For the Topping (optional)
-
¼ cup mini marshmallows
-
2 tbsp melted chocolate (drizzle)
-
Extra crushed Rice Krispies for garnish
Instructions
1. Make the Crispy Base
-
Grease a 9-inch springform pan lightly with butter or nonstick spray.
-
In a large pot, melt butter over low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth.
-
Remove from heat. Add the crispy rice cereal and a pinch of salt. Stir until evenly coated.
-
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Use a greased spatula or wax paper to avoid sticking.
-
Let cool completely at room temperature while you make the filling.
2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
-
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and lump‑free.
-
In a separate cold bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until just combined. Do not overmix.
3. Assemble
-
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the cooled Rice Krispie base.
-
Smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until firm. Overnight is best.
4. Decorate (optional)
-
Before serving, sprinkle mini marshmallows on top and lightly toast them with a kitchen torch (or skip toasting).
-
Drizzle with melted chocolate and sprinkle with crushed Rice Krispies.
