Celebrate National Cheesecake Day At The Cheesecake Factory!
STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — Tuesday is National Cheesecake Day!
To celebrate, Rick Anderson, General Manager of the Cheesecake Factory in Glendale, visited the KCAL9 studios to debut the chain's newest creation, Toasted Marshmallow S'mores Gallore.
The Cheesecake Factory's Toasted Marshmallow S'mores Galore is a unique and playful spin on classic S'mores you roasted by the campfire – Hershey®'s cheesecake topped with rich chocolate ganache and finished with toasted housemade marshmallow, Honey Maid® graham crackers and whipped cream.
Cheesecake Factory is also offering "Any Slice at Half Price" for dine-in guests Tuesday.
RECIPE: Cheesecake S'mores
Ingredients
• Slices of your favorite cheesecake – recommended flavors include:
o Adam's Peanut Butter Cup Fudge Ripple
o Caramel Pecan Turtle
o Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake
o Vanilla Bean
o White Chocolate Caramel Macadamia Nut Cheesecake
• Hershey's® Milk Chocolate Bars
• Honey Maid® Graham Crackers
• Jumbo Marshmallows
Directions
1. Place the cheesecake slices into the freezer for several hours until they are "deeply chilled."
2. Remove the deeply chilled slices of cheesecake from the freezer and cut into squares approximately ¼" thick. Set aside.
3. Place 3 squares of Hershey's® Milk Chocolate onto a Graham Cracker square.
4. Use a crème brulée torch to carefully warm the Milk Chocolate until it starts to get "shiny" across the top (approximately 15 seconds.) (If you do not have a crème brulée torch microwave for a few seconds).
5. Cut a Jumbo Marshmallow into 1/3's and place one of the 1/3's (cut side "up") on top of the warmed Milk Chocolate.
6. Use a crème brulée torch to carefully toast the Marshmallow until it turns a nice toasted brown color (approximately 30 seconds.) Note: Use a small container lid to "fan out" the flame when the Marshmallow reaches the ideal color. (If you do not have a crème brulée torch microwave for a few seconds).
7. Place the deeply chilled Cheesecake square directly onto the toasted Marshmallow and immediately top with another Graham Cracker square.
8. Bon Appetit!
