Description

This No-Bake Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake is a vibrant, fun dessert combining the colorful crunch of Fruity Pebbles cereal with a creamy, fluffy cheesecake filling, all set atop a sweet and chewy marshmallow crust. Perfect for a quick and easy treat that requires no baking, blending nostalgic cereal flavors with a classic cheesecake texture.


Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 3 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 7 oz marshmallow creme
  • 1 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal, lightly chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the Fruity Pebbles cereal, mini marshmallows, and unsalted butter. Microwave uncovered on high for 2-3 minutes, watching as the marshmallows puff up and soften.
  2. Mix and press crust: Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the ingredients vigorously until the cereal is fully coated with the melted marshmallows and butter. Immediately transfer this mixture to a lightly sprayed or buttered pie plate, pressing it evenly into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust. Set aside to firm.
  3. Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Fold in the marshmallow creme until fully incorporated and the mixture is fluffy.
  4. Incorporate cereal into filling: Using a spatula, gently stir the lightly chopped Fruity Pebbles into the cheesecake filling to evenly distribute them without crushing the cereal.
  5. Assemble and chill: Pour the filling over the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake for at least 1-2 hours to allow it to firm up. Alternatively, you can place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes for a quicker set.
  6. Garnish and serve: Before serving, sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles cereal or colorful sprinkles on top for an extra pop of color and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for a smooth filling.
  • Microwave times may vary; watch marshmallows carefully to avoid burning.
  • The cheesecake can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a firmer cheesecake texture, chill overnight.
  • Optional: add a drizzle of white chocolate or a layer of whipped cream on top for extra indulgence.
