Ingredients:
- Crust:
- 2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- Toppings:
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
- Fresh berries, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Crust
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Stir until the mixture resembles wet sand.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it’s evenly packed to form a firm crust.
- Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well incorporated and smooth.
- Gently fold in the marshmallow fluff using a spatula until the mixture is light and airy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip, as the cream should be fluffy but not grainy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, ensuring everything is well combined and fluffy.
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 3: Chill the Cheesecake
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set completely.
Step 4: Add the Toppings
- Once the cheesecake has set, remove it from the refrigerator. Gently release the sides of the springform pan.
- Sprinkle the top of the cheesecake with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips for extra indulgence. You can also add fresh berries for a fruity touch.
- Slice and serve the cheesecake chilled for a heavenly, creamy dessert.
