Ingredients
  

For the crust:

1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs

½ cup unsalted butter, melted

¼ cup granulated sugar

For the cheesecake filling:

16 oz cream cheese, softened

¾ cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

½ cup mini marshmallows

For the topping:

½ cup chocolate ganache (store-bought or homemade)

½ cup mini marshmallows

¼ cup crushed graham crackers

Extra chocolate pieces or shavings (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the crust:

    - In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar until well blended. The mixture should resemble wet sand.

      - Layer the crust mixture evenly at the bottom of each jar, pressing down gently to create a solid base. Set aside.

        Make the cheesecake filling:

          - In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

            - Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated and smooth.

              - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

                - Fold in the mini marshmallows for a delightful texture and burst of flavor.

                  Assemble the jars:

                    - Spoon or pipe a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar, filling them to about ¾ full.

                      - Drizzle a layer of chocolate ganache over the cheesecake filling.

                        - Repeat the layer of cheesecake filling until the jars are filled nearly to the top.

                          Prepare the topping:

                            - Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top of the last layer of cheesecake filling.

                              - Add extra mini marshmallows on top and lightly toast them with a kitchen torch (if desired) for that signature s’mores flavor.

                                - Finish with chocolate pieces or shavings to elevate the presentation.

                                  Chill and serve:

                                    - Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

                                      - Enjoy your delightful no-bake s’mores cheesecake jars chilled straight from the fridge!
