Rich and creamy Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake Heaven combines velvety cream cheese with pillowy marshmallow fluff. Delicate layers and smooth textures promise an indulgent dessert experience you’ll savor with pure delight.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 g) marshmallow fluff or cream
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups (200 g) graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (30 g) powdered sugar
- whipped cream
- mini marshmallows
- shaved chocolate or fruit
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Pulverize graham crackers into fine crumbs, merging thoroughly with melted butter and sugar until the mixture mimics damp sand-like consistency.
- Crust Setting: Press the crumb mixture firmly into a springform pan’s base, creating a compact, even foundation. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes until golden, then cool completely.
- Cream Cheese Blend: Whip softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and velvety. Gradually fold in powdered sugar, marshmallow fluff, and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture becomes light and uniform.
- Cream Incorporation: Whip heavy cream separately until stiff peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture, maintaining its airy texture and preventing deflation.
- Assembly and Chilling: Spread the marshmallow cream cheese filling evenly across the cooled crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Refrigerate for a minimum of three hours to allow complete setting and flavor melding.
- Final Presentation: Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan. Garnish with miniature marshmallows, a dollop of fresh whipped cream, and a sprinkle of crumbled graham crackers or chocolate shavings for an elegant finish.
Notes
Optimize Cracker Crust: Pulverize graham crackers into ultra-fine crumbs for a smoother, more cohesive base that binds perfectly with melted butter.
Prevent Lumpy Filling: Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature and softened completely to achieve a silky-smooth texture without unwanted chunks.
Maintain Whipped Cream Volume: Chill mixing bowl and whisk beforehand to help heavy cream whip faster and hold stiff peaks more effectively.
Refrigeration Strategy: Allow cheesecake to set slowly and undisturbed in the coldest part of the refrigerator to develop optimal texture and prevent cracking.
