- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until set.

- In a separate bowl, combine the marshmallow fluff and whipped heavy cream, folding together until fluffy and well combined.
- Once the cheesecake has set, spread the marshmallow topping over the cheesecake in a smooth layer.

- Chill the cheesecake for another 1–2 hours before serving for best results.
