Smores Pieces Cheesecake Recipes

S'MORES CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• In a medium size bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter and sugar together until well combined. Press into the bottom of a 9"springform pan.
• Start by chopping the Hershey chocolate bars into coarse pieces, as well as 4 graham crackers. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, blend the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until well blended and smooth.
• Then, add the eggs, continue to mix for 2-3 minutes until well blended. Stir in half of the chopped Hershey bars and then pour into the prepared crust.
• Next, sprinkle with remaining Hershey bars, mini marshmallows and coarsely chopped graham crackers over the top of the filling.
• Bake at 350° F for about 60 minutes, or until center is completely set. You can use a toothpick to check, some of the cheesecake filling may stick to it a little bit, but you will be able to tell if it is runny or set.
• Keep an eye on the cheesecake for the last 10-15 minutes of baking - if the marshmallows start to brown too much before the center is set, you can loosely cover the cheesecake with foil for the last part of baking. I like the marshmallows pretty toasty, so I do not usually find that necessary, but if you don't want them quite so brown, the foil will help.
• Let cool for about 30-40 minutes on the counter and then refrigerate at least 3 hours (preferably overnight) before slicing and serving.

NO-BAKE S'MORES CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Combine the sugar and 6 ounces (12 sheets) graham crackers to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Drizzle in the butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated and moistened. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
• Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a small microwave-safe bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Microwave the gelatin in 15-second intervals, stirring or whisking vigorously in between each, until the mixture is very hot and the gelatin has completely dissolved, about 45 seconds total. Allow to cool completely to room temperature.
• Combine the cream cheese, marshmallow creme and a pinch of salt to a large bowl, then use an electric mixer to blend until completely smooth. Add the cooled gelatin mixture and blend until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set, at least 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Remove the plastic wrap and place the cheesecake on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Run a small offset spatula or paring knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan, then open the pan's clasp and remove the outer ring. Use the off-set spatula or the back of the paring knife to smooth out the sides of the cheesecake.
• Break 2 chocolate bars into small pieces and add to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted, about 1 minute total. Drizzle the chocolate back and forth over the top of the cheesecake with a spoon, then place back in the refrigerator until the chocolate has hardened, about 20 minutes.
• Pile the marshmallows on top of the cheesecake. Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows, then break up the remaining graham crackers and chocolate bar into large pieces and stand the pieces up in the marshmallows.
• Allow the cheesecake to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes (so the marshmallows aren't super gooey when you cut into it), then slice and serve immediately.
