Gooey. Toasted. Chocolatey. No campfire needed! My No-bake S’mores Cheesecake is an icebox cake that has layers of graham crackers, maple-sweetened cheesecake, rich chocolate, and toasted mini marshmallows. Let the cheesecake set in the fridge and you get a delicious, easily transportable treat that tastes just like a beach bonfire!

Cheesecake Layer

  • 8 oz Cream Cheese Softened
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup

Assembly

  • 2-3 sleeves Graham Crackers
  • 1/2 bag Mini Marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup Chopped Chocolate (milk and/or dark chocolate) optional

Instructions
 

  • Set aside an 8"x8" glass baking tray, a large rectangular plastic container, or whatever shape container you have on hand (and that is convenient for transporting).

  • Add a third of your chocolate ganache to the top of your graham cracker layer.
  • Sprinkle chopped chocolate on top, if desired.
  • Add half of your cheesecake mixture.
  • Add toasted marshmallows (either torched before adding or torched in your baking/serving tray.

Notes

Sofia’s Tips:
  • This is an easy make ahead dessert!
  • Chilling this dessert overnight allows the graham crackers to absorb the cream and develop deliciously soft and flavourful icebox cake! 
  • This dessert will be soft and easily eaten with a spoon, like a pudding!
  • If you're short on time, this dessert can be chilled for 6 hours.
  • If not using a 8"x8" baking dish, remember that the smaller the container you use, the taller the resulting Icebox cake!
  • In the refrigerator, this No-Bake S'mores Cheesecake lasts for up to 7 days.
  • Enjoy!
