Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Filling Ingredients
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 7 oz tub marshmallow creme
- 1 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal, lightly chopped
Instructions
- Make the crust: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the Fruity Pebbles cereal, mini marshmallows, and unsalted butter. Microwave uncovered on high for 2-3 minutes until the marshmallows puff up and soften.
- Mix and form crust: Remove from microwave and stir well to coat all the cereal in the melted marshmallows and butter. Transfer the sticky mixture into a lightly sprayed or buttered pie plate, pressing it firmly into the bottom and up the sides to create an even crust. Set aside to firm.
- Prepare cheesecake filling: In a large bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth. Add the marshmallow creme and mix well to combine.
- Add cereal to filling: Gently fold in the 1 ½ cups of lightly chopped Fruity Pebbles cereal until evenly distributed throughout the cheesecake filling.
- Assemble cheesecake: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula to create an even layer. Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours to set, or for a quicker option, freeze for about 30 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Before serving, optionally sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles cereal or colorful sprinkles on top for added flair and crunch.
Notes
- Use a microwave-safe bowl and monitor closely when melting marshmallows to prevent burning.
- For best texture, press the crust firmly and chill the cheesecake well to ensure it holds together when sliced.
- You can swap Fruity Pebbles with other colorful puffed cereals if desired.
- Marshmallow creme adds additional sweetness and fluffiness in the filling—do not skip if possible.
- This cheesecake is best served chilled but should be brought to room temperature for a few minutes before slicing to enhance creaminess.
