Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup marshmallow creme
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
Supporting Ingredients:
- 8 oz whipped topping
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter
Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Whipped topping (optional)
- Crushed graham crackers (optional)
- Mini marshmallows (optional)
- Fresh berries (optional)
Instructions
- Crush 112 cups graham cracker crumbs with 14 cup sugar and 12 cup melted butter until perfectly combined. Press the mixture firmly into an 88 or 99 inch baking dish, creating an even layer that reaches all corners.
- Grab your electric mixer and beat 8 oz softened cream cheese until silky smooth. Add 1 cup marshmallow creme and 1 tsp vanilla extract, mixing until the texture becomes completely creamy with zero lumps.
- Take 8 oz thawed whipped topping and fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Move in light, sweeping motions to maintain the airy texture without deflating the mixture.
- Transfer the entire filling onto your prepared crust, using an offset spatula to spread the mixture evenly and create a perfectly flat surface.
- If desired, decorate the top with additional whipped topping, crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, or fresh berries for extra visual appeal.
- Seal the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours at 40°F (4°C). The cheesecake needs time to set completely and develop its rich, creamy consistency.
- Remove from refrigerator, slice into clean squares, and serve chilled for maximum flavor and texture.
Notes
- Crust matters, so press graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly to create a solid base that won’t crumble when serving.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth blending without lumps, which can disrupt the silky texture.
- Fold whipped topping gently to maintain the light, airy consistency – aggressive mixing will deflate the volume and make the dessert dense.
- For dietary adaptations, use gluten-free graham crackers or swap in a nut-based crust, and choose dairy-free cream cheese and whipped topping alternatives.
