Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the crust:

Graham cracker crumbs
Granulated sugar
Unsalted butter (melted)

For the filling:

Cream cheese (softened)
Granulated sugar
Eggs
Sour cream
Vanilla extract
Semi-sweet or milk chocolate (melted and slightly cooled)

For the topping:

Mini marshmallows
Chocolate chips or syrup (optional)
Crushed graham crackers (for garnish)

Directions

Prepare the crust: In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 7-inch springform pan. Freeze for 10 minutes while making the filling.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing gently. Stir in sour cream, vanilla extract, and melted chocolate until just combined.
Assemble: Pour the filling over the prepared crust. Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Cook in the Ninja Foodi: Add 1 cup of water to the Ninja Foodi pot. Place the cheesecake pan on the trivet and lower it into the pot. Cover with foil. Pressure cook on high for 35 minutes. Allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then quick release any remaining pressure.
Cool and chill: Remove the cheesecake from the Foodi. Let it cool at room temperature for 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Add toppings: Once chilled, top with mini marshmallows and toast with a kitchen torch until golden (or broil briefly). Sprinkle with chocolate chips or drizzle with chocolate syrup and crushed graham crackers.

Servings and timing

This cheesecake serves 8–10 people. Prep time is about 20 minutes, cook time is 35 minutes, and natural pressure release is 10 minutes. Chill time is at least 4 hours or overnight.

Variations

Peanut Butter S’mores: Add a swirl of peanut butter to the filling or crust.
Dark Chocolate Version: Use dark chocolate for a richer, more intense flavor.
Mini Cheesecakes: Use silicone molds to make individual portions.
No-Bake Topping: Use marshmallow fluff instead of mini marshmallows for a quicker finish.
Extra Crunch: Add a layer of chopped chocolate or nuts between the crust and filling.

Storage/Reheating

Store leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic and foil, and store for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. The marshmallow topping may soften in storage, so it’s best added fresh before serving if freezing.

FAQs

Can I use a different pan size?

A 7-inch springform pan is ideal for the Ninja Foodi, but you can use smaller pans for mini versions. Adjust cook time as needed.

What type of chocolate works best?

Semi-sweet or milk chocolate melt smoothly and balance the sweetness of the cheesecake well.

How do I toast the marshmallows without a torch?

Place the cheesecake under a broiler for 1–2 minutes. Watch closely to prevent burning.

Can I make it without the marshmallow topping?

Yes, the cheesecake is delicious even without the topping. You can also use whipped cream or chocolate ganache.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Absolutely. This cheesecake is best when made a day ahead and chilled overnight.

Why is my cheesecake cracked?

Cracks can happen from overmixing or sudden temperature changes, but they won’t affect the taste and can be covered with toppings.

Do I need to cover the cheesecake with foil?

Yes, covering with foil prevents condensation from dripping onto the cheesecake while pressure cooking.

Can I use marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallows?

Yes, marshmallow fluff works as an easy topping option—spread it over the top before serving.

How do I know the cheesecake is done?

The center should be slightly jiggly but not liquid. It will set completely as it chills.

Can I use the Ninja Foodi air crisp setting?

Yes, you can use the air crisp function at the end to toast marshmallows if you don’t have a torch or broiler.
