Toasted Marshmallow No Bake Cheesecake

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crust:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, granulated sugar, and melted butter until the crumbs are evenly coated.
  • Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan to form an even crust.
  • Refrigerate the crust while you prepare the filling to allow it to firm up.

2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using an electric mixer. Be careful not to overwhip.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fully incorporated.
  • Add the marshmallow fluff (or marshmallow creme) and fold it into the cheesecake mixture until evenly combined. The fluff adds a lovely marshmallow flavor to the filling.

3. Assemble the Cheesecake:

  • Pour the cheesecake mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Cover the cheesecake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let it set.

4. Toast the Marshmallows:

  • Preheat your broiler to high or use a kitchen torch.
  • Spread the mini marshmallows evenly over the top of the chilled cheesecake.
  • Place the cheesecake under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, watching closely, until the marshmallows turn golden brown and toasted. If using a kitchen torch, carefully toast the marshmallows to your desired level of golden and crispy.

5. Serve:

  • Once the marshmallows are toasted, remove the cheesecake from the refrigerator.
  • Optionally, drizzle with chocolate sauce or caramel for an extra touch of sweetness.
  • Slice and enjoy this decadent toasted marshmallow no-bake cheesecake!
