Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (150g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces (450g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
  • ¾ cup (90g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups Lucky Charms cereal
  • ½ cup (120g) marshmallow fluff or marshmallow creme
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Stir until mixture resembles wet sand and holds together when pressed. Press evenly into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in fridge.
  2. Whip the cream: In a large bowl, whip cold heavy cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Avoid overwhipping.
  3. Beat the cream cheese: In another bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine cream and cream cheese: Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture using a spatula, keeping mixture light and airy.
  5. Fold in Lucky Charms: Gently fold cereal into filling to distribute without crushing marshmallows.
  6. Make marshmallow swirl: Mix marshmallow fluff with milk until spreadable. Swirl gently into cheesecake filling with a knife or spatula to create ribbons.
  7. Assemble and chill: Pour filling over chilled crust, smooth top, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight until firm.
  8. Serve: Run a thin knife around pan edge before releasing springform. Slice with a sharp knife cleaned between cuts.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese to avoid lumps. Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for fluffier texture. Fold cereal and marshmallow swirl gently to maintain texture. Chill cheesecake at least 4 hours for best slicing. Wipe knife with hot towel between cuts for clean slices. For dairy-free or gluten-free options, see substitutions in recipe.
