S'mores Cheesecake

Make the Cheesecake Crust

1. Gather your ingredients for the cheesecake crust.

   

2. Blend together the graham crackers, brown sugar, and vanilla extract in a food processor. Drizzle in the butter after it has been processed to fine crumbs. Pulse a few more times until the butter in completely incorporated.

   

3. Press the graham cracker crumbs into the bottom of a 9 inch spring-form cheesecake pan. Cover the bottom evenly. The crust should be about a quarter of an inch thick. Use a flat glass to distribute the crust evenly. Bake the cheesecake crust at 350 F for five minutes.

   

4. After the crust has cooled, cover the bottom of the crust with miniature marshmallows and chocolate chips.

   

Make the Filling

1. Gather the cheesecake filling ingredients. Make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature.

   

2. Preheat the oven to 500F.

3. Beat the cream cheese with the sugar until fluffy.

   

4. Beat in the heavy cream, sour cream, vanilla extract, salt, and corn starch.

   

5. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Be careful not to over beat.

   

6. Microwave the marshmallows for about thirty seconds. Beat the marshmallows into the batter quickly until incorporated.

   

7. Pour the cheesecake into the prepared crust. Spread the top so it is even and smooth.

   

8. Place the cheesecake in the preheated oven. After 5 minutes reduce the heat to 200 F. Bake the cheesecake for 1 1/2 hours or until the cheesecake has reached an internal temperature of 150 F. It will still be a little jiggly, which is fine!

   

9. Allow the cheesecake to cool on the counter for 20 minutes. Then cover in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

   

Add the Topping

1. Gather the ingredients.

   

2. Heat the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave safe bowl in thirty second increments, stirring in between until smooth.

   

3. Pour the chocolate over the top of the chilled cheesecake. Then top it with the rest of the marshmallows.

   

4. Place the cheesecake on a sheet pan and place it under the broiler until the marshmallows are just toasted.

   

5. Chill the cheesecake for another hour and then slice and serve!
