Ingredients
  

For the crust
  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs Ensure they are finely crushed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For the ganache and topping
  • 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips For a stronger flavor, use bittersweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream Divided into two portions
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared cake pan to form the crust.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool.
Making the Ganache
  1. In a saucepan, heat heavy cream until it just starts to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth.
  2. Pour half of the chocolate ganache over the crust and let it set.
Assembling the Cake
  1. Whip the remaining heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
  2. Spread the whipped cream over the ganache layer.
  3. Pour the remaining ganache on top and add mini marshmallows.
Chilling
  1. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

This cake can be stored covered in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Ensure it's kept chilled to maintain its texture. Consider garnishing with extra mini marshmallows or chocolate sauce before serving.
