Cheesecake Bars

When I think of summer time eats and treats, I most often think of s’mores. I have shared lots of s’mores recipes over the years, many of them no bake. There’s a reason for that. Summer is hot people, especially here in Sacramento. No bake treats are essential, especially when they look and taste like these No Bake S’mores Cheesecake Bars.

The weather had us fooled for a short time. I mean we got tons of rain this year, heck, it even rained last week! But the heat is on it’s way. Supposed to be 103 and 105 this weekend which means I’ll be broiling during the boys’ swim meet.

No Bake Desserts Are Perfect For Summer

Not to worry. I’ve got the perfect s’mores no bake dessert to get us all through the hot summer days.

These No Bake S’mores Cheesecake Bars are all you could ask for in a summer dessert. A graham cracker crust, marshmallow cheesecake, and a milk chocolate ganache is the perfect way to incorporate all that s’mores flavor without setting foot near a fire.

Well, almost.

For The Roasted Marshmallows Topping

I added a layer of marshmallows to the top. You can do one of three things:

1. Leave the marshmallows alone.
2. Use a torch to roast them.
3. Pop them under the broiler for about 30 seconds.

There is no wrong answer here. Trust me.

No Bake Graham Cracker Crust

This simple graham cracker crust works great for no bake desserts. Just three simple ingredients, mix them all together and you’re good to go.

• graham cracker crumbs
• sugar
• butter

Just make sure to use a measuring cup to really press the crust into the baking dish. That, and copious amounts of butter, will keep that crust from crumbling.

Creamy No Bake Cheesecake Layer

The cheesecake is unbelievably creamy and with the addition of some melted marshmallows, gives you a hint of marshmallow flavor.

I used Challenge Butter and cream cheese for this recipe because they’re the brand I’ve used and trusted for years and years. Made with 100% real cream, it’s my butter of choice. I used Challenge Cream Cheese for the cheesecake which I know from experience gives me an ultra creamy texture. As a Challenge ambassador, I love sharing their amazing, high quality products with you. I’ve been using Challenge butter forEVER and their cream cheese is just as fantastic!
