Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
  • 8 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 16 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3/4 cup Marshmallow Fluff
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Whipped cream or Cool Whip (optional)
  • Drizzled white or milk chocolate (optional)
  • Mini marshmallows or Rice Krispies clusters (optional)

Equipment

  • large saucepan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Spatula
  • 9-inch springform pan
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Melt butter over medium heat, then add marshmallows and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies cereal. Reserve 3 cups of mixture for topping. Press the remaining mixture into a springform pan and chill in the refrigerator.
  2. Whip chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form; set aside. Beat cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar until smooth. Add Marshmallow Fluff and vanilla extract, mixing until silky. Gently fold whipped cream into the mixture.
  3. Pour filling into the chilled crust and smooth the top. Use the reserved Rice Krispies mixture to form clusters and decorate the top.
  4. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Release cheesecake from springform pan and slice carefully. Garnish with chocolate drizzle, whipped cream, or extra mini marshmallows if desired.

Notes

  • Reserve part of the Rice Krispies crust for decorative clusters.
  • Fold whipped cream gently to maintain airiness.
  • Chill fully before slicing for clean, neat pieces.
  • Customize toppings to fit festive or seasonal themes.
