Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Beat cream cheese, Marshmallow Fluff, and flour until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, just until mixed.
- Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
- Bake for 45 minutes, until edges start to brown.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool for one hour with the door cracked open.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
- Top with fruit, berries, whipped cream, or your favorite toppings.
Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother cheesecake, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing. If you're out of Marshmallow Fluff, you can replace it with an equal amount of sweetened condensed milk for a similar sweetness and texture. Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance the flavor. If you prefer a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Lynne's Cheesecake chilled, topped with fresh fruit or a dollop of whipped cream for added flair. It pairs beautifully with a cup of coffee or tea. For a delightful contrast, consider serving alongside a light salad, such as a refreshing Velvet Salad Dressing, to balance the sweetness of the cheesecake.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover cheesecake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To maintain its texture, avoid freezing the cheesecake, as it may alter the creamy consistency. If you need to reheat, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of crust?
Yes, you can use a graham cracker crust or a chocolate cookie crust for a different flavor profile. Just ensure the crust is pre-baked if required, as this will enhance its texture and prevent sogginess.
What if I don't have eggs?
If you're looking to make this cheesecake egg-free, you can substitute each egg with 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce or 1/4 cup of silken tofu blended until smooth. This will maintain the creaminess of the cheesecake while keeping it cohesive.
How can I tell when the cheesecake is done baking?
The cheesecake is done when the edges are set and slightly browned, but the center should still have a slight jiggle. Turning off the oven and letting it cool with the door cracked helps prevent cracking and ensures a creamy texture.
