For the Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
For the Filling
- 16 oz (450g) full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin (optional, for firmer texture)
- Prepare the Crust: Crush graham crackers into fine crumbs, then mix them thoroughly with melted butter and sugar. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, creating an even, solid base. Refrigerate the crust while preparing the filling to help it set and hold its shape.
- Whip the Cream: Using a chilled bowl and whisk, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside to fold into the batter later, adding lightness and creaminess.
- Blend the Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, beating continuously to achieve a velvety, lump-free consistency.
- Incorporate Marshmallow Fluff: Gently fold the marshmallow fluff into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, ensuring the batter remains airy and sweet.
- Combine with Whipped Cream: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using slow, sweeping motions to maintain the light and fluffy texture. Avoid overmixing to prevent deflating the cream.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the creamy filling over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow it to set perfectly.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth batter with no lumps.
- Chill your bowls and whisk for better whipping of heavy cream.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain an airy texture.
- Do not rush chilling; proper refrigeration is key for a firm, sliceable cheesecake.
- Customize sugar levels based on preference and marshmallow fluff sweetness.
