This delightful Marshmallow Cake is a light, no-bake dessert that offers a refreshing twist on traditional cheesecake. Inspired by a Japanese-style cheesecake, it's perfect for those seeking a sweet yet not overly rich treat. With a creamy filling set atop a graham cracker crust, it's a delightful way to end any meal.
½ (10.5 ounce) package marshmallows
½ cup milk
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 large egg yolk
½ lemon, juiced
1 cup heavy cream
1 (9 inch) prepared graham cracker crust
Melt Marshmallows: In a saucepan over low heat, combine the marshmallows and milk. Stir occasionally until the marshmallows are melted and the mixture begins to boil. Remove from heat.
Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the egg yolk and mix well. Gradually fold in one-third of the melted marshmallow mixture, then quickly fold in the remaining marshmallow mixture until no streaks remain. Stir in the lemon juice.
Whip Heavy Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese-marshmallow mixture until well combined.
Assemble the Cake: Pour the mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it evenly. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the cake to set.
