S’mores Cheesecake

This particular cheesecake instantly became a family favorite. I’ve only made twice now, but both times it immediately disappeared—which is a sure sign of success in my book.

Sure, it takes just a little bit longer to make than your traditional S’mores but let me tell you, your time will totally be well spent.

Ingredients

Crust

• 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
• 3 ounces butter, melted
• ¼ light brown sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cheesecake Batter

• 4−8 ounce packages cream cheese
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• ¼ cup orange blossom honey
• ½ cup marshmallow cream topping
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon marshmallow vodka
• 4 large eggs
• ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Topping

• 6 ounces dark chocolate chips
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ½ cup reserved crust crumbs
• 2 cups mini marshmallows

Instructions

Crust

1. Line a 9″ springform pan with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl mix together all ingredients for the crust. Reserve ½ cup of crumbs for topping.

Batter

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Have an oven-safe dish or pan big enough to contain the springform pan ready for a water bath.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy 3-5 minutes on medium speed.
3. Add sugar and honey to batter and mix on medium speed until well incorporated. Add marshmallow cream, vanilla and marshmallow vodka, continue mixing on medium speed until combined.
4. Add eggs one at a time and mix on low speed just until combined.
5. Sprinkle chocolate chips over prepared crust and pour cheesecake batter over chocolate chips.
6. Place the springform pan inside the larger pan and transfer to the oven. With a measuring cup fill the larger pan half-way up with warm water.
7. Bake cheesecake for 1 hour 10-15 minutes or until center is set. Remove cheesecake from water bath, turn oven off and return cheesecake to oven, let it sit there for about 1 hour with oven door cracked open.

Topping

1. Melt chocolate chips in microwave for 30 seconds on high (100%).
2. Heat heavy cream just before it comes to a boil. Remove from stove and pour over melted chocolate. Stir to incorporate. Ganache should be completely smooth and free of chocolate bits.

Assembly

1. With an off-set spatula spread chocolate ganache over top of cheesecake.
2. Sprinkle crust crumbs over the ganache.
3. Top cheesecake with mini-marshmallows and torch with a kitchen blow torch until they puff up and are slightly toasted.
4. Place cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, preferably overnight.
