How to Make Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake
Ingredients
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff (1 jar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
- Fresh berries
- Mini marshmallows
- Chocolate shavings or drizzle
- Crushed graham crackers
Directions
Make the Crust: In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and sugar. Stir in the melted butter until everything is combined. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill it in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
Prepare the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until it’s smooth and fluffy. Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, mixing well until creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and airy.
Assemble the Cheesecake: Spread the cheesecake mixture over the chilled crust. Use a spatula to smooth the top evenly. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but it’s best to leave it overnight.
Decorate and Serve: Before serving, add your choice of toppings such as fresh strawberries, mini marshmallows, or a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Carefully remove the springform ring, slice the cheesecake, and serve it chilled.
How to Serve Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake
To serve, slice the cheesecake into wedges and plate each piece. You can add a dollop of whipped topping on the side or sprinkle some extra crushed graham crackers for added texture. Fresh berries or mini marshmallows make great garnishes, adding a pop of color and flavor.
How to Store Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake
Store any leftover cheesecake in the fridge. Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days. If you need to keep it longer, you can freeze it. Just remember to wrap it tightly and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw it in the fridge before serving.

Mix things up by adding different flavors to the filling. You can add crushed cookies, like Oreos, or flavored extracts like almond or coconut for a twist. Another great variation is to layer in some fruit puree or chocolate ganache between the crust and the filling.
