A creamy, delicious marshmallow cheesecake that you can make in a dutch oven while glamping! With a fun topping bar including chocolate ganache, Honey Maid Graham Crackers, and more!

A marshmallow cheesecake made in a dutch oven (while camping), and topped with ganache and graham crackers

Yes! You did read that correctly, using a dutch oven for cooking a cheesecake! Crazy right? But totally possible. And what says “camping” more than s’mores? And what says luxury and glamour more than cheesecake? Combine the two for glamping.

Cheesecake made in the dutch oven!

I love to travel. I love to see the world, to hike, sight see, and enjoy everything our amazing planet has to offer. In. A. Hotel. Or a Resort. With cozy comforters, hot water, electricity. Not so much in a tent. Not so much sleeping on the ground.

glamping is so much fun

My kids complained last year that they never get to go camping. Apparently cruises are not going to suffice, they want nature, dirt, and tents. And so we compromised and went with glamping instead. That is glamourous camping. In other words, you get to enjoy everything camping has to offer like campfire stories and s’mores, but with a little glamour thrown in.

Lucky for me, my parents have this huge amazing tent, and they built a floor to put under it. So you can have a great camping experience with all the comforts of home, and all the fun of being out in nature. It is big enough to house a huge air mattress, bed side tables for holding drinks, phones, pumpkins (we went around Halloween), and even a plant to make it feel homey.

We also had a table, lamps, chairs, a stereo, and more! If I am going to camp, I am going to glamp. I grew up in a family with 10 kids, I have camped a gazillion times in my life, so I think it is okay to want a little more comfort.

We figured Arches National Park would be a great place for glamping! We found a pumpkin patch to camp in, and set up shop. I had gone to Walmart to get everything I needed for the weekend, from lanterns to hang outside the tent to rope lights we could use to make everything beautiful.

Plus some cozy bedding, throw pillows, side tables with plants, music to listen to, and more. That is an air mattress. And let me tell you, it sure beats sleeping on the ground!

I knew I wanted cold drinks and delicious food. I also knew that I did not want to spend a lot of time cooking when there were red rocks, and beautiful arches to explore. So I bought an electric cooler, and had cold drinks and frozen pizza the whole trip. We made Freschetta Pizza on the grill. It was so good, and totally tasty, and I have an easy ranch dip you can make to go with it for added flavor and fun.

We opted for the Brick Oven variety of Freschetta, since the crust is so good, and the sauce is made from real tomatoes. With real cheese, it got so nice and melty, and was so yummy grilled. But another great option is the Freschetta® Naturally Rising pizzas.

Freschetta-pizza-for-grill

To grill the pizza you need to do the following:

  1. First, keep the pizza frozen until you are ready to grill. But be sure not to eat it if you haven’t cooked it.
  2. Grilling is inconsistent, as it depends on a lot of factors for heat, heat distribution, etc. So the pizza is done when the cheese is all melted and the bottom of the crust is golden brown. When glamping, be sure to keep an eye on it.
  3. Preheat your grill for at least 5 minutes.
  4. Take the pizza out of the cardboard and clear overwrap film before you start cooking it.
  5. Take a piece of foil at least twice the width of the pizza and fold it in half so you get a double layer. Then over the bottom of the pizza with it.
  6. Put the pizza on the foil onto the center of your pre-heated grill.
  7. Now turn the grill to low (if possible, if using a charcoal grill, open vents) and cook for about 13-15 minutes with the lid closed. Of course, this time could vary, so watch it.
  8. Let the pizza stand for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.

As I have mentioned before, my family is full of dippers, so I made a ranch dip to dip the pizza in. It is easy, and flavorful, and a great compliment to the grilled Freschetta.

The ranch dip was great because we could dip our pizza in it, but I also used it throughout the trip for veggie dip. Yum!

An easy to make ranch dip.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz of Sour Cream
  • 1 tsp of Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp of Garlic Powder
  • 2 tsp of dried Dill
  • 1/2 tsp dried Basil
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon adjust according to taste
  • 10 inch dutch oven
  • 8 inch spring form pan
  • aluminum foil
  • 2 cups water
  • 30 pieces of charcoal more may be needed

Crust

  • 1 cup Honey Maid Graham Crackers
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 2 Tbs sugar

Filling

  • 2- 8 ounce packages of cream cheese
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup marshmallow fluff
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a small bowl.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings to your personal preference.
  • Keep chilled until ready to serve.
  • Serve with pizza and veggie sides.
  • Start your charcoal. Light it, and get it going so it is hot. Depending on weather conditions, make a foil tent around it to keep it hot.
  • Crush graham crackers
  • Mix with melted butter and sugar to form a crust
  • Press the Honey Maid graham cracker mixture into the bottom of a springform pan
  • Put 2 cups of water in the bottom of a 10 inch dutch oven
  • Place 8 charcoal pieces under the dutch oven, and 12 on the lid, put the lid over the top and start heating the dutch oven and water.
  • While that is heating, mix together the filling. Use a hand mixer, or just mix really well, and mix the cream cheese and sugar, vanilla, marshmallow fluff, and heaving whipping cream.
  • When well mixed, add the eggs, one at a time, and blend until just incorporated. Do not over mix. Pour over crust into springform pan. If your pan is not airtight, put foil around the bottom edge so the water bath does not seep in and ruin your cheesecake.
  • Carefully lift the lid to the dutch oven, and place the springform inside the heated water.
  • Replace lid and let cook for about 1- 1 1/2 hours, until no longer jiggly in center. Replace coals as needed to keep the dutch oven hot and heating evenly.
  • Once cooked, remove from dutch oven, and let cool. Then top as you wish. For me it was chocolate ganache and graham crackers.

Notes

I replaced a few coals about half way through the process. 3 on top, and added to extras on bottom at the 30 minute mark. It took just oven an hour for my cheesecake to cook.

    I don't go camping but would love to make this in my fan force oven. Can you give me the oven tem and cooking time please and also do you need to put the cheesecake in a water bath or just put it straight in the oven.

      I have never made this in my normal oven before. You could probably adjust this recipe by adding the marshmallow and taking out the chocolate, and then leave off the raspberries. https://www.eazypeazymealz.com/raspberry-chocolate-ganache-cheesecake/

    This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Fantastic job. I really enjoyed what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
