If you love the idea of chocolate and cheesecake as much as I do, then I know you’ll love these Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Bars!
No-bake cheesecake is one of the best desserts to whip up in a hurry. I love using things like little mason jars to make them individual for parties or easy portion control. The idea of adding in some marshmallows and chocolate to a regular plain cheesecake was brilliant! A little heat on top melts the marshmallows and makes this a fun S’Mores dessert that everyone will come back for over and over again.
How to Make No-Bake Cheesecake Amazing
The key to a perfect no-bake cheesecake is the light, fluffy filling. Creaming the sugar and cream cheese is the key to success. It is almost impossible to do this by hand and get the right fluffy texture. I recommend using a hand mixer or a stand mixer for this recipe for the best results.
If you are short on time, you can even pick up a ready-made graham cracker crust and make this into a traditional pie to cut into slices. Making a homemade graham cracker crust is always preferred, but either way, it will be delicious!
Tip: If you don’t want to pop these into the oven to melt the marshmallows, you can grab a kitchen blow torch for a fast “S’mores” texture.
Variations for the S’mores Cheesecakes
The classic S’Mores flavor is graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate. While I love that combination, there are tons of other great ways to make this dessert fun and delicious.
