Start by preparing the graham cracker crust layer. Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter and mix it with the graham cracker crumbs until evenly combined. Set aside.
Next, prepare the chocolate ganache. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to steam (do not boil).
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Allow to sit for 2-3 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy.
Set aside to let the ganache cool slightly before use.
Using a hand or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the whipped cream gently until fully incorporated to create a fluffy cream layer. Set aside.
Lightly toast the mini marshmallows using a kitchen torch or under a broiler for 30-60 seconds (optional but adds a smoky flavor).
Begin assembly by layering the graham cracker mixture at the bottom of a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses.
Add a layer of the cream cheese mixture, followed by a drizzle of chocolate ganache.
Layer with toasted mini marshmallows. Repeat layers until all components are used, finishing with a cream cheese layer on top.
For garnish, sprinkle crushed graham crackers, drizzle chocolate ganache, and shave dark chocolate over the top.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve cold.
