This unique dessert marries the crispy, sweet texture of a classic Rice Krispie treat with the creamy richness of a cheesecake, creating a dessert that’s both playful and sophisticated.

Ingredients

For the Crust:

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 1/3 cup marshmallow fluff

For the Filling:

  • 4 cups cream cheese, softened

  • 1 cup granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream

For the Topping:

  • 2 cups Rice Krispies cereal

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter

  • 1/2 cup marshmallow fluff

  • Additional marshmallows, for garnish

  • Melted chocolate, for drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and marshmallow fluff. Stir in Rice Krispies until evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the sour cream until fully incorporated.

  3. Bake the Cheesecake:
    Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled Rice Krispie crust. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for about 1 hour, or until the cheesecake is set. Once baked, allow the cheesecake to cool, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

  4. Prepare the Topping:
    Repeat the crust process by melting the butter and marshmallow fluff in a saucepan over low heat, then stirring in the Rice Krispies. Spread this topping evenly over the chilled cheesecake.

  5. Garnish:
    Add additional marshmallows on top and drizzle with melted chocolate for an extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.
