    For the Chocolate Cheesecake Layer:

    • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
    • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
    • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted

    For the Chocolate Ganache Glaze:

    • 1/2 cup heavy cream

    For the Marshmallow Fluff Frosting:

    • 1 cup marshmallow fluff
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 cups powdered sugar
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1–2 tablespoons milk (as needed for consistency)

    To Decorate (optional):

    1. Mini marshmallows
    2. Graham cracker pieces
    3. Chocolate squares

Instructions

Make the Graham Cracker Crust:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  • Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then let it cool.

2. Prepare the Chocolate Cheesecake Layer:

  • In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the sugar and cocoa powder, mixing until well combined.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and melted chocolate. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled crust and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set but slightly jiggly. Cool completely, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.

3. Make the Chocolate Ganache Glaze:

  • Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
  • Pour the ganache over the chilled cheesecake, spreading it evenly to the edges. Chill for 30 minutes to set.

4. Prepare the Marshmallow Fluff Frosting:

  • In a bowl, beat the marshmallow fluff and butter together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until fluffy.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.

5. Assemble the S’mores Cheesecake:

  • Spread or pipe the Marshmallow Fluff Frosting on top of the ganache layer.
  • Use a kitchen torch to toast the frosting lightly for a true s’mores effect.
  • Garnish with mini marshmallows, graham cracker pieces, and chocolate squares, if desired.

Notes

  • For a more intense chocolate flavor, you can increase the amount of cocoa powder in the cheesecake layer.
  • If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can place the cheesecake under the broiler for a few seconds to toast the frosting, but be careful not to burn it.
  • You can store this cheesecake in the fridge for up to 5 days. If you plan on making it ahead, allow it to set overnight for the best flavor and texture.
