Marshmallow Cheesecake

Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake Heaven is a dreamy, no-bake dessert that combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the fluffy sweetness of marshmallows. With a buttery graham cracker crust, a marshmallow-infused filling, and a cloud-like topping, this dessert is as fun to make as it is to eat. Perfect for warm weather or any occasion, it’s a crowd-pleaser that requires minimal effort but delivers maximum flavor. I’ve made this cheesecake countless times, and it never fails to impress. The no-bake method makes it a go-to for last-minute gatherings. My family adores the marshmallow flavor—it’s like eating a fluffy cloud with every bite. I love experimenting with toppings. Crushed graham crackers add a delightful crunch, while mini marshmallows make it extra playful.

Ingredients and Their Role

* Graham Cracker Crumbs (1 ½ cups): The base of the crust, providing a sweet and crunchy foundation. Opt for finely crushed crumbs for a smooth texture. * Granulated Sugar (¼ cup): Adds sweetness to the crust, balancing the buttery flavor. * Unsalted Butter (½ cup, melted): Binds the crust together and adds richness. Use high-quality butter for the best flavor. * Cream Cheese (16 oz, softened): The star of the filling, offering a creamy and tangy base. Make sure it’s softened to avoid lumps. * Powdered Sugar (1 cup): Sweetens the filling without the graininess of granulated sugar. * Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): Enhances the overall flavor with a warm, aromatic note. * Marshmallow Fluff (1 ½ cups for filling, 1 cup for topping): The key ingredient that brings the marshmallow flavor and fluffy texture. * Heavy Cream (1 cup for filling, 1 cup for topping): Whipped to perfection, it adds lightness and volume to both the filling and topping. * Mini Marshmallows or Crushed Graham Crackers (optional): For garnish, adding texture and visual appeal.

How to Make Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake Heaven

Preparing the Crust In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring an even layer. Chill the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling. Creating the Filling In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and marshmallow fluff, mixing until fully incorporated. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, being careful not to deflate the airiness. Assembling the Cheesecake Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until the filling is fully set. Making the Topping In a clean bowl, combine the remaining marshmallow fluff and whipped cream. Mix until smooth and fluffy. Spread this mixture over the set cheesecake, creating a cloud-like layer. Final Touches Garnish with mini marshmallows or crushed graham crackers, if desired. Chill the cheesecake for another 1-2 hours before serving to ensure the topping sets perfectly.
