Smores Cheesecake is the Perfect Combo of Two Classic Desserts!
This past weekend was my birthday, and of course what kind of cake I want is always a source of heavy reflection and internal debate. My husband is usually pretty good about making a cake for me. I mean, there have been those years where he said, “I thought you were dieting”…which have ended in me murdering him with my mind.

Also, can we just let all men know that our diets are NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS. I do not ever want my husband reminding me of my diet. Ever. EVER. ANYHOW!…National S’more Day happens to fall on my birthday, August 10th…ahem. Which basically is the most perfect coincidence in all the land. Right? So I decided to take the universe’s cue and make a S’mores Cheesecake. Because, well…S’mores and also cheesecake. Indeed.
If you have been reading my site for any length of time, you know that cheesecake is my lover. I am obsessed. I’ve created all sorts of cheesecake recipes here on my site, most recently CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE! And this Smores Cheesecake recipe is the ULTIMATE combo of my favorite summertime treat AND my favorite ALL TIME dessert!
How To Make Smores Cheesecake
Start with an easy graham cracker crust recipe and press that into a springform pan. Sprinkle two cups of mini marshmallows all over that…
Then heat up some hot fudge sauce and pour that all over the marshmallows…
It’s getting there…
Next go ahead and make your filling. This recipe doesn’t use sugar, but instead uses sweetened condensed milk. Not gonna argue with that!
After the cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, eggs and vanilla are mixed, add in some more mini marshmallows and also some mini chocolate chips!
Pour that over your crust…
And bake it until it’s almost done. At that point sprinkle some more marshmallows on top until they get puffed and slightly golden…
Then here’s the hard part. You have to let it cool. I recommend a full overnight. Before you put it in the fridge, loosen the edges of the crust with a knife. When it’s completely chilled, pull it out of the fridge, and garnish it with graham cracker crumbs, milk chocolate bars and more hot fudge sauce…
Isn’t it beautiful? Then fully accept that you are going to eat 3 slices.
