“The Stuff” Marshmallow Cheesecake Recipe

"The Stuff" from 1985 proves that when it comes to horror films, anyone or anything can be a killer...and in this film, it was a food product. Learn how to make my no-bake cheesecake inspired by "The Stuff" – I promise that it won't consume your brain and eat you alive from the inside out!

The Stuff from 1985 proves that anything can be a killer…

When it comes to the killer in horror films, we’ve seen it all – masked maniacs, reanimated corpses, werewolves, and other creatures of the night. But one film really changed the game by making the killer a food item…The Stuff, from 1985.

When a mysterious, marshmallow-y goo is discovered bubbling from the earth, the food industry packages it up, and mass markets it to consumers as The Stuff without even checking to see if it’s safe for consumption. Needless to say, it turns out The Stuff actually consumes the consumer, transforming them into a zombie-like state.

    In a saucepan, combine the marshmallows and milk over low heat, until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

    In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the cream cheese and vanilla just until combined. Then add in the marshmallow mixture and beat for about 3 minutes, just until the mixture is fluffy. Then carefully fold in the whipped topping.

    Evenly divide the mixture into the cups, and allow to chill in the icebox for at least 1 hour. Top with additional whipped topping, if desired.

    Then eat it…before it eats you!
