Equipment

  • 1 9-inch springform pan
  • 2 mixing bowls
  • 1 electric mixer
  • 1 saucepan
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows For crust and topping.
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 16 ounces cream cheese Softened.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease the springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
  • In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  • Remove the pan from heat and mix in the Rice Krispies cereal until well-coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared springform pan to form the crust. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until creamy.
  • Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, until fully incorporated.
  • Pour the cheesecake batter over the cooled Rice Krispie crust in the springform pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center is slightly jiggly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until fully set.
  • Before serving, sprinkle the top with mini marshmallows. In a small saucepan, melt chocolate chips with vegetable oil over low heat, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cheesecake and marshmallows.

Notes

For a more pronounced Rice Krispie flavor, consider adding some crushed Rice Krispies to the cheesecake batter.
This cheesecake can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
