🍫🔥 No Bake S’more Cheesecake — The Campfire Glow‑Up You Didn’t Know You Needed

 

Graham cracker crust, marshmallow fluff, and melty chocolate all dressed up as cheesecake — this No Bake S’more Cheesecake is basically summer camp with a glow‑up and zero mosquito bites.

 

 

Let’s be honest: s’mores are messy. They drip, they stick, they leave you with chocolate fingerprints that mysteriously end up on your jeans. But they’re also iconic. And cheesecake? Well, cheesecake is the Beyoncé of desserts — smooth, indulgent, and always stealing the spotlight. So what happens when you combine the two? You get this No Bake S’more Cheesecake — a dessert so good it should come with a warning label.

This recipe is everything you love about s’mores — the graham crackers, the gooey marshmallows, the chocolate — but in a creamy, dreamy cheesecake form. And the best part? No oven required. That’s right, you can whip this up without breaking a sweat (or breaking into tears when your oven decides to play games).

Why this recipe is a keeper:

• No bake magic — your oven can stay off duty.
• Crowd‑pleasing — kids, adults, picky eaters… everyone’s in.
• Make ahead — perfect for parties or holidays.
• Campfire vibes — without smelling like smoke.
• Customizable — milk, dark, or white chocolate, your choice.

💬 Reader prompt: Are you team “classic milk chocolate” or team “dark chocolate all the way”?

I don’t know a family that doesn’t love roasting marshmallows and making them into S’mores. I always think it sounds like a better idea while I’m in the store buying the ingredients. Don’t get me wrong, smores scream Summer, and you want, and you need to make them several times, each year. This is a yummy way for you to get your fix without heating up your kitchen by using the oven!

Ingredients

 

 

No Bake S’more Cheesecake

directions

 

1. Spray a 9-inch springform pan with cooking spray. Combine the sugar and graham crackers to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs. Drizzle in the butter and pulse until the crumbs are completely coated and moistened. Firmly press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
2. Sprinkle the powdered gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water in a small microwave-safe bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Microwave the gelatin in 15-second intervals, stirring or whisking vigorously in between each, until the mixture is very hot and the gelatin has completely dissolved, about 45 seconds total. Allow to cool completely to room temperature.
3. Combine the cream cheese, marshmallow creme and a pinch of salt to a large bowl, then use an electric mixer to blend until completely smooth. Add the cooled gelatin mixture and blend until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prepared crust, smoothing out the top with a rubber spatula. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until completely set, at least 6 hours and up to overnight. 
4. Remove the plastic wrap and place the cheesecake on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet. Run a small offset spatula or paring knife around the edges of the cheesecake to loosen it from the pan, then open the pan’s clasp and remove the outer ring. Use the off-set spatula or the back of the paring knife to smooth out the sides of the cheesecake. 
5. Place chocolate chips  into small bowl and add to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted, about 1 minute total. Drizzle the chocolate back and forth over the top of the cheesecake with a spoon. 
6. Pile the marshmallows, chocolate chips, and broken graham crackers on top of the cheesecake. 
7. Allow the cheesecake to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes (so the marshmallows aren’t super gooey when you cut into it), then slice and serve immediately.

This No Bake S’more Cheesecake is proof that dessert doesn’t have to be complicated to be unforgettable. It’s creamy, chocolatey, marshmallow‑y perfection — and versatile enough to be a birthday showstopper, a holiday treat, or a random Tuesday pick‑me‑up. Plus, it’s the kind of recipe that makes everyone smile — and isn’t that the best kind of cooking?

Here’s the thing about s’mores — they’re never just dessert. They’re the sound of marshmallows crackling, the joy of chocolate melting, the comfort of knowing you’ve got something sweet waiting at the end of the day.

And this No Bake S’more Cheesecake? It’s a keeper. It’s gooey, it’s creamy, it’s indulgent, it’s fun. It’s the kind of recipe that makes you feel like you’ve turned childhood nostalgia into something restaurant‑worthy.

But what I love most is how recipes like this bring us together. Food has that magic — it’s not just about eating, it’s about sharing. It’s about swapping tips, laughing over sticky marshmallow fingers, and building little traditions that make life tastier.

So here’s my challenge to you: make this dish, share it with your people, and then tell me your twist. Did you add peanut butter? Did you sneak in dark chocolate? Did you double the marshmallows just because you could? (No judgment — I’d be first in line for that version.)

💬 Reader prompt: Should we do a “No Bake Dessert Series” next? I’m dreaming up peanut butter pie, Oreo truffles, and maybe even a no bake tiramisu.
