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter option.
  • Substitute some of the sugar with a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup.
