For the Graham Cracker Crust:
- 1½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 7 oz marshmallow fluff (1 jar)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Optional Toppings:
- Fresh berries
- Chocolate shavings
- Toasted nuts
- Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter. Mix thoroughly until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
- Form the crust: Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. Place the crust in the refrigerator to chill while preparing the filling.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add marshmallow fluff and vanilla: Blend in the marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, beating until well incorporated and smooth.
- Fold in whipped topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined, creating a light and airy texture.
- Assemble the cheesecake: Spread the filling evenly over the chilled graham cracker crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Chill the cheesecake: Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or until firm and set.
- Add optional toppings: Before serving, garnish with fresh berries, chocolate shavings, or toasted nuts as desired to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Serve: Slice and enjoy this creamy, fluffy cheesecake chilled for a refreshing dessert experience.
Notes
- For a firmer crust, you can bake the graham cracker crust at 350°F (175°C) for 8 minutes before filling, then cool completely before adding the filling.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Use an electric mixer for the creamiest filling texture.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Feel free to customize toppings to your liking, such as a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce.
