No Bake S’mores Cheesecakes.
I seriously don’t even know what to say.
You know how sometimes I make a dessert and freak the heck out over it and deem it the best thing I’ve ever made?
Yeah. This is one of those.
I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m a spaz over all things s’mores. I have no idea why I love s’mores so obnoxiously much but I just DO. I LOVE THEM. Maybe it’s because they were such a special treat when I was a kid and they invoke all sorts of fun memories including bonfires and lightening bugs.
Oh, and what do you say? Fireflies? Lightening bugs? I’m certain I ask you this question every summer, but you know… I’m clueless. I don’t remember what the majority voted upon. I say lightening bugs. I’ve said lightening bugs my entire life. BUT. I want to say fireflies. Fireflies just sounds so… pretty. And romantic. And summery. And, like, enchanting warm evenings. I want to be cool and say fireflies but if I say fireflies to anyone within about thirty miles of me, they’ll be all WHAT?
These are my firefly dessert.
You know I love me some no-bake cheesecake, especially in little cups or jars. Mainly because I’m lazy. Also because it’s so easy. I don’t have to worry about my cheesecake cracking or some garbage like that. Cheesecakes can be so high maintenance, and I can totally say that because they are my all-time favorite dessert. Sure, things have been a little decadent around these parts lately but I’m just like… ah. I finished a book full of 150 pretty healthy recipes and I just neeeeeed to get this delicious stuff out.
So this is what’s going on.
We have a graham cracker crust. Obviously.
Some crazy rich milk chocolate ganache. It’s dreamy.
This darn marshmallow cheesecake, which makes me want to die. It’s… stupendous.
More crazy rich milk chocolate ganache. Swoon.
Extra graham crumbs. CRUNH CRUNCH.
Fluffy marshmallow cream on top. From a jar. Judge not.
And a toasty little marshmallow on top. Like a freaking cloud.
Is this real? It so is.
No Bake S'mores Cheesecakes
Ingredients
crust & topping
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2/3 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff or cream
- 4 marshmallows, toasted and cut in half
chocolate ganache
- 4 ounces milk chocolate, chopped
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
marshmallow cheesecake
- 1/2 cup whipped cream cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff or cream
- 1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together butter and graham crumbs until moistened. Press crumbs into the container of your choice (jar, ramekin, etc) with the back of a spoon. Place the chocolate in a bowl. Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until warm, just until bubbles appear on the edges. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 30 seconds, then stir constantly until the chocolate is all melted and a smooth ganache comes together. Add about a teaspoon of the ganache on top of each graham crust.
- In the bowl of your electric mixer, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until creamy. Add in the marshmallow fluff and beat until combined, then with the mixer on low speed, pour in the milk and vanilla extract. Beat on high speed until a smooth batter forms. Pour the batter on top of the chocolate ganache, leaving space on top for more chocolate and marshmallow.
- Add another teaspoon of ganache on top of the cheesecake and a sprinkle of graham crumbs if you wish, then refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. When ready to serve, add a tablespoon or so of marshmallow fluff on top of the ganache, then top with a toasted marshmallow. Sprinkle extra graham crumbs on top and serve!

You don’t know what to say? I don’t know what to say! I am speechless! I love your Fridays! These little smore cheesecakes look dynamite! I have been on a smore kick and just when I thought it was over you posted this! LOVE it! Have a great weekend!
I was actually planning on making a different s’mores parfait for an upcoming party and this is definitely going to replace that! That marshmallow cheesecake… omg.
Cute little treat. Cheesecake is my downfall… I’d eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
How delicious does this look?! I am only a new lover of smores as they are not popular down under. This is almost too pretty to eat and so innovative with the marshmallow cheese cake
Ahhh this looks ridiculously good! I loved s’mores as a kid, particularly the graham cracker bit! We used to use Caramilk squares rather than chocolate so it was always a mash-up of marshmallow, graham cracker, chocolate and melty caramel – freaking awesome. Oh, and I called them lightening bugs too!
How adorable are these? Adorable and so delicious! I can’t wait to try these!
Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!!! Marshmallow cheesecake?!? Marshmallow CHEESECAKE?!? And that roasted marshmallow on top? *faints*
Who doesn’t spaz out over s’mores? We can’t be friends if they aren’t nuts about s’mores. Simple as that.
I only had smores for the first time 2 years ago… OMG I was soo missing out
whaaaaaaat.
I say lightening bugs and wish I could change it to fireflies too!! Also, this looks amazing. I’m way too lazy to layer it up in tiny glasses though, I’d just pour it all out and layer in a pie dish and hope for the best.
I am thinking for the ganache you meant milk CHOCOLATE, chopped? But, I really kinda like “milk chopped, chopped”.
yes, chocolate! fixed it. :)
Oh my!! These are so freaking fun!!
Marshmallow cheesecake? I’m totally down with that. Well, I’m pretty much totally down with anything involving toasted marshmallows.
Looks so, so good, like something to be ordered in a restaurant! Yummy!
Marshmallow cheesecake!?! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!! And I do not even like cheesecake!! But I mean marshmallow? That has got to be awesome and paired with chocolate ganache and graham crackers!?! Oh my gosh, oh my gosh! The layers are so pretty too!
This looks so amazing and easy to make!!
Umm, these are the cutest ever with that gigantic mallow sitting on top. Fab idea!
I dare NOT try these right now but you’d better believe I’m bookmarking this! LOL
For the record…I’m a firefly girl. And for the record, I need this in my belly!
These look divinely delicious!!! I could probably down like 10 of them!
This is why i love your blog so much. These look delicious, and gorgeous, and they look like everything that I love so much about summer. Thank you for making my Friday.
chocolate ganache
4 ounces milk chopped, chopped
3 tablespoons heavy cream
I’m guessing this is supposed to be chocolate chopped? Haha. Anyway… Holy crap do I need this in my life.
Also, fireflies. I grew up in New England – I had never even heard of people saying lightning bugs until a couple of years ago.
I’m pretty sure I need to make this, now.
yes, chocolate!!
These look great. I always call them “June Bugs” – my grandpa always called them that because thats when they show up in the summer :) happy memories catching june bugs with him!!
ah! i totally thought june bugs were something else. we say that too!
Cheesecake + s’mores = their own food group! Perfect recipe for a Friday! Love it!
We are biffs for life. I mean, marshmallow cheesecake!? I die.
You crossed a line today Jessica. A fantastic, amazing line. I am going to cross it with you this weekend.
For an even sweeter taste, I think Mascarpone cheese would work wonderfully for the filling – it was especially let that marshmallow flavor sing! Love this :)
love no bake cheesecakes. and I go crazy for all things s’mores too! Luuuurve these!
SHUT. UP. I can’t even take this.
I say lightning bugs too, always have (again, I would rather say fireflies too because it sounds cooler). But alas, old habits die hard.
These are so CUTE! Are they shot-glass size, or am I totally misinterpreting the scale? I can’t wait for your book!!!!
yes, these ones are in the shot glass but it makes enough to fit in little jars!
Lightning bugs. (No ‘e’ in the word lightning, by the way…lightening is like losing weight, which this delicious post will certainly not help us do.) Fireflies sounds way more romantic and beautiful and worthy of such lovely little creatures. But I grew up in the middle of PA – it’s lightning bugs all the way.
ahh i had no idea there was a missing “e!”
You’re my hero. I want to make all of these and eat them by myself..so no one can judge me for moaning after each bite.
I’m so ridiculously excited for your cookbook! I want to make everything, I just know it! :)
I just bought these little shooter glasses the other day. I now have a purpose to use them for! In love with all that is s’more, you always seem to deliver on that! Marshmallow cheese cake… i might dream about that….
These are too pretty to eat! Only I would probably eat them all. Ha! Perfect for a summer dinner party!
Nobake and adorable! And marshmallow cheesecake = HEAVEN! I love your toasty ‘mallows. They’re perfect and I want!
I can’t stop looking at it!
So glad this is real! These look scrumptious and I can’t wait to make these happen in my kitchen!
OMG stop it! If I had your job I wouldn’t be able to fit through my front door. ;) Thankfully I like to workout just as much as I like to eat. It’s a pretty good balance.
LOVE this. And it just isn’t summer unless smores are involved.
I’m so flipping out over this redonk mind meld we got going on today. No Bake Cheesecake 4 Evahhh!! Also – I haven’t had a s’more all summer. My life is a lie at this point. I need to make a s’more something. And that 5 pound tub of cream cheese I have in my fridge automatically puts these at top of the list. MOAR Cheesecake!!
You’ve really done it this time! I love that the marshmallow fluff is in the filling. Yum!
I think I just fell off my chair. I am OBSESSED with s’mores. I’ve made every concoction there is on the planet! I am pinning this one on my board dedicated to s’mores…another one to cross off the list of made and eaten….three, or four, or five times.
.:Marta:.
And here comes my sweet tooth! These look AMAZING!
….
no words.
We’re all “lightning bugs” in the midwest. ;)
Oh my gosh. These look incredible!
I’m just speechless. And drooling!!!
Holy shit- excuse my language but this looks too good to be true. We are having people over tomorrow night and I’m making this… don’t worry, I will give you credit!
