Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the crust:

2 cups vegan graham cracker crumbs

2/3 cup plant-based butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

For the filling:

8 oz vegan cream cheese, softened

1 cup vegan marshmallow cream or vegan marshmallow fluff

1/2 cup soy whip or coconut whip

1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

For the topping:

Extra whipped topping for garnish

Directions

Start by preparing the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the vegan graham cracker crumbs, melted plant-based butter, and granulated sugar. Stir well until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Use the back of a spoon or the bottom of a measuring cup to create a compact and even crust. Place the crust in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to chill and firm up.

While the crust chills, prepare the filling. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened vegan cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer until completely smooth and creamy. This step helps eliminate lumps and creates a silky texture.

Add the vegan marshmallow cream and vanilla extract to the cream cheese. Continue mixing until the ingredients are fully blended and the filling becomes light and fluffy. The marshmallow cream adds sweetness and a soft, airy consistency that gives this cheesecake its signature texture.

Next, gently fold in the soy whip or coconut whip using a spatula. Fold carefully to maintain the lightness of the whipped topping. Continue folding until the mixture is smooth and fully combined without overmixing.

Remove the chilled crust from the refrigerator and spread the filling evenly over the crust. Smooth the top with a spatula for a clean finish.

Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours. For the best texture and flavor, chilling overnight is recommended. The filling will become firm yet creamy once fully set.

Before serving, garnish the cheesecake with extra whipped topping. Slice into wedges and serve chilled for the ultimate creamy dessert experience.

Variations

For a chocolate version, add 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to the filling mixture or drizzle melted dairy-free chocolate over the top before serving.

Create a fruity twist by topping the cheesecake with fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Fruit adds brightness and balances the sweetness beautifully.

For a cookies-and-cream version, fold crushed vegan chocolate sandwich cookies into the filling before chilling.

You can also add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the filling for a subtle tangy flavor that complements the marshmallow sweetness.

If you enjoy nutty flavors, sprinkle toasted chopped almonds or pecans on top before serving for extra crunch.

Storage/Reheating

Store the cheesecake covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keeping it chilled helps maintain the creamy texture and prevents the filling from softening too much.

For longer storage, freeze individual slices in airtight containers for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

This dessert is best served cold, so reheating is not recommended. If frozen, simply allow it to thaw naturally in the refrigerator until soft and creamy again.
