Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Wrap the outside of the pan with aluminum foil, extending the foil at least 2 inches up the sides.
Step 2
Make crust: Stir graham cracker crumbs and sugar together in a small bowl until well combined. Blend in melted butter until mixture resembles sand. Press mixture onto the bottom and 1/2 inch up the sides of the prepared springform pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool.
Step 4
Make brownie: Stir sugar, melted butter, and vanilla in a large bowl until well combined. Mix in eggs until blended. Stir in 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until incorporated. Spread batter in crust.
Step 5
Bake in the oven until brownie begins to pull away from the side of the pan, 25 to 30 minutes.
Step 6
Meanwhile, make cheesecake: Beat together cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Step 7
Immediately after removing brownie layer from the oven, spoon cheesecake mixture over brownie. Place cheesecake in a water bath and return to the oven. Continue baking until center is set, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove from the water bath to a wire rack. Run a paring knife around the sides of the pan to loosen cake. Cool to room temperature. Remove the side of the pan.
Step 8
Set aside 2 tablespoons marshmallows and 1/4 cup chocolate chips from S'mores Baking Pieces.
Step 9
Place reserved 2 tablespoons marshmallows and 1 tablespoon cream into small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium (50%) for 10 seconds; stir. Continue cooking on medium in 5-second intervals, stirring after each heating, until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth. Spread over the top of cheesecake. Sprinkle remaining s'mores mixture over the top; press lightly into marshmallow mixture.
Step 10
Place reserved 1/4 cup chocolate chips and remaining 2 tablespoons cream in a small microwave-safe bowl. Melt following the same procedure used for the marshmallows. Drizzle over the top of cheesecake. Cover; chill in the refrigerator before serving, at least 2 hours.
