Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 200g)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (1 stick, 115g)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chopped chocolate (170g)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (60ml)
  • 16 oz cream cheese, room temperature (450g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (120g)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups marshmallow fluff or creme (200g)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold (240ml)
  • 12 cups mini marshmallows (for topping)
  • Extra chocolate chips or shavings (optional, for garnish)
  • Graham cracker crumbs or pieces (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix until it resembles wet sand.
  2. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the freezer while preparing the next steps.
  3. Heat 1/4 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan until just simmering. Pour over 1 cup chocolate chips and let sit for a minute, then stir until smooth.
  4. Pour the chocolate ganache over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Return pan to freezer for 10 minutes.
  5. In a clean, cold bowl, beat 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks. Set aside in the fridge.
  6. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
  7. Fold in marshmallow fluff until the mixture is light and glossy.
  8. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
  9. Spread the cheesecake filling over the chocolate layer and smooth the top.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  11. Just before serving, scatter mini marshmallows over the top. Toast with a kitchen torch or under the broiler until golden.
  12. Garnish with extra chocolate chips and graham cracker crumbs if desired.
  13. Run a warm knife around the edge before releasing the springform pan. Slice with a clean, sharp knife, wiping between cuts.

Notes

For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and chill the cheesecake overnight for clean slices. If you don’t have a kitchen torch, toast marshmallows under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely. Gluten-free and dairy-free adaptations are possible with ingredient swaps. Line the pan with parchment for easy removal. For a less sweet filling, reduce powdered sugar by 1/4 cup.
