Strawberry Cheesecake Fluff comes together in less than 10 minutes and is the perfect dessert, or side dish for any occasion.
This recipe is sponsored by Campfire® Marshmallows, but all thoughts are my own. Thank you for continuing to support the brands that make My Baking Addiction possible.
The weather in Ohio has had me all kinds of confused. The calendar has me craving things like lemon lime cupcakes and this strawberry cream cheese tart, but the weather has been calling for pumpkin bread and caramel apple blondies.
I mean, it is May 1st today, so I’m hopeful that snow flurries and cold snaps are officially going to be a thing of the past.
Last week when it was snowing, Elle came downstairs and proclaimed that Mother Nature had a brain fart, yes, sweet babe, yes she did.
Fortunately for us, we were able to escape the dreary, cold Ohio weather for the gorgeous weather of the Sunshine State.
And let me just tell you, it was in the nick of time because we were all starting to go a little stir-crazy.
Just before we left for Florida, we celebrated my Dad’s 60th birthday complete with a menu of his absolute favorites: steak, mashed potatoes with loads of gravy and chocolate cake.
Confession though. I didn’t actually make the chocolate cake, I bought it from Costco because I needed to pack, and frosting a cake just wasn’t happening.
However, I did make this strawberry cheesecake fluff. And in my opinion, it was just as good as the chocolate cake, BUT you guys know I love cheesecake anything. So I might be just a tad biased.
If you’ve been following My Baking Addiction for any length of time, you’re probably well aware of the fact that I’m a big fan of fluff too.
From cranberry fluff and ambrosia to orange fluff to pineapple fluff, fluffy desserts are one of my favorites.
One of the main reasons I love to make fluffy dessert salads like this strawberry cheesecake fluff is because they’re so simple to throw together for a quick weeknight dessert, a barbecue, or a birthday party and they are always a huge hit.
Plus they don’t require a bunch of ingredients. All you’ll need is cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, whipped topping, strawberries, graham crackers and Campfire® Mini White Marshmallows. Because fluff just isn’t fluff without marshmallows.
I’ve teamed up with Emily from Jelly Toast and Campfire® Marshmallows to create some amazing marshmallow recipes. We’ve got tons of delicious dishes and desserts from the past couple of years, and so much more to come.
We even created a Marshmallow Madness Pinterest board where we’ve pinned loads of delicious ooey-gooey marshmallow recipes.
Just like this strawberry cheesecake fluff, this Nutella s’mores fudge and this s’mores snack mix.
Seriously, whip up this strawberry cheesecake fluff for any occasion and I promise you it will be one of the first things to disappear.
And if you happen to have a little leftover, eat it for breakfast with a bit of granola.
You can thank me later.

Your recipe doesn’t say what to do with the crushed Graham crsckers
Kathy-
Hello! In step 5 it tells you to top the fluff with the crushed graham crackers just before serving. I hope this helps!

Can I use real whipped cream in this recipe?
Lorraine-
You can, but you would need to stabilize it in order for it to maintain a thick consistency. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
-Jamie
Can I double the recipe? I want to make it for a good sized crowd :)
Yes, Suzzanne! It totally doubles with ease! :)
-Jamie
If you added blueberries, you’d have a red, white and blue dessert! Perfect for Memorial Day, Flag Day and Independence Day! Now I HAVE to make this!
So perfect, right? Thanks so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
-Jamie
Do the marshmallows kinda dissolve and get mooshy in this? Or stay whole marshmallows? Thank you, looks divine!
Sarah-
They stay whole and do not dissolve. They are a little bit smooshier than a regular mini marshmallow straight out of the bag though. I hope this helps.
-Jamie
what could you use instead of the whipped topping?
Kerry-
You could use homemade whipped cream, you would just need to stabilize it first as plain whipped cream doesn’t hold up well in this recipe. I hope this helps.
-Jamie
Will make this soon!
Yay! I hope you love it as much as we do, Susan!
I have a niece who is allergic to cream cheese, is there anything to substitute that will have the same flavor or texture?
Hello! I really can’t think of a substitute for cream cheese that would work well here. Thanks for stopping by!

@Sanfro,
What about straining Greek yogurt until it is the consistency of cream cheese? I’ve accidently left my homemade yogurt in the fridge overnight while straining and it was almost as thick as cream cheese in the morning. Perhaps strain some cottage cheese and mix that with it too, unless you want to avoid lumps.
