Ingredients
  

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 cup mini marshmallows

½ cup chocolate chips (your choice of milk or dark)

Mini chocolate bars (for decorative garnish)

Additional graham cracker crumbs (for topping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Crust: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir thoroughly until the graham cracker crumbs are completely coated with the butter mixture.

    Layer the Crust: Evenly divide the graham cracker mixture among 4-6 small jars or cups. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to create a solid base, approximately a quarter of an inch thick.

      Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy. Gradually sprinkle in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until everything is fully blended and smooth.

        Whip the Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream on high speed until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula until just combined, taking care not to deflate the airy texture.

          Add the Chocolate: Carefully fold in the chocolate chips and mini marshmallows into the cheesecake mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

            Layer the Cheesecake: Spoon the cheesecake filling into each jar, filling them until they are halfway full. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon.

              Add More Crust: Sprinkle another thin layer of the graham cracker mixture on top of the cheesecake filling in each jar, establishing a second layer of crust.

                Finish with Cheesecake Layer: Top each jar with the remaining cheesecake filling, smoothing the tops for a neat and attractive finish.

                  Garnish: Decorate the tops of each jar with a few extra mini marshmallows and a small piece of chocolate bar for aesthetic appeal.

                    Chill: Refrigerate the jars for a minimum of 4 hours, but for best results, leave them to chill overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set firmly.

                      Serve: Indulge in your heavenly No-Bake S’mores Cheesecake Jars. For an extra treat, consider using a kitchen torch to lightly toast the marshmallow layer on top, giving it that classic s'mores finish!

                          Presentation Tips: Serve the jars on a rustic wooden board or round cake stand for an appealing display, and consider pairing with a scoop of ice cream to elevate the dessert experience!
