Instructions
Prepare the Rice Krispie Crust:
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
- Add mini marshmallows, stirring continuously until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat and gently fold in Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan, creating an even crust.
- Set aside to cool while preparing the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
- Add marshmallow fluff and continue folding until evenly incorporated.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake:
- Pour the cheesecake filling over the cooled Rice Krispie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows on top if desired.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the cheesecake to set.
4. Serve & Enjoy:
- Carefully remove the cheesecake from the springform pan.
- Slice and serve chilled.
- Optional: Drizzle with caramel or chocolate sauce before serving.
Notes
- For a softer crust, don’t press the Rice Krispie mixture too firmly into the pan.
- If you can’t find marshmallow fluff, melt additional mini marshmallows with 1 teaspoon of corn syrup as a substitute.
- Allow the cheesecake to fully chill for the best texture.
