Hi Everyone! This past Sunday was my sister and her boyfriend’s going away party. They are moving across the country so of course I asked them what I could make them. They requested that I make them a S’mores cheesecake. I thought immediately when I got this request that the Burnt Basque Cheesecake would be the perfect thing for this. The crunchy and toasty exterior would be perfect to simulate a toasted marshmallow in this cheesecake.
Toasted S’mores Cheesecake: The Process
So like I said, essentially this is just a burnt basque cheesecake with a one to one ratio of marshmallow fluff to cream cheese. Then it’s topped with chocolate ganache, more marshmallow fluff and graham crackers (crushed and broken into quarters).
When you put the fluff on top, you can put it in a piping bag with a large tip so you can pipe it on or do dollops on top like I did. You can do any decoration with the graham crackers that you like. I just chose to sprinkle some and leave some whole for more of the graham cracker flavoring.
This is the perfect dessert for any summer party. Especially for this time of year, The end of summer is perfect for s’mores. It went over so well at the party. Everyone loved it, Most importantly, my sister and her boyfriend. I hope you try this out and if you do let me know how it goes. As always I am always here to answer questions. Enjoy!

For Cheesecake
1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a 10 inch springform pan by buttering it and pressing a piece of parchment paper in the pan and up the sides, making folds in the sides.
2. Place the cream cheese in the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Paddle until smooth on medium speed . Scrape down the bottom and the sides of the bowl until smooth to make sure every bit is getting incorporated. Scrape down once more until smooth.
3. Add the fluff. Mix until incorporated with the cheese.
4. Add the sugar and beat together until the sugar is dissolved. Dip your finger into the batter, run the batter between you fingers and if you don't feel any granules of sugar than you know its ready and the sugar is dissolved.
5. Add the eggs one at a time until incorporated. Scrape down the bottom and the sides of the bowl to make sure everything is incorporated.
6. Add in the salt and the vanilla and mix until incorporated.
7. Sift in the flour and mix until incorporated. Scrape down the sides and the bottom of the bowl to fully incorporate.
8. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 60-65 minutes or until golden on top but still quite a bit of jiggle.
9. Once out of the oven, let cool and place ginache ontop of the cake and the fluff ontop of the ganache. Then spinkle crush graham crackers on top as well as placing whole pieces of graham cracker into the cake.
