Ingredients
Scale
Crust:
- 2 cups (473 ml) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup (57 grams) melted butter
Filling:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 jar (7 ounces/198 grams) marshmallow fluff
Topping:
- 1 cup (237 ml) heavy cream, whipped
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and construct a buttery graham cracker foundation by mixing crumbs with melted butter, pressing firmly into a springform pan, then baking for 8 minutes until golden. Allow crust to cool completely.
- Using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese with sugar and vanilla until achieving a velvety, lump-free consistency that’s smooth and glossy.
- Integrate marshmallow fluff into the cream cheese mixture, stirring gently to create a uniform, cloud-like texture without overmixing.
- Delicately fold whipped cream into the marshmallow-cream cheese base, maintaining its airy volume by using soft, circular motions.
- Transfer the fluffy filling onto the cooled crust, using a spatula to spread evenly and eliminate any potential air pockets.
- Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for a minimum of 4 hours, preferably overnight, to ensure complete setting and optimal flavor development.
- Before serving, enhance the dessert’s visual appeal by garnishing with dollops of whipped cream and a sprinkle of miniature marshmallows for added texture and sweetness.
Notes
- Ensure graham cracker crumbs are finely ground for a smooth, compact crust that holds together perfectly when sliced.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and achieve a silky, seamless texture in your cheesecake mixture.
- Fold whipped cream gently using a figure-eight motion to maintain its airy volume and prevent deflating the delicate structure.
- For a gluten-free version, swap graham cracker crumbs with crushed gluten-free cookies or ground almond meal to create an equally delicious crust.
