Introduction
These Mini No-Bake S’mores Sweet Potato Cheesecakes are a delightful twist on classic s’mores, combining creamy sweet potato filling with a crunchy graham cracker crust and gooey toasted marshmallows. Perfect for a crowd or a special treat, they require no oven baking and are quick to assemble.

Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 4 ounces mascarpone, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (from about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 9 graham crackers (9 whole “sheets”)
- 2-3 ounces chopped dark chocolate
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Step 1: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, mascarpone, mashed sweet potato, sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Beat on medium speed until smooth and well combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator while preparing the crust and toppings.
- Step 2: Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until they become very fine crumbs. Stir in the melted butter until the crumbs are moistened and hold together when pressed.
- Step 3: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position the top oven rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with foil, spread the mini marshmallows evenly, and broil for about 30 seconds until golden and toasted. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Step 4: To assemble, press a few spoonfuls of the graham cracker crust into the bottom of small jars or cups. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling on top of the crust.
- Step 5: Sprinkle chopped dark chocolate over the filling, add a layer of toasted marshmallows, then top with more chopped chocolate and a pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Step 6: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecakes for at least 2 hours to set before serving.
Tips & Variations
- For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese and mascarpone with coconut cream or a plant-based cream cheese alternative.
- You can skip the broiler step if you prefer soft marshmallows or do this step just before serving to enjoy the toasted flavor and texture.
- Try adding a pinch of chili powder or cayenne for a subtle spicy kick that complements the sweet flavors.
Storage
Store the cheesecakes covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The texture may soften over time, so enjoy them fresh for the best flavor and presentation. To reheat the marshmallow topping gently, use a kitchen torch or briefly broil again just before serving.

- 1 cup mashed sweet potato (from about 1 medium sweet potato)
- 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup

- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- pinch of salt
Crust
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 9 graham crackers (9 whole “sheets”)
Toppings
- 2–3 ounces chopped dark chocolate
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Make the filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the cream cheese, mascarpone, mashed sweet potato, sweetened condensed milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Beat on medium speed for a couple of minutes until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Cover and chill in the refrigerator while you prepare the crust and toppings.
- Prepare the crust: Place the graham crackers in a food processor and pulse until they become very fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and stir in the melted butter until moistened and well combined.
- Toast the marshmallows: Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and position the top rack in the upper third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with foil and spread the mini marshmallows evenly. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for about 30 seconds or until the marshmallows turn golden brown. Watch carefully as they can burn quickly.
- Assemble the cheesecakes: Spoon a few tablespoons of the graham cracker crust into the bottom of small jars or cups and press down firmly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form a crust layer. Pipe or spoon the chilled cheesecake filling over the crust. Sprinkle the top with chopped dark chocolate, then add a layer of the toasted marshmallows, followed by another sprinkle of dark chocolate. Finish with a light pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg for extra flavor.
- Chill before serving: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecakes for at least 2 hours to allow them to set and flavors to meld. Serve chilled and enjoy your mini no-bake s’mores sweet potato cheesecakes!
