Ingredients
  

For the Crust:

1 cup graham cracker crumbs

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup heavy whipping cream

For Toppings:

1 cup mini marshmallows

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for garnish)

Optional: chocolate syrup for drizzling

Instructions
 

Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well coated and the mixture resembles wet sand. Divide the mixture evenly among four jar containers (approximately 1/4 cup per jar) and press firmly into the bottom to form the crust.

    Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until it is light and airy, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

      Layer the Cheesecake: Spoon a generous layer of the cheesecake filling over the crust in each jar, smoothing the top with the back of the spoon.

        Add a Toasted Marshmallow Layer: For an extra touch, you can either toast the mini marshmallows under a broiler for a few seconds (watching closely to prevent burning) or leave them as-is. Add a layer of mini marshmallows on top of the cheesecake filling.

          Melt the Chocolate Chips: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in short bursts of 15 seconds, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Drizzle a layer of melted chocolate over the mini marshmallows in each jar.

            Top with Crushed Graham Crackers: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the chocolate drizzle for added texture and decoration.

              Chill and Serve: Cover the jars with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cheesecake to set. When ready to serve, optionally drizzle with chocolate syrup and garnish with additional mini marshmallows.
