Ingredients

  • Crust:
  • A generous amount of unsalted butter
  • A delightful portion of marshmallows
  • A bountiful supply of fruit-flavored breakfast cereal (like Post® Fruity Pebbles®)
  • Filling:
  • Two packages of softened cream cheese, each weighing 8 ounces
  • A portion of powdered sugar for sweetness
  • A plentiful amount of fruit-flavored breakfast cereal (like Post® Fruity Pebbles®), split into two portions
  • A modest quantity of hot water
  • A single packet of unflavored gelatin, weighing .25 ounces

Step 1

Begin by melting the butter in a pot on medium-low heat, allowing it to transform into a luscious liquid. Toss in the marshmallows and patiently watch them dissolve into a gooey concoction, typically taking around 5 minutes. Next, introduce the cereal into the mix, ensuring a thorough integration of flavors.

Step 2

Press the resulting blend into a 9-inch pie pan, where it will eagerly await its turn to chill in the refrigerator for a rejuvenating 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the base sets, embark on the cream cheese journey in a bowl, utilizing the power of an electric stand mixer to whip it into a velvety consistency. Gradually introduce the powdered sugar, maintaining the rhythmic beating motion, then stir in a cup of cereal for added texture. In a separate bowl, blend hot water with gelatin until a harmonious marriage is achieved. Blend this gelatin concoction into the cream cheese medley, seamlessly mixing until a silky, creamy texture is attained.

Step 4

Liberate the chilled crust from the refrigerator and generously pour the cream cheese creation over it, allowing it to set and mature for a minimum of 2 hours.

Step 5

In a playful twist, crush the remaining cereal with finesse and bestow it upon the cheesecake as a delightful topping, adding a final touch of crunch and whimsy.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  2. 2. Cover and Seal : Always cover your cheesecake with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid to prevent it from absorbing any unwanted flavors.
