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.

What is with your obsession to use cool whip in recipes? A sponsor maybe?
It’s basically highly processed vegetable oil with lots of chemicals added.
Can’t you simply use cream?
Cath-
Hello there. Well, I definitely don’t think I am “”obsessed” with Cool Whip, but I do use it from time to time here on my blog. And they are most definitely not a sponsor. I clearly disclose sponsorships at the top of brand posts. You can also use Truwhip, or freshly whipped cream as long as it is stabilized. Have a great day.

Can I sustitute real whipping cream instead of cool whip?
Or can I leave out the whip all together?
Rebecca-
Hello! You definitely can’t leave it out, but you can sub in freshly whipped cream, you’ll just need to stabilize it first.
-Jamie
Hi there your strawberry cheese cake fluff is looking absolutely gorgeous what can I use instead of the frozen cream whip I have not seen this in our store freezers here in South Africa Cape Town
Sadia-
You can use regular whipped cream, but you would need to stabilize it first. I hope this helps.
-Jamie
What’s the difference in using regular mini marshmallows vs the campfire mine marshmallows? I can’t find campfire mini’s, just the gaint campfire marshmallows.
Jodi-
Campfire is the name brand, if you can’t those in your area, feel free to substitute them with store brand minis. Thanks so much for stopping by.
-Jamie
This looks GREAT can’t wait to try it. It reminds me of a pie my Mother used to make. The ingredients are just about the same. That pie was the best and now This even looks better @ takes less time to make.
Oooh, I never thought of making this into a pie, but now I feel like I have to try it! Thanks so much for sopping by, Theresa!
-Jamie
I think this recipe sounds great. But… wondering if it would be good and still fluffy without the marshmallows?
Glenn-
You can skip the marshmallows if you need to. It won’t be as “fluffy,” but it’s still delicious! Thanks so much for stopping by!
-Jamie
What would be a good substitute for the whipped topping? Would regular whipped cream work? Thanks
Kate-
You can use real whipped cream, you would just need to stabilize it before adding it into the mixture. I hope this helps.
-Jamie
Recipe sounds good n easy.
Thanks so much, Pat! I appreciate you stopping by!
-Jamie
Could you use something like splenda in placement of powder sugar to sweeten this with? I’d love to make this, but my husband is diabetic. It looks so delicious….especially in the summer. Patty
Patty-
I think you definitely could, but I would recommend using the powdered blend relacement such as Swerve. If you use the granulated replacement, I am afraid it will be grainy. I hope this helps.
-Jamie
Can you freeze these?
Corinne-
Hello! I haven’t tried freezing this, so I am not sure of the results. Thanks for stopping by!
