Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cups cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the graham cracker crust by combining graham cracker crumbs with melted butter in a medium mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are completely coated and resemble wet sand-like texture.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish, creating an even layer. Use the back of a spoon or measuring cup to compact the crust smoothly.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese, continuing to mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, creating a smooth and airy cheesecake filling.
- Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows and chocolate chips across the top of the cheesecake, creating a decorative and delicious topping.
- Refrigerate the pie for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the filling to set completely and develop a rich, creamy texture.
- Before serving, optionally toast the marshmallows using a kitchen torch for a classic s'more appearance, or place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes watching carefully to prevent burning.
- Slice and serve chilled, enjoying the creamy cheesecake with the classic s'more flavors of graham, chocolate, and marshmallow.
Tips
- Room Temperature Matters: Ensure your cream cheese is completely softened at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free filling.
- Crust Compression: When pressing the graham cracker crust, use the bottom of a measuring cup or glass to create a firm, even layer that will hold together perfectly.
- Whipping Technique: Fold the whipped topping gently into the cream cheese mixture to maintain its light, airy texture.
- Marshmallow Magic: For an extra touch of wow, use a kitchen torch to lightly brown the marshmallows, creating that classic toasted s'more look.
- Chilling is Key: Be patient and let the cheesecake set for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight, to develop the best texture and flavor.
- Make Ahead Friendly: This pie can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for entertaining.
- Serving Tip: Run your knife under hot water before slicing to get clean, beautiful pieces every time.
