Ingredients

Scale

1 and 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

16 ounces full-fat cream cheese, softened

4 cups mini marshmallows

1 and 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream (divided)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt (optional)


Instructions

1. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the texture resembles wet sand. Press into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan or pie dish. Chill while you prepare the filling.

2. In a saucepan over low heat, combine mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream. Stir until completely melted and smooth. Let cool slightly.

3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

4. Slowly blend the melted marshmallow mixture into the cream cheese. Beat until well combined and creamy.

5. In a separate bowl, whip the remaining heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

6. Gently fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow-cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated but still fluffy.

7. Spread the filling over the prepared crust. Smooth the top. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

8. Serve chilled with optional toppings like berries, chocolate drizzle, or cookie crumbs.


Notes

Let the marshmallow mixture cool slightly before mixing into cream cheese to avoid melting the whipped cream.

For clean slices, dip your knife in hot water and wipe between each cut.

Chill overnight for the firmest set and best flavor development.
