Learn how to make delicious Chocolate S’mores Cheesecake Bites. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

For this indulgent yet approachable treat, gather these ingredients — I always keep a few extra graham crackers and chocolate bars in my pantry because of how often I find myself craving comfort foods like this.

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 10-12 full graham crackers)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened (preferably full-fat for richness)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows for topping
  • Toasted mini marshmallows for garnish
  • Optional: graham cracker pieces for topping
  • Optional: melted chocolate for drizzle

Substitutions you might consider? If you’re gluten-free, try gluten-free graham cracker crumbs. For a dairy-free version, coconut cream can sometimes stand in for heavy cream, and dairy-free chocolate works beautifully here. I often experiment with different chocolates — dark, milk, or even white — depending on what mood I’m in. Cooking is all about adapting to what you love, and these bites are no exception.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it to prevent sticking. I like using silicone molds for easy removal and a more uniform shape.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. This is the base that gives the bites their signature crunch.
  3. Press about a tablespoon of the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each muffin cup, creating a firm crust. Use the back of a spoon or a small glass to smooth it out. Bake for 8-10 minutes to set the crust, then let it cool slightly.
  4. While the crust cools, prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth and creamy. I find that using room temperature cream cheese makes this step much easier and results in a silky texture.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in short bursts, stirring in between until smooth. Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, blending well. This step brings that irresistible chocolate flavor that ties everything together.
  6. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chocolate-cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness. This creates a light, velvety filling that melts in your mouth.
  7. Divide the cheesecake batter evenly over the cooled crusts, filling each about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with a spatula or the back of a spoon.
  8. Bake the bites for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers still jiggle slightly. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan.
  9. Once cooled, top each cheesecake bite with a dollop of marshmallow fluff or mini marshmallows. Use a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallows for that authentic campfire flavor. If you don’t have a torch, you can place the bites under a broiler for just a few seconds — keep a close eye to prevent burning!
  10. Scatter some crushed graham cracker pieces or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra texture and flavor. Chill the bites in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
