Can I make this cheesecake ahead of time?<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Yes, this is a great make-ahead dessert. In fact, the cheesecake needs to chill overnight to be fully set so you can slice it.\u00a0
Don’t make it more than a day or two ahead\u2014if you wait much longer, the crust will get soggy and it won’t be as pleasant to eat.<\/p> <\/div>
\u2753 Can I substitute marshmallow fluff?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> We use the marshmallow ice cream topping from Smucker\u2019s. We did test this with marshmallow fluff, but it messed with the texture of the cheesecake, so we recommend the marshmallow ice cream topping.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>
\u2753Do I need to bake the graham cracker crust?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> No! The great thing about making a cheesecake in the pressure cooker is that you don\u2019t have to bake anything. Freezing the crust helps firm it up before “baking” in the pressure cooker.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div>
\u2753 How should I store leftover cheesecake?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> Store leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic in the fridge for up to four days.\u00a0Cheesecake also freezes really well if you slice and place on a cookie sheet in the freezer, then wrap tightly in plastic wrap and seal in a freezer-safe zip-top bag. <\/p> <\/div>
\u2753 How did you toast the mini marshmallows on the topping?\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> To make the toasted mini marshmallows, it\u2019s easiest to use a cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e torch and toast them after you top the cheesecake. However, I don\u2019t have one! So I simply broiled our marshmallows in our oven.
\u00a0
To do it, I put a piece of parchment paper down on a cookie sheet and arranged the marshmallows in a 6-ish inch circle, then put them under our toaster oven broiler. As soon as the marshmallows are golden, remove them from the oven.
Also, be sure to transfer them to the top of the cheesecake right away. If you wait more than a minute or two, they start to stick to the parchment and are a nightmare to get off.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n
