No Bake Smores Cheesecake

Well… July is coming to an end. Here in Cincinnati, school starts in just two weeks. This summer has really flown by for our family. We have had a couple family vacations and had the time to BBQ quite a bit during the summer months. One part of me is sad to see summer gone so quickly. The other part of me is thinking ahead to all the cooler weather and fall foods like apples and pumpkin.

This No Bake S’mores Cheesecake makes for a perfect dessert that you can enjoy winter, spring, summer, or fall. It’s great for making when it is too hot to turn on the oven and heat the house. This past week was pretty warm so I figured it was time to make a no bake cheesecake. At the beginning of summer, I shared my No Bake Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake with you on the blog. We ended up making that cheesecake at least a half dozen times since. No bake cheesecakes are so easy and the flavor combinations are almost endless.

This cheesecake was really one that I made to impress my kiddos. They love no bake cheesecakes and they LOVE S”MORES! I knew it would be a perfect indoor S’more idea. As soon as i finished it with the prep, I had to show it off to them. They were all anxious for it to firm up so they could enjoy.

As I suspected…. this cheesecake was gone before I could even get a second piece. No leftovers of this dessert. The flavor combinations were perfect. I had the graham cracker crust, a chocolate cheesecake layer, a marshmallow cheesecake layer, and then a chocolate ganache to top it off. I did add on some Cool-Whip, a mini toasted marshmallow, and a mini Hershey to make the cheesecake a bit more impressive. Those additional toppings are not needed but you can add if you like. I considered just dusting with additional graham crackers so that is also an idea you could consider if you are wanting your cheesecake a bit more show stopping.

You could make this cheesecake for a summer or fall potluck. I think it will be great for a birthday dessert too. Since my kiddos loved it so much, I will most likely make it for our next birthday. You can have an impressive dessert ready to chill in no time at all. Just a few simple steps and a few dishes to clean up. PERFECT!

When you do your shopping list for this cheesecake, you will need graham crackers, cream cheese, marshmallow cream, heavy whipping cream, frosting, some chocolate, and a few other ingredients that you probably have on hand. I listed chocolate chips, you could also melt some Hershey bars, it would work for the chocolate layer too. I used the heated frosting trick that I used in my Boston Cream Poke Cake because I had it on hand. It was perfect. You could just use a basic chocolate ganache if you think you would prefer it over the frosting ganache.
