Instructions

Step 1: Make the Crust
In a large bowl, mix 3 cups of Fruity Pebbles with granulated sugar.
Add the melted butter and stir until all the cereal is coated.
Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.
Place in the freezer for 10–15 minutes while you prepare the filling.

Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a chilled mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the cold heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Set aside in the refrigerator while you prep the rest of the filling.

Step 3: Make the Cream Cheese Mixture
In another large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Make sure there are no lumps for a silky cheesecake texture.

Step 4: Fold in the Whipped Cream
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
Mix slowly to maintain a light and fluffy texture.

Step 5: Add the Cereal
Stir in 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal into the cheesecake filling.
Fold gently so the cereal is evenly distributed without crushing it too much.

Step 6: Assemble the Cheesecake
Remove the crust from the freezer and pour the filling over the crust.
Smooth the top with a spatula to create an even layer.
Sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles on top for color and crunch.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Once set, carefully release the springform pan.
Decorate the cheesecake with whipped cream swirls, more Fruity Pebbles, and optional cherries or sprinkles.
Slice and serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Use Fresh Cereal – For the crispiest crust and best flavor.
Chill Thoroughly – Give it at least 6 hours in the fridge to set properly.
Fold Gently – To keep the whipped cream light and airy in the filling.
Don’t Overmix the Cereal – Preserve the crunch and color by folding it in just until combined.
Line the Pan – A strip of parchment paper on the sides helps release the cake cleanly.
