Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Make the Crust
In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar (if using) until it looks like wet sand.
Press firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan (or pie dish). Chill while you make the filling.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a cold mixing bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
Step 3: Mix the Cheesecake Base
In a separate large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy (about 1–2 minutes).
Add marshmallow whip, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Beat until creamy and fully combined.
Step 4: Fold to Make it Cloud-Soft
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in 2–3 additions.
Fold slowly to keep the filling light and airy.
Step 5: Chill
Spread the filling over the crust and smooth the top.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (overnight is best) until set.
Step 6: Serve
Release from the springform pan, add toppings, slice, and enjoy your fluffy cheesecake heaven.
