Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s sweet, smooth, and incredibly easy to make. The marshmallow and cream cheese combo gives it a silky, mousse-like texture that’s lighter than traditional cheesecake but still rich and satisfying. It’s a perfect no-bake dessert for warm days, holidays, or anytime I want something luscious without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the crust:

• Graham cracker crumbs

• Unsalted butter, melted

• Granulated sugar

For the filling:

• Cream cheese, softened

• Marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme

• Whipped topping or freshly whipped cream

• Vanilla extract

• Optional: lemon juice for a light tang

For the topping (optional):

• Extra whipped topping

• Mini marshmallows or white chocolate curls

• Crushed graham crackers for garnish

Directions

1. I start by mixing the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, then press the mixture into the bottom of a springform pan or square baking dish. I chill the crust for at least 15 minutes.

2. In a mixing bowl, I beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

3. I fold in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

4. I gently fold in the whipped topping, being careful not to deflate it, until the mixture is smooth and airy.

5. I pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula.

6. I refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours (or overnight) until set.

7. Before serving, I top it with more whipped topping, marshmallows, and a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs if I want to dress it up.

Servings and timing

This dessert serves 8 to 10 people. It takes about 15 minutes to prep and needs at least 4 hours to chill, so I plan ahead for the best texture and flavor.

Variations

• I sometimes add crushed Oreos to the crust for a cookies-and-cream twist.

• For a fruity version, I swirl in strawberry or raspberry sauce before chilling.

• I’ve made mini versions in jars or cupcake liners for individual servings.

• A dash of almond or coconut extract adds a different flavor profile.

storage/reheating

I store this cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. It’s a chilled dessert, so I serve it straight from the fridge. I don’t freeze it, as the texture may change when thawed due to the whipped ingredients.

FAQs

Can I use homemade whipped cream instead of whipped topping?

Yes, I’ve used freshly whipped cream and it works beautifully—just make sure it’s whipped to stiff peaks for the best structure.

Does this taste like marshmallows?

It has a light marshmallow flavor that blends perfectly with the cream cheese. It’s not overly sweet but just enough to feel indulgent.

Can I make this in advance?

Absolutely. I often make it a day ahead so it has plenty of time to set, and the flavor develops even more overnight.

What pan should I use?

I prefer a springform pan for easy slicing, but a 9×9-inch square dish works just as well. I line the bottom with parchment for easier removal.

Can I add fruit to the filling?

Yes, I’ve folded in fresh berries or used fruit puree swirled on top for a delicious fruity touch.

Conclusion

Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake Heaven is everything I want in a no-bake dessert—light, creamy, and sweet with a fun twist. It’s a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to prepare and even easier to devour. Whether I’m making it for a party or just because, this recipe always earns its heavenly name.
