  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 10-12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
  • Additional graham cracker crumbs, for topping
  • Optional: Flaked sea salt for garnish

Instructions

  1. Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined, then press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes, then cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well. Incorporate vanilla extract and sour cream until smooth.
  3. Gently fold in chocolate chips and mini marshmallows into the batter.
  4. Pour filling over cooled crust and smooth the top. Bake at 325°F (160°C) for 55-60 minutes, until edges are set but center slightly jiggles.
  5. Turn off oven, leave door ajar, and let cheesecake cool gradually to prevent cracks.
  6. Spread additional mini marshmallows on top. Broil for 1-2 minutes until toasted. Garnish with graham cracker crumbs and sea salt.

Notes

  • Use a water bath during baking to reduce cracking.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute graham crackers with gluten-free crackers.
  • Use a kitchen torch or broiler to achieve perfectly toasted marshmallows.
