Bake Cheesecake

Rice Krispy Treat No-Bake Cheesecake 

 Introduction

Imagine combining two childhood favorites — gooey Rice Krispy Treats and rich, creamy cheesecake — into one decadent no-bake dessert. The result is a dreamy Rice Krispy Treat No-Bake Cheesecake that’s crunchy, creamy, and irresistibly fun.
Perfect for parties, birthdays, or whenever you crave something sweet without turning on the oven. Every bite delivers the perfect contrast of crispy, marshmallowy crust and velvety cheesecake filling.

 Ingredients

For the Crust:

• 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
• ¼ cup salted butter
• 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows

For the Filling:

• 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 (7 oz) jar marshmallow crème (Fluff)
• 1 (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed

For Garnish (optional):

• Whipped cream (homemade or canned)
• Cubed Rice Krispy Treats

 Directions

1. Prep the Pan

Grease a 9- or 10-inch springform pan with nonstick spray or butter. You can also line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal later.

2. Make the Crust

1. Place the Rice Krispies cereal in a large bowl.
2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows, stirring constantly until completely melted and smooth.
3. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and stir until all the cereal is evenly coated.
4. Transfer the sticky mixture into the prepared pan. Using a greased cup or spatula, firmly press it down into an even crust that goes slightly up the sides.
5. Let it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes to set.

3. Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla together for about 1 minute until smooth and creamy.
2. Add the marshmallow crème and mix until fully blended.
3. Gently fold in the Cool Whip with a spatula. Do not overmix — this keeps the filling light and airy.

4. Assemble the Cheesecake

• Pour the cheesecake filling into the prepared Rice Krispy crust.
• Smooth the top using a spatula or the back of a spoon.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (4 hours for best results) until firm and set.

5. Garnish and Serve

When ready to serve:

• Pipe or dollop whipped cream around the edges.
• Top with Rice Krispy Treat cubes for a fun, playful finish.
• Carefully release the springform collar and slice with a warm knife for clean cuts.

Expert Tips for the Best Result

• Use fresh marshmallows — old ones make the crust stiff and hard to shape.
• For extra flavor, sprinkle a little sea salt on the crust before adding the filling.
• Add a drizzle of caramel or melted white chocolate for a beautiful presentation.
• Keep refrigerated until serving. It stays fresh for up to 3 days.

 Serving Idea

Serve each slice on a dessert plate with a drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce and a small Rice Krispy cube on top — it looks like a café-style dessert!
