Ingredients

Crust

• 1 ½ cups graham‑cracker crumbs
• 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling

• 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup sour cream
• ⅓ cup honey
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Zest of 1 lemon

Marshmallow Whip

• 1 cup mini marshmallows
• ½ cup heavy cream, chilled
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar

Optional Topping & Sauce

• ½ cup fresh mixed berries
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon honey (for drizzle)

Instructions

Making the Cheesecake Filling

1. Blend the base. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the softened cream cheese on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. This eliminates lumps and creates a silky foundation for the filling.
2. Incorporate wet ingredients. Add sour cream, honey, vanilla, and lemon zest. Mix on low until just combined, then increase to medium for another minute. The lemon zest adds a subtle brightness that lifts the overall flavor.
3. Emulsify the eggs. Crack the eggs into a separate bowl, whisk lightly, then pour a thin stream into the mixer while it runs. This gradual addition prevents curdling and ensures a uniform texture.
4. Transfer to pan. Spoon the batter over the chilled crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Tap the pan lightly on the countertop to release any trapped air bubbles.

Whipping the Marshmallow Topping

5. Heat the marshmallows. Place mini marshmallows in a microwave‑safe bowl, cover loosely, and melt for 20‑30 seconds, stirring halfway. They should be fully liquefied but not browned.
6. Whip the cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and cream of tartar. Beat on high speed until soft peaks form, then slowly drizzle in the melted marshmallows while continuing to whip.
7. Achieve cloud‑like peaks. Continue beating until the mixture holds stiff, glossy peaks. The marshmallow‑infused cream will be light enough to spread but firm enough to hold its shape during baking.
