Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 25 minutes
Servings 12

Ingredients

  • For the base:
  • 1 cup digestive biscuit/graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 stick (56g) unsalted butter melted
  • For the cheesecake layer:
  • 6 oz full fat cream cheese
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the chocolate layer:
  • 7 oz good quality milk chocolate, melted (I used 2 Green & Blacks bars)
  • 1 tbsp flavourless oil, I used Sunflower
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180C/350F and line a 12 hole cupcake tin.
  • Place the biscuit crumbs into a medium bowl and pour the melted butter over them, mix until all the crumbs are coated.
  • Divide the coated crumbs between the cupcake liners, around 1tbsp per liner. Leave to one side.
  • Place the cream cheese, sugar, egg and vanilla into a medium bowl and beat with a hand mixer until smooth and light.
  • Spoon the cheesecake batter over the biscuit base, around 1tbsp per liner.
  • Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes until an inserted skewer into the centre comes out clean and the cheesecake is ever so slightly golden around the edges.
  • Leave to cool completely before making the chocolate layer.
  • Once cool, break the chocolate into a heatproof bowl and melt, either over a simmering saucepan of water, or in the microwave in 10 second increments.
  • Once the chocolate is melted, add the oil and stir until well incorporated.
  • Divide between the liners, around 1tbsp per liner.
  • Sprinkle each S'mores cheesecake with mini marshmallows and leave to set.*
  • Mini S'mores cheesecakes will keep in an airtight container, in the fridge for 2 days.*

Notes

*You can place the cheesecakes under the grill for 30 seconds - 1 minute to brown the marshmallows, or use a cooks blowtorch to lightly scorch them. *The chocolate will lose it's glossiness in the fridge and appear a little white, this is fine. However, if this is a problem you CAN leave them out in a cool space, but eat them on the same day as cheesecake shouldn't be kept out of the fridge for too long. Recipe by Annie of Annie's Noms
