Slice of s'mores Cheesecake on blue plate

Friday was the 6th anniversary of when Zach and I first started dating.  It also was exactly 3 months from the date when we will be getting married (October 11th).

6 years… that’s a quarter of my life, and the time has just been flying by.  We’re engaged now… we own a house together now… it’s still a little much for me to wrap my head around (I remember when I thought getting our first cell phone plan together was a big commitment).

Saturday we picked out wedding bands and yesterday we went to our first marriage prep meeting after putting up drywall in our basement all morning.  A lot has changed in the past 6 years.

I met Zach when we were 16 years old and working at a nearby Arby’s fast food restaurant together.  He used to pick on me all the time.  I had a huge crush on him pretty much from the start… but it took him 2 years to finally catch on and ask me out.

Boys.  They can be so slow 😉

What better way to celebrate an anniversary than with a cheesecake?  A S’mores cheesecake, specifically.  Summertime is ideal for late-night bonfires and roasting s’mores, but I think I’ve found an even better way to enjoy that graham cracker/chocolate/marshmallow flavor combo.

And Zachary (between mouthfuls) told me this was the best thing I’ve made so far.  Trying to get sincere, positive feedback about desserts from him is kind of like trying to wring water from a rock, so this recipe is definitely a winner, and will be around for a while.

A classic, graham cracker-based crust was the obvious choice for a S’mores cheesecake.  Top that with a decadent, milk chocolate fudge (don’t freak out, it is very easy, no candy thermometer needed!), which in turn is topped with a creamy, marshmallow fluff based cheesecake and then sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs and drizzled with additional milk chocolate.

Share it with the special person in your life.  Or eat it all yourself, whatev, I don’t judge.

Enjoy!

      Hello, Ava! A springform pan really helps when making cheesecake, however it is not needed. You can use a cake pan but I recommend lining the pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil prior to baking. I hope that you enjoy the S’mores Cheesecake. 🙂

        Do I line the sides as well? Or just the bottom?

        Thank you!

        Hello, Ava! It really is a preference. I typically line the sides as well, but it is up to you. I hope that you enjoy the cheesecake! 🙂

    Well happy anniversary to you! I met my husband when I was 16 too! So crazy to think how much has changed since then. Exciting how many life changes you’re going thru. After the wedding you’ll be all set and ready to settle down in your new house. So fun!

    This cheesecake seriously sounds amazing! What a great idea!
