Description

A colorful and playful Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake combining a marshmallow and fruity pebble crust with a creamy, flavored cheesecake filling. This no-bake dessert is perfect for a fun celebration or a sweet treat, chilling in the fridge for 8 hours to set.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 5 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 5 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal

Cheesecake Filling

  • 3 bricks (24 oz) cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon raspberry extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking and for easy removal of the cheesecake.
  2. Make the crust: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mini marshmallows and salted butter. Microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted, stirring to create a smooth mixture.
  3. Add Fruity Pebbles to the crust: Stir in 5 cups of Fruity Pebbles into the melted marshmallow mixture, coating well. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan to form the crust.
  4. Beat cream cheese and sugar: Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese and sugar at medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the bowl sides to ensure even mixing.
  5. Incorporate flavorings and cream: Add the heavy cream, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and raspberry extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until all ingredients are combined smoothly.
  6. Add cornstarch and salt: Mix in cornstarch and salt until fully incorporated, which helps stabilize the cheesecake filling.
  7. Fold in Fruity Pebbles: Remove the bowl from the mixer and gently fold in 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles using a rubber spatula, distributing the cereal evenly without crushing.
  8. Fill the crust: Spoon the cheesecake filling into the crust and smooth the top evenly.
  9. Chill to set: Cover the cheesecake and refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight to allow it to firm up properly.
  10. Serve and garnish: Before serving, top with additional Fruity Pebbles cereal for extra color and crunch if desired.

Notes

  • Press the crust firmly into the pan to prevent it from crumbling when serving.
  • Be gentle when folding in the Fruity Pebbles into the cheesecake filling to keep cereal pieces intact.
  • Let the cheesecake chill at least 8 hours for best results; overnight chilling is ideal.
  • Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy cream for a rich and creamy texture.
  • Make sure to line the pan with parchment to avoid sticking and for easier removal.
