Ingredients
For the graham cracker crust:
- 2 packages of graham crackers (about 16 crackers)
- 3 Tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 8 Tablespoons (½ cup) butter, melted
For the cheesecake filling:
- 16 ounces (two 8-oz. bricks) cream cheese, at room temperature
- ½ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For topping:
- Sunday Night classic chocolate sauce
- 1 bag North Mallow vanilla bean marshmallows
- 2 graham crackers, broken into ½-inch chunks
- Frontier smoked salt
Instructions
Spray a 9x9-inch square baking dish with cooking spray and line it with parchment paper. In a food processor, pulse the graham crackers until they turn into crumbs. Add the coconut sugar or brown sugar and melted butter and process until well combined. Press into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form an even layer. Tip: Use the flat side of a dry measuring cup to firmly press down the crust.
Wipe out the food processor and add the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Pour over the prepared crust and spread evenly.
Heat the chocolate sauce until it's pourable, either in the microwave or on the stovetop. Drizzle about half of the sauce over the cream cheese filling. Use a skewer or knife to make chocolate swirls through the filling.
Arrange nine North Mallow marshmallows evenly over the top of the cheesecake. Sprinkle the graham cracker chunks on top of the marshmallows. Finish with a light sprinkle of smoked salt. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 8-12 hours or until the cheesecake is set.
When ready to serve, use a knife to loosen the edges of the cheesecake bars. Slice into squares, wiping the knife clean after each slice for neat cuts.
