No Bake S’mores Cheesecake

Living back in LA, baking is sometimes the last thing on my mind. It’s just gets so hot down here in the summer! My kitchen is so small that once the oven is on, the whole house is cooking. Literally.

I try to keep my baking in the early morning or late night so it’s a little cooler, but my sweet tooth can’t tell time. Silly tooth.

That’s where this no bake s’mores cheesecake comes in. There’s no oven or heat involved. You simply beat some ingredients together and eat it with a spoon. Now you can have dessert any time you want it!

This fluff is quite dreamy, folks. It’s like eating a pillowy cloud that tastes just like cheesecake, without the heaviness of the real dessert. It’s cool temperature is also refreshing.

I used Sanders Extra Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge that I got from SweetXO, per the recommendation of Angelo (the manager over at SweetXO in Agoura Hills). He was spot on! Even though the name “extra dark chocolate” would normally scare some people off, Angelo assured us that it wasn’t THAT dark. My DF and I both tried 90+ percent dark chocolate in Japan and let me tell you, I wasn’t a fan. It’s so bitter! Don’t worry, Sanders extra dark is still sweet.

Don’t forget that I’ll be hosting the SweetXO party in Manhattan Beach in two weeks!

Instead of using regular ol’ mini marshmallows to top off my dessert, I went the festive route with Patriotic Vanilla Creme flavored Chicks by Peeps! Aren’t they adorable?

You can whip this up for your 4th of July party and your guests will love them!
