Ingredients
For the Crust & Topping:
6 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Pinch of salt
For the Cheesecake Filling:
16 oz (2 blocks) cream cheese, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cold heavy cream
Instructions
Make the Fruity Pebbles Crust:
In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and quickly stir in Fruity Pebbles cereal and a pinch of salt until evenly coated. Press half of the mixture firmly into a greased or parchment-lined 8×8-inch pan to form the crust. Set the other half aside for topping.Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.Assemble the Cheesecake:
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the Fruity Pebbles crust. Top with the remaining cereal-marshmallow mixture by gently pressing it on top.
Chill to Set:
Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, until fully set. Slice into squares and serve chilled for the best texture.
Notes
Line your pan with parchment for easy removal and clean slices.
Grease your hands lightly when pressing the cereal mixture — it’s sticky!
Make it your own: swap Fruity Pebbles for Cocoa Pebbles, or add a swirl of strawberry jam to the filling.
This cheesecake keeps well in the fridge for up to 5 days and can be frozen in individual slices for up to 1 month.
