How to make a No Bake Cheesecake Graham Cracker Crust
One of the best things about a no bake cheesecake is that the crust isn’t baked either.
For a graham cracker crust, combine graham cracker crumbs, a little brown sugar and melted butter in a bowl.
Mix to combine and then transfer the mixture to a spring form pan.
Press the mixture down firmly into the bottom of the pan.
Refrigerate until the mixture is ready.
For the no bake cheesecake filling combine cream cheese and marshmallow creme until smooth with a hand held mixer.
Add powdered sugar and mix to combine. Lastly, add the whipped topping and fold it into the mixture.
Be careful to slowly incorporate the topping into the cheesecake so that it doesn’t deflate.
Pour the cheesecake mixture over the graham cracker crust and smooth out into an even layer.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
Just before the cheesecake is ready to assemble, arrange mini marshmallows onto a silicone mat lined baking sheet.
Broil for about 2 minutes or until the marshmallows are nice and toasted.
How to Assemble a No Bake S’mores Cheesecake
Once the cheesecake has set up well, remove the outside ring of the spring form pan.
Begin with the milk chocolate ganache.
Combine milk chocolate chips and heavy cream in a liquid measuring cup. Microwave for 20-30 seconds and whisk.
Continue in 10 second increments until you have a velvety smooth ganache.
Pour it over the top of the cheesecake and use an off set spatula {or spoon} to spread it out to the edges.
Honestly, this baby would be perfect at this stage but you know I couldn’t stop there.
To finish the no bake cheesecake, take additional whipped topping and make a border around the edge of the chocolate {I used a piping bag with a large star tip}.
Then arrange the roasted marshmallows around the border of the cheesecake. Allowing the whipped topping to act as glue.
The final touch is a sprinkling of additional graham cracker crumbs.
It is almost too gorgeous to eat…ALMOST!!
The only thing left is to serve a slice {or two} up and dig in.
Each bite is like biting into the very best S’more you have ever had. One taste and you will be hooked.
Tips for making this Easy No Bake S’more Cheesecake even Easier
- You can purchase graham cracker crumbs in a box next to the pudding in your grocery store. It will save you having to drag out the food processor.
- Adding Marshmallow Creme to the cheesecake batter gives you an extra special flavor to the filling without having to melt any actual marshmallows.
- Using whipped topping that you purchase in the freezer section of your grocery store is a great time saver and works great both in the filling and as the topping.
- Making ganache in the microwave takes less than a minute but it is every bit as delicious.
