S’more Cheesecake
S’more Cheesecake | A rich and creamy decadent chocolate filling topped with a pillow of homemade marshmallow fluff!
This childhood favorite has been transformed into the best cheesecake I have ever had! I can’t even begin to put into words how wonderful the Swiss Meringue is. I guess the best way to describe it a creamy pillow of sweet deliciousness that I could eat by the spoonfuls! S’mores is not just for summer you can serve this one year round because….no campfire required! You can torch to top of the meringue, I chose to leave it alone.
