Step by step instructions with text overlay to make s'mores cheesecake

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

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the heavy whipping cream to a simmer. Pour over the 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips and let sit for 1 minute before whisking until smooth.
  • Spoon 1 Tablespoon of ganache onto the top of each cheesecake.

Storage

Leftover cheesecakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

If you want to make it ahead and freeze, wrap each cheesecake individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

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

How do you know when the cheesecakes are done?

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!

How do you keep mini cheesecakes from sinking?

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.

Why did my cheesecake crack?

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.

  • 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.

Serving Suggestions

  • This Crockpot Beef Stroganoff is the perfect comfort food to serve with these cheesecakes for a delicious and easy weeknight meal!
  • These Cheesy Green Beans are the perfect side dish to balance out the sweetness of the cheesecake.
