Ingredients (U.S. Standard Measurements – Serves 8–10)
For the Crust:
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup marshmallow crème (like Marshmallow Fluff)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Optional: ½ teaspoon lemon juice for brightness
Optional Toppings:
- Mini marshmallows
- Whipped cream
- Crushed graham crackers
- Chocolate drizzle or shaved white chocolate
- Fresh berries
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until evenly moistened. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes while preparing the filling.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a cold mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Base
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add marshmallow crème and vanilla (plus lemon juice, if using), and beat until fluffy and fully combined.
Step 4: Fold it Together
Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow-cheese mixture until no streaks remain. Be careful not to deflate the fluffiness!
Step 5: Assemble & Chill
Spoon the filling over the prepared crust and smooth the top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best texture.
Step 6: Serve & Top
Just before serving, top with your favorite toppings – we love mini marshmallows, whipped cream swirls, and a little graham cracker crumble for crunch.
Tips & Tricks
- Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened for the smoothest texture.
- Want a chocolate crust? Use crushed Oreos instead of graham crackers.
- Swap vanilla for almond or coconut extract for a flavor twist.
- Want extra marshmallow flair? Use a kitchen torch to toast the top!
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days (if they last that long!).
