Ingredients
- Graham cracker crumbs: 1 1/2 cups
- Melted butter: 1/4 cup
- Cream cheese, softened: 24 ounces
- Granulated sugar: 1 cup
- Large eggs: 3
- Marshmallow creme: 1 cup
- Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the marshmallow creme and vanilla extract.
- Step 3: Pour the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker crust.
- Step 4: Bake in preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set.
- Step 5: Let cool completely before refrigerating for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Notes
- For best results, chill the cheesecake overnight to allow the flavors to fully meld and the texture to set perfectly.
- If you want to warm a slice, microwave it in 10-second intervals to prevent the marshmallow from melting too much.
- Garnish with fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra touch of elegance when serving.
- Don't overbake the cheesecake; a slight wobble in the center indicates it's done and will set perfectly as it cools.
