Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 ¾ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

16 oz (2 packages) cream cheese, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 large eggs

½ cup sour cream

½ cup mini marshmallows

½ cup chocolate chips

For the Topping:

1 cup mini marshmallows

½ cup chocolate ganache (made from ½ cup heavy cream and 1 cup chocolate chips)

1 cup crushed graham crackers for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust:

    - Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

      - In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until well combined.

        - Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then allow it to cool.

          Make the Cheesecake Filling:

            - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth.

              - Add the sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.

                - Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing on low speed until just combined.

                  - Stir in the sour cream, mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips gently using a spatula.

                    Assemble and Bake:

                      - Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled crust, spreading it evenly.

                        - Bake in the preheated oven for about 50-60 minutes, until the edges are set and the center appears slightly jiggly.

                          - Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the cheesecake cool in the oven for another hour to prevent cracking.

                            Prepare the Topping:

                              - While the cheesecake is cooling, make the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream until just boiling, then pouring it over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.

                                - Once cheesecake is completely cooled, spread the mini marshmallows evenly over the top.

                                  - Use a kitchen torch to toast the marshmallows if desired.

                                    Finish It Off:

                                      - Drizzle the chocolate ganache over the toasted marshmallows and sprinkle crushed graham crackers for garnish.

                                        - Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) before slicing.

                                          Serve:

                                            - Slice into pieces and enjoy your S'mores Cheesecake Delight chilled!
