Ingredients

The Fluff Base:

  • 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon mint extract (adjust to taste)
  • 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (e.g., Cool Whip), thawed

The Mix-Ins:

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos, optional)
  • Green food coloring (3–4 drops, or as needed for desired color)

Garnish (Optional):

  • Extra whipped topping
  • Crushed chocolate cookies
  • Green sprinkles
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Base: In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract, mint extract, and green food coloring. Mix until well combined and adjust the color to your liking.
  2. Fold in the Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Add the Mix-Ins: Carefully fold in the mini marshmallows and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (if using). Mix gently to evenly distribute the ingredients.
  4. Garnish and Chill: Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or individual dessert cups. Garnish with extra whipped topping, crushed cookies, green sprinkles, or fresh mint leaves. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours to allow flavors to meld and texture to firm up.

Notes

  • You can substitute Cool Whip with 2 cups of freshly whipped heavy cream for a homemade touch.
  • Feel free to adjust the mint extract for a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have green food coloring, skip it for a more natural version.
  • This dessert is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or frozen for up to 2 weeks (thaw before serving).
