How to Make

Quick Overview

This recipe checks every box for busy home cooks: it’s no-bake, takes less than 30 minutes to prepare (plus chilling), and relies on easy-to-find pantry staples. The rich, creamy texture and playful toppings make each slice unforgettable, while the speedy prep means you won’t spend all day in the kitchen. From its buttery graham cracker crust to the light-as-air marshmallow topping, this is a dessert that always impresses—without any fuss.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
16 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
1 cup heavy cream, whipped
1 cup marshmallow fluff (for topping)
1 cup heavy cream, whipped (for topping)
Mini marshmallows or crushed graham crackers (optional, for garnish)

Step-by-Step

1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until everything is moistened and resembles wet sand.
2. Form the base: Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (or your favorite pie dish) to create an even crust. Use the bottom of a measuring cup for extra-easy pressing. Pop the crust in the fridge while you make the filling.
3. Combine the cream cheese mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
4. Add marshmallow fluff: Fold 1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
5. Fold in whipped cream: Gently fold in 1 cup of freshly whipped heavy cream, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
6. Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the cream cheese and marshmallow mixture evenly over the chilled crust.
7. Top it off: In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup marshmallow fluff and 1 cup whipped cream together until smooth and fluffy. Use a spatula or piping bag to swirl this topping over the cheesecake layer.
8. Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until set. Overnight is even better for perfect slices.
9. Garnish and serve: Before serving, top with mini marshmallows or a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers for extra texture and charm.
10. Slice and enjoy! Serve cold for the best creamy texture.

What to Serve With

Pair this dreamy dessert with fresh berries for a burst of tartness, or offer a side of fruit salad to balance its richness. Lightly brewed coffee or iced lattes make a perfect beverage match, enhancing the creamy flavor with their subtle bitterness. For a full party spread, serve alongside a platter of crisp cookies or salty snacks for a wonderful sweet-and-savory contrast.

Top Tips for Perfecting Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake Heaven

• For a firmer crust, bake it for 8 minutes at 350°F before assembling (completely optional for no-bake lovers!).
• Be sure to use softened cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
• Whip the cream to medium peaks—too stiff and the texture becomes less airy.
• Line the pan with parchment for easy removal and cleaner slices.
• Swap graham crackers for chocolate cookies or crushed vanilla wafers for fun flavor twists.
• Don’t overmix the filling after adding whipped cream—gentle folding keeps things extra light.
• Let the cheesecake chill fully. Rushing the set time may mean a runny dessert!
• Common mistakes to avoid: overbeating the filling, under-mixing the crust, or skimping on chill time.

Storing and Reheating Tips

Keep leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days—its flavor actually improves after a day or two! To freeze, wrap slices individually with plastic wrap and foil, then store in an airtight container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. This cheesecake is best enjoyed chilled, so no need to reheat—simply plate and dig in!

FAQs

Can I make Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake Heaven ahead of time?
Absolutely! This cheesecake is perfect for preparing a day in advance, letting flavors meld and texture firm up overnight.

What can I use if I don’t have marshmallow fluff?
You can make homemade marshmallow fluff using egg whites, sugar, and corn syrup, or substitute whipped topping for a slightly different texture.

Is this recipe gluten-free?
If you use gluten-free graham crackers, this decadent dessert can easily be made gluten-free.

Can I use store-bought whipped topping instead of homemade whipped cream?
Yes, store-bought whipped topping works in a pinch, but freshly whipped cream gives the best flavor and texture.

How do I get clean slices when serving?
Use a sharp, hot knife (dipped in hot water and wiped clean between slices) to get perfect, bakery-worthy pieces every time.
