Since I live in New York I’m pretty spoiled with good cheesecakes in my area. We have some of the best Italian Pastry Shops that sell the most amazing creamy, delicious cheesecakes. My Instant Pot NY Cheesecake Recipe is one of my go-to recipes when I have the time to make it at home.

However, when I’m short on time, I make No-Bake Cheesecake. It’s a recipe that I’ve had for years and it’s great when I’m in the mood for a sweet treat. This time I added a twist and made it into a S’mores dessert.

In a large bowl take half of the whipped cream mixture and fold it into the cream cheese mixture until it is fully incorporated. Take the remaining half of the whipped cream mixture and fold that in as well.

For the graham cracker crust:

In a medium bowl, mix together the crushed graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and melted butter until it resembles the consistency of wet sand.

To assemble Smores no-bake cheesecakes in mason jars:

Take a tbsp of the graham cracker mixture and place it in the bottom of a mason jar.
Lightly press so a crust forms.
Using a spoon or a piping bag, layer cheesecake mixture onto the graham cracker crust until nearly hitting the top of the mason jar.

Add a layer of chocolate sauce, then top with mini marshmallows.
Optional: Using a kitchen torch or broiler, heat up the marshmallows until they’ve browned. This should not take more than 1-2 minutes.

Let set up in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
Remove from the fridge and stick a graham cracker into the top and drizzle with more chocolate sauce. Serve chilled.
