Today, I’m coming at ya with this AMAZING Rice Krispy Treat No Bake Cheesecake. And it’s a doozy!
So. I’m struggling.
Summertime’s in full swing in Sacramento and to call it ‘sweltering’ would be an understatement. Girl, it’s HOT here. Like denim shorts fusing to your hot skin. Like sweating profusely on a hot morning walk. Like if you turn on the oven I’m going to scream at you hot.
So no bake treats? We need them desperately.
I’m on a mission to create as many no-bake treats as I can this summer to avoid turning on my oven as much as possible. Of course I’m still going to bake traditional goodies like cookies, regular cheesecakes and cupcakes, but I want to save those for days when I’m feeling ambitious and somewhat sadistic.
- Thus, this wonderful No-Bake Cheesecake was Born!

FOR CRUST: 6 cups Rice Krispies cereal 1/4 cup salted butter 1 (10 oz pkg) miniature marshmallows FOR FILLING: 1 (8 oz pkg) cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 (7 oz jar) marshmallow creme/fluff 1 (8 oz pkg) Cool Whip, thawed FOR GARNISH: Whipped cream Cubed & prepared Rice Krispy Treat Squares I used the ones from the b
Instructio
Liberally grease a 9″ or 10″ springform pan with cooking spray. Set aside. In a large bowl, add in the Rice Krispies cereal. Set aside momentarily. In a medium saucepan, melt the salted butter and marshmallows together over low heat, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the cereal and toss until completely combined. Pour the cereal into the prepared pan and, using a greased glass cup, press the cereal mixture into the pan, forming a base and sides. Put aside to set, about 20 minutes. While crust sets, make your filling. In a large bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the marshmallow creme until smooth. Lastly, fold in the Cool Whip by hand until combined. Spread the filling mixture into the crust, smoothing out the top. Garnish with whipped cream piped along the perimeter of the cheesecake and top with stacked prepared & cubed Rice Krispy Treats in the center. Chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge before cutting into slice
