This is an overview of the recipe. The full instructions are below in the recipe card.
Graham Cracker Crust
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and line the cupcake/muffin pan with the cupcake liners, set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the graham cracker, sugar, and melted butter until a wet sand-like mixture forms.
- Scoop 1 1⁄2 tablespoon of graham cracker crust into the cupcake liners and press into an even bottom using a flat bottom glass or measuring cup.
- Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove and allow to cool completely.
Smore's Cheesecake
- Using a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until combined and smooth.
- Beat in the sour cream and vanilla until combined and smooth.
- Add one egg at a time, and beat until combined.
- Fold in 1 1⁄2 cup of the chocolate and marshmallow mix.
- Fill the cupcake liners about 3⁄4 almost full and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the cupcakes are set. It’s okay if there is a slight jiggle in the center!
- Remove and allow to cool on the counter until room temp before moving to the fridge overnight.
Chocolate Ganache

Expert Tips
Expert Tip: Make sure that your ingredients are at room temperature before beginning this recipe. Room temperature ingredients mix together much easier and produce a smoother cheesecake.
Frequently Asked Questions
The best way to tell if your cheesecake is done is to insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, or with just a few moist crumbs, it's done!
There are a few things you can do to prevent your cheesecakes from sinking. Make sure to beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help create a stable base for your cheesecake. Another tip is to not overmix the batter once the eggs have been added. Mix just until combined.
Most often, cheesecakes crack because they are overcooked. Cheesecakes are done when the center is just set and there is a slight jiggle to the cake. It's better to err on the side of undercooked rather than overcooked.
Variations
There are so many ways that you can change up this recipe to make it your own!
- Add a layer of fruit preserves in the middle of the cheesecake for a pop of color and flavor.
- Top with marshmallow fluff instead of chocolate ganache.
- Use Oreo cookie crumbs in place of the graham crackers.
- For a fun summer twist, top with fresh fruit instead of chocolate sauce.
