Ingredients

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

16 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy cream, chilled

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup chocolate chips (you can choose semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Extra graham cracker crumbs for topping

Additional mini marshmallows for garnish

Chocolate syrup for drizzling

Instructions

Prepare the Crust:

- In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix thoroughly until the texture resembles wet sand and everything is well incorporated.

Assemble the Crust:

- Evenly distribute the crust mixture among the bottoms of approximately 6 serving jars. Press down firmly using the back of a spoon to create a compact and even crust layer.

Make the Cheesecake Filling:

- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully blended and creamy.

Whip the Cream:

- In a separate bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream with a hand mixer or whisk until stiff peaks form. Take care not to over-whip, as you want the cream dense yet airy.

Fold Together:

- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully, ensuring the whipped cream remains fluffy and light.

Add the Chocolates and Marshmallows:

- Stir the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips into the cheesecake filling until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Layer the Cheesecake Jars:

- Spoon or pipe a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture onto the graham cracker crust in each jar. Repeat this layering process with remaining crust and cheesecake until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a dollop of cheesecake on top.

Garnish:

- For the final touches, sprinkle extra graham cracker crumbs over each jar, add a few mini marshmallows, and drizzle with chocolate syrup to enhance both taste and visual appeal.

Chill:

- Cover each jar with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to achieve the best flavor and set texture.

Serve:

- Prior to serving, if desired, use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the tops of the marshmallows for a delightful campfire aesthetic. Then, enjoy your scrumptious No-Bake S’mores Cheesecake Jars!
