Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
• ¼ cup sugar
• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow creme)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ tsp lemon juice (optional, for a slight tang)
• 1 tbsp gelatin (optional, for firmer texture)

For the Topping (optional):

• Whipped cream
• Chocolate shavings or fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
• In a medium-sized bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Stir until everything is evenly mixed and the crumbs are coated with butter.
• Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (or pie dish) to form a crust.
• Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and set. Let it cool completely.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:

• In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
• Add the marshmallow fluff, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using). Beat until fully combined and smooth.
• In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
• If you want a firmer cheesecake, dissolve the gelatin in a small amount of hot water (about 1-2 tbsp), then stir it into the cheesecake filling before folding in the whipped cream.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake:

• Once the graham cracker crust has cooled, pour the cheesecake filling into the crust and spread it out evenly.
• Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow it to set.

4. Serve:

• Once set, top the cheesecake with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or fresh berries as desired.
• Slice and enjoy the light, fluffy, and creamy Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake Heaven!

Tips:

• Vegan Option: Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped cream for a vegan-friendly version of this cheesecake.
• Flavor Variations: You can add a layer of fruit (such as fresh strawberry puree or blueberry compote) on top of the cheesecake before refrigerating for a fruity twist.
• Decorating: Add crushed graham crackers, nuts, or drizzle with chocolate or caramel for a beautiful and indulgent topping.

This Marshmallow Whip Cheesecake is a light, fluffy dessert with the perfect amount of sweetness. It’s sure to be a hit at any gathering, leaving everyone asking for the recipe!
