Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups whipped topping
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature by letting it sit out for about 30 minutes before starting.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, with no lumps remaining.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the cream cheese, mixing on low speed to prevent sugar from flying out of the bowl.
- Pour in vanilla extract and continue mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Gently fold in the whipped topping using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture. Mix until evenly combined.
- In a separate bowl, prepare the graham cracker crumbs by crushing them into fine, even crumbs if not already prepared.
- Fold in half of the graham cracker crumbs into the cream cheese mixture, reserving the remaining crumbs for topping.
- Add mini marshmallows and chocolate chips to the mixture, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to a serving dish or individual parfait glasses.
- Sprinkle the remaining graham cracker crumbs on top as a garnish.
- Refrigerate the dessert for at least 2 hours to allow it to set and flavors to meld together.
- Before serving, optionally garnish with additional marshmallows and chocolate chips for extra visual appeal.
- Serve chilled and enjoy the delightful, creamy S'mores No Bake Cheesecake Fluff!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure your cream cheese is truly at room temperature to achieve a smooth, lump-free mixture.
- Gentle Folding Technique: When incorporating whipped topping, use a spatula and fold gently to maintain the light, airy texture.
- Chill for Maximum Flavor: While the recipe suggests a 2-hour chill time, letting it sit overnight can enhance the flavor melding.
- Crumb Consistency: For the best texture, crush graham crackers into fine, even crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra-special presentation, serve in clear glasses to showcase the beautiful layers and ingredients.
- Make Ahead: This dessert can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, making it perfect for parties and gatherings.
- Customize: Feel free to experiment with different chocolate types or add a drizzle of chocolate sauce for extra decadence.
