My Kitchen Tips: Always use room temperature cream cheese—it makes all the difference! If you forgot to take it out early, you can soften it quickly by placing the wrapped packages in warm water for 10 minutes.

How to Make No Bake Marshmallow Cream Cheesecake

Step 1: Prepare Your Crust Mix your graham cracker crumbs with melted butter and sugar in a medium bowl. I like to use my hands to really work the butter into every crumb. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. Use the bottom of a measuring cup to create an even, compact layer.

Step 2: Make the Dreamy Filling In a large bowl, beat the room temperature cream cheese with powdered sugar until completely smooth—about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer. Add the marshmallow fluff and vanilla, beating until well combined and fluffy.

Step 3: Whip the Cream In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream starting on low speed, then gradually increasing to high. Watch it carefully—it’ll go from liquid to perfect peaks in about 3-4 minutes. You want stiff peaks that hold their shape.

Step 4: Fold and Fill Gently fold the whipped cream into your cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be gentle here—you want to maintain that airy texture! Spoon the filling into your prepared crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula.

Step 5: Chill and Top Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, make your marshmallow whipped cream by beating 1 cup heavy cream with ¼ cup marshmallow fluff until fluffy. Spread this over your chilled cheesecake and garnish with mini marshmallows and graham cracker crumbs.

My Tips for the Best No Bake Marshmallow Cream Cheesecake

Room temperature ingredients are your best friend—cold cream cheese will create lumps that nobody wants! I always set my cream cheese out 2-3 hours before baking.

When whipping cream, make sure your bowl and beaters are completely clean; even a tiny bit of grease will prevent proper whipping.

Don’t overbeat the final mixture when folding in whipped cream, or you’ll deflate all that beautiful airiness you worked so hard to create!

What if I don’t have marshmallow fluff?

You can substitute with melted mini marshmallows! Heat about 2 cups of mini marshmallows with 2 tablespoons of water in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

Let it cool slightly before adding to your cream cheese mixture.

Why is my cheesecake not setting properly?

The most common culprit is not chilling long enough. This dessert needs at least 4 hours to set properly, but overnight is even better.

Also, make sure your whipped cream was beaten to stiff peaks—under-whipped cream won’t hold the structure.


Can I freeze this cheesecake?

Yes! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. I recommend freezing it without the final marshmallow whipped cream topping—you can add that fresh when you’re ready to serve after thawing in the refrigerator overnight.

Sweet and Simple Ways to Enjoy This Creamy Dessert

It’s perfect alongside fresh berries, especially strawberries that complement the sweet marshmallow flavor beautifully.
