How to Make the Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake

Step 1: Build the Crust

Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Press firmly into a springform pan to create the base, then chill.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Filling

Beat cream cheese and vanilla until silky smooth. Add powdered sugar gradually, then blend in marshmallow fluff until everything is light and dreamy.

Step 3: Whip It Up

Whip heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture to keep it airy and fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble & Chill

Spread the filling evenly over the crust. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight if you can wait!) until the cheesecake is set.

Step 5: Garnish & Serve

Before serving, release from the pan and finish with fresh berries or a sprinkle of cocoa powder. Slice, serve, and swoon.

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

  • Chill the Bowl: For perfect whipped cream, use a cold bowl and whisk.
  • Don’t Rush the Chill: Overnight chilling gives the best texture.
  • Smooth Finish: Run a hot knife around the cheesecake before releasing from the pan for clean edges.
  • Switch the Base: Try chocolate cookies or digestive biscuits for a fun twist.

How to Serve

  • Classic Style: With a handful of fresh berries on top.
  • Extra Indulgent: Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce.
  • Mini Versions: Serve in cups or jars for party-perfect portions.

FAQs

1. Can I make this cheesecake without marshmallow fluff?
Yes, but it won’t have the same light, fluffy texture. You can swap in extra whipped cream, though the flavor will be slightly different.

2. Can I use a store-bought crust?
Absolutely! A premade graham cracker crust saves even more time.

3. How do I prevent the filling from being too soft?
Make sure to whip the cream until stiff peaks form and chill the cheesecake long enough (overnight is best).

4. Can I add flavors to the filling?
Definitely! A splash of lemon juice, melted chocolate, or almond extract can give this cheesecake a fun twist.
