Rice Krispy Treat No Bake Cheesecake
Today, I’m coming at ya with this AMAZING Rice Krispy Treat No Bake Cheesecake. And it’s a doozy!
So. I’m struggling.
Summertime’s in full swing in Sacramento and to call it ‘sweltering’ would be an understatement. Girl, it’s HOT here. Like denim shorts fusing to your skin hot. Like sweating profusely on a morning walk hot. Like if you turn on the oven I’m going to scream at you hot.
So no bake treats? We need them desperately.
I’m on a mission to create as many no-bake treats as I can this summer to avoid turning on my oven as much as possible. Of course I’m still going to bake traditional goodies like cookies, regular cheesecakes and cupcakes, but I want to save those for days when I’m feeling ambitious and somewhat sadistic.
Thus, this wonderful No-Bake Cheesecake was born!
Ingredients
FOR CRUST:
- 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
- ¼ cup salted butter
- 1 pkg miniature marshmallows
FOR FILLING:
- 1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow creme/fluff
- 1 (8 oz) pkg Cool Whip, thawed
FOR GARNISH:
- Whipped cream
- Cubed & prepared Rice Krispy Treat Squares (I used the ones from the box)
Directions
- Liberally grease a 9″ or 10″ springform pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, add in the Rice Krispies cereal. Set aside momentarily. In a medium saucepan, melt the salted butter and marshmallows together over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
- Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and toss until totally combined. Pour the cereal into the prepared pan and, using a greased glass cup, press the cereal mixture into the pan, forming a base and sides. Put aside to set, about 20 minutes.
- While crust sets, make your filling. In a large bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the marshmallow creme until smooth. Lastly, fold in the Cool Whip by hand until combined.
