Description
Rice Krispy Treat No-Bake Cheesecake is a fun, easy, and indulgent twist on traditional cheesecake. With a crispy, gooey Rice Krispy treat crust and a creamy cheesecake filling, this dessert is perfect for anyone craving a quick, no-bake treat that’s both crunchy and creamy.
Ingredients
6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
4 cups mini marshmallows
3 tbsp butter
1 ½ cups cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
Fresh fruit or fruit compote for topping (optional)
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove from heat and add the Rice Krispies cereal. Stir until the cereal is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Transfer the Rice Krispies mixture into a greased 9-inch pie dish or springform pan. Press the mixture down firmly to form an even crust. Set aside to cool and harden.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is fluffy and holds stiff peaks.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the cooled Rice Krispies crust, smoothing it into an even layer.
- Chill the cheesecake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set.
- Before serving, top the cheesecake with fresh fruit or fruit compote, if desired.
Notes
For a flavored twist, add lemon zest to the cheesecake filling or a swirl of fruit preserves.
If you prefer a firmer crust, use slightly less marshmallow or press the mixture down more firmly.
This dessert is versatile—try topping it with chocolate ganache or caramel sauce for added sweetness!
