S’mores Cheesecake

This S’mores Cheesecake is full of gooey marshmallows, melty chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers all in a creamy cheesecake filling! This easy cheesecake recipe is a decadent favorite.

Let’s talk about things that make us happy. More specifically: let’s talk about what happens when you make a s’mores cheesecake.

First off, s’mores is just inherently comfort food. It reminds us of campfires, some off-tune singing of campfire songs, summertime, and spending time with family and friends. Something about melty chocolate, crunchy graham crackers, and that perfectly toasted marshmallow just works. Whoever thought of s’mores is a genius.

Combined with the luscious richness of cheesecake, it takes on a whole new delicious level. This cheesecake is rich, lemme tell you, and a little slice goes a long way. But ohmygoodness, it’s so good. It is laced with s’mores flavor through and through, and before you make it, you will need to come to terms that you’ll likely eat far more than your fair share. You won’t be able to help it.

No wrong can come from a buttery graham cracker crust, toasty marshmallows, chocolate-chip studded cheesecake, and a drizzle of hot fudge.

This is a dessert that you should make a day ahead of time, so be instinctive about tomorrow’s cravings. It’s a lesson in planning ahead. Enjoy it!
