Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Fluff

  • 1 (8oz) (226g) package cream cheese, softened
  • Zest and juice from 1 lime
  • 1 cup (235ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ¾ cup (75g) powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (50g) miniature marshmallows
  • 45 drops green food coloring (optional)

Graham Cracker Topping

  • ½ cup (50g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese together with the lime zest and lime juice until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps for the best texture.
  2. Make Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks begin to form, which means the cream will hold its shape when the beaters are lifted.
  3. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the cream cheese mixture, miniature marshmallows, and green food coloring (if using) into the whipped cream. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is well combined and has a light green color, indicating the lime flavor is evenly distributed.
  4. Prepare Graham Cracker Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until the crumbs are evenly coated and hold together like a crumbly topping.
  5. Assemble and Serve: Spoon the lime cheesecake fluff into serving dishes and sprinkle the graham cracker topping evenly over each. Serve immediately for a fresh and fluffy dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime zest and juice for the best flavor and brightness in the dessert.
  • Green food coloring is optional and used just to enhance the visual appeal of the lime-flavored fluff.
  • For a firmer texture, you can refrigerate the fluff for 30 minutes before serving.
  • Miniature marshmallows add a delightful light texture but can be omitted if preferred.
  • This recipe is best served chilled but not frozen to maintain the fluffy texture.
