Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Chocolate bars for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the crust by mixing graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl until well combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even layer. Refrigerate while preparing the remaining components.
- Create the cookie dough layer by mixing brown sugar, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and vanilla extract in a large mixing bowl. Fold in mini chocolate chips and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until fully incorporated and free of lumps.
- Whip heavy cream in a clean bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light and airy cheesecake filling.
- Layer the cheesecake filling over the graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Crumble the prepared cookie dough over the cheesecake filling, creating a rustic, uneven layer.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows across the top of the cheesecake.
- Optional: Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows for a classic s'mores effect. Alternatively, place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Break chocolate bars into pieces and arrange on top of the cheesecake for additional decoration and flavor.
- Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow it to set completely.
- Before serving, release the springform pan and slice into 8 equal servings. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Tips
- Chill Your Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth and creamy filling. Additionally, chilling your mixing bowls and beaters can help achieve the best whipped cream texture.
- Customize Your Crust: While graham cracker crumbs are classic, feel free to experiment with other cookie bases like Oreos or digestive biscuits for a unique flavor twist.
- Don’t Skip the Refrigeration: Allowing the cheesecake to set in the fridge for at least 4 hours (or overnight) is crucial for the perfect texture. This step helps the layers meld together beautifully.
- Perfectly Toasted Marshmallows: For that authentic s'mores experience, use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows lightly. If you don’t have one, broil them in the oven for just 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Presentation is Key: When serving, consider garnishing with extra mini chocolate chips or drizzling some chocolate sauce on top for an extra touch of decadence.
- Serving Suggestions: This cheesecake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.Enjoy making your No Bake Cookie Dough S'mores Cheesecake, and watch it disappear in no time!
