Description
A delicious no-bake cheesecake featuring a crispy Rice Krispy crust, creamy filling, and optional fun garnishes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1 (10 oz) bag miniature marshmallows
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow crème (e.g., Fluff)
- 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
- Whipped cream (for garnish)
- Cubed Rice Krispy Treats (for garnish)
Instructions
- Generously grease a 9- or 10-inch springform pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the Rice Krispies cereal. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and marshmallows together, stirring constantly until smooth and fully combined. Immediately pour this mixture over the cereal and stir until evenly coated.
- Transfer the sticky cereal mixture into the prepared springform pan. Using a greased glass or spatula, firmly press it into the bottom and slightly up the sides to create a sturdy crust. Let it set at room temperature.
- In a stand mixer or large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy (about 1 minute). Add the marshmallow crème and mix until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the Cool Whip by hand using a spatula.
- Pour the filling into the set crust and smooth the top with an offset spatula or the back of a spoon.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the filling is firm and holds its shape when sliced.
- Before serving, pipe or dollop whipped cream around the edge and top with cubed Rice Krispy Treats for a playful finish. Carefully release the springform collar and slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.
Notes
- Let the cheesecake set in the refrigerator to ensure perfect slicing.
- For the best texture, fold in the Cool Whip gently.
- Customize toppings as desired, such as sprinkles or chocolate chips.
