Cheesecake Filling
- 32 oz (908 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (198 g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (175 g) sour cream
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt

Instructions
- Make the Crust: Preheat oven to 325 °F (163 °C). Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until moistened. Press into a 9″ springform pan, bottom and ½″ up the sides. Bake 8‑10 minutes, then cool.
- Prepare the Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sugar, sour cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix in eggs one at a time until just combined. Fold in mini marshmallows and chocolate chips. Pour over cooled crust.
- Bake: Bake 60‑70 minutes until edges are set and center slightly jiggles. Turn off oven, crack door, and let sit 1 hour. Then cool on a rack, wrap, and chill at least 4 hours (overnight is ideal).
- Make the Ganache: Heat cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit 2‑3 minutes, then whisk until glossy. Cool slightly, then pour over chilled cheesecake. Chill briefly to set.
- Finish with Toasted Marshmallows: Arrange jumbo marshmallows atop the ganache. Toast using a kitchen torch or under broiler until golden. Serve.
