These creamy no-bake s’mores cheesecake bars combine a crunchy graham cracker crust, smooth cheesecake filling, and toasted marshmallow topping for a cozy, indulgent dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
  • 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream, cold
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand. Press firmly and evenly into the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan. Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to set.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy (2-3 minutes). In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream to soft peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until combined and fluffy.
  3. Assemble the bars: Spread cheesecake filling evenly over chilled crust. Smooth the top. Scatter mini marshmallows evenly over the cheesecake layer, then sprinkle semi-sweet chocolate chips on top.
  4. Toast the marshmallows: Preheat oven broiler. Place pan on top rack 4-6 inches from heat. Broil 1-2 minutes until marshmallows puff and turn golden brown. Remove immediately to avoid burning. Alternatively, use a kitchen torch to toast marshmallows evenly.
  5. Chill and set: Refrigerate bars for at least 2 hours or overnight to firm up.
  6. Serve: Cut into squares using a sharp knife dipped in hot water and dried between slices for clean cuts.

Notes

Whip cream to soft peaks to avoid grainy texture. Press crust firmly to prevent crumbling. Watch marshmallows closely when broiling to avoid burning. Chill bars thoroughly for best texture. Use a sharp knife warmed in hot water for clean slicing.
