When all said and done, the dish takes about 7 minutes to prepare and is loaded with 25 marshmallows, a graham cracker crust, homemade ganache, and smooth cheesy filling.

No Bake S'mores Cheesecake

INGREDIENTS:
For the crust:
  • 1 cup graham cracker 
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted
For cheesecake filling:
  • 25 regular marshmallows
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature 
  • 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 ounce container frozen whipped topping (Cool Whip or TruWhip) thawed
For ganache:
  • 3 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
  • 3 ounces heavy cream
For topping:
  • 6 large marshmallows
DIRECTIONS:
  • In a medium bowl, stir together the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Evenly divide the crumbs between 6 individual serving dishes and press into the bottoms of the dishes to form a crust layer. Place serving dishes in the refrigerator while you prepare the cheesecake.
  • Place about 25 regular marshmallows in a large, deep microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 45-60 seconds. Marshmallows will puff up and begin to melt. Use a buttered spatula to stir the marshmallows until smooth. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl with an electric mixer, whip the cream cheese for about 2 minutes. Add in confectioners' sugar and vanilla and beat for another minute. Use a buttered spatula to scoop the melted marshmallows into the cream cheese mixture and beat for an additional minute. Use a rubber spatula to fold in whipped topping. 
  • Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling directly onto the graham cracker crusts and place them back into the refrigerator while you prepare the ganache. 
  • Add chocolate to a heat-safe bowl. Bring cream just to a boil over medium-high heat. Pour heated cream over chocolate and let stand for 5 minutes and then whisk to combine. Spoon chocolate ganache onto the cheesecake layer and place back into the refrigerator until you are ready to serve. 
  • Just before serving, top each cheesecake with a few large toasted marshmallows. Enjoy!
