Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 1.5 cups graham cracker crumbs Try substituting with chocolate wafer cookies or crushed Oreos for a different flavor.
  • 0.5 cups sugar Consider a sugar alternative for a low-calorie version if reducing sweetness is needed.
  • 0.5 cups melted butter Using unsalted butter allows for better control of salt levels in your dessert.
For the Filling
  • 16 ounces cream cheese Ensure it's softened for easy blending; you can substitute with mascarpone for added flavor.
  • 7 ounces marshmallow fluff While there are no direct substitutes for flavor, layering with whipped cream can tone down the sweetness if desired.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For a unique twist, consider using almond extract instead.
  • 8 ounces whipped topping You can swap this for homemade whipped cream to enhance freshness.
Optional Toppings
  • fresh berries Strawberries or blueberries provide a delightful contrast to the creamy cheesecake.
  • mini marshmallows A sprinkling on top offers both fun and texture.
  • chocolate drizzle A rich chocolate sauce pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the cheesecake.

Equipment

  • 9-inch springform pan
  • medium bowl
  • large mixing bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Spatula

Method
 

Prepare the Crust
  1. In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with ½ cup of sugar. Pour in ½ cup of melted unsalted butter and mix until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes while you prepare the filling, allowing it to set.
Make the Filling
  1. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat 16 ounces of softened cream cheese on medium speed until it reaches a smooth and fluffy texture, about 2-3 minutes. Gradually add in 7 ounces of marshmallow fluff and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture is creamy and well combined. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl for consistency.
Fold in the Whipped Topping
  1. Gently fold in 8 ounces of whipped topping to the creamy filling using a spatula. This folding action helps to maintain the light and airy texture essential for the Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake. Continue until the mixture is uniformly combined, but avoid over-mixing to keep its fluffiness intact.
Assemble & Chill
  1. Pour the creamy filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing it out with a spatula for an even surface. Once evenly spread, cover the springform pan tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator. Chill for at least 4 hours, but for best results, let it sit overnight to allow the flavors to meld beautifully.
Serve
  1. When ready to serve, carefully remove the springform ring and place the cheesecake on a serving platter. Add your choice of delightful toppings, such as fresh berries, mini marshmallows, or a chocolate drizzle, right before serving. Slice into generous pieces and enjoy the creamy, dreamy goodness of this Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake chilled!

Notes

Chill your cheesecake for at least 4 hours, but overnight is best for flavor and texture. Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
