Equipment

Ingredients

Crust:

  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 6 cups marshmallows
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 6 cups lucky charms cereal
  • 6 oz white chocolate melted
  • cooking spray

Filling:

  • 600 g cream cheese room temperature
  • 100 g granulated sugar
  • 600 ml whipping cream
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 ¼ tsp powdered gelatin
  • ¼ cup water
  • ¼ cup lucky charms cereal marshmallows only

Instructions

Make the crust:

  • Place the butter and marshmallows in a large bowl and microwave for 30-second increments, until both the butter and marshmallows have melted. Stir at each interval.
  • Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  • Add the lucky charms and mix until they are evenly incorporated into the melted marshmallow.
  • Spray the inside of a 9” round springform pan with cooking spray. Press the cereal treat mixture into the base and sides of the pan. You can use your hands or a flat-bottomed cup to help do this, but be sure to spray them with cooking spray first so that they don’t stick!
  • Place the pan in the fridge to stiffen for 20 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to evenly spread the melted white chocolate onto the bottom and sides of the crust. This will act as a barrier between the crust and the filling, preventing the crust from getting soggy. Return this to the fridge while you make the filling.

Make the filling:

  • Place the cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.
  • Add the whipping cream, lemon juice and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
  • Combine the gelatin and the water in a small bowl and let the gelatin bloom for about 5 minutes. Then place the bowl in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds, until the gelatin is liquid. Pour this into the cheesecake mixture and mix until fully combined.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth the surface. Chill the cake in the fridge for about 6 hours or up to overnight.

To serve:

  • Unlatch the sides of the springform pan and gently lift the sides off the cake.
  • Right before serving, scatter the extra lucky charms marshmallows on top of the cheesecake. The moisture of the cheesecake filling will soften the marshmallows and potentially make the color bleed onto the cake, so make sure you do this step immediately before serving!
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the cake into slices and enjoy!
