Ingredients
Scale
Crust Ingredients
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal
- 1/2 cup melted Butter
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Flour
Cheesecake Layer Ingredients
- 16 oz Cream Cheese
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, sugar, and flour until well mixed. Stir in the Fruity Pebbles cereal until evenly coated. Press this mixture into the bottom of a greased baking dish to form the crust.
- Make the Cheesecake Layer: In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add sugar, vanilla extract, and eggs, mixing until combined and creamy. Pour this cheesecake mixture over the crust, spreading it evenly.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the cheesecake layer is set and the edges are lightly golden. Keep an eye on it to avoid overbaking.
- Cool and Cut: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool completely to room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least two hours before slicing into bars.
Notes
- Ensure all dairy ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- When combining the cheesecake ingredients, mix just until combined to maintain a light texture.
- Chilling the bars makes cutting easier and helps them hold their shape.
- For clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it between slices.
- Don’t hesitate to mix in your favorite candies for added texture and taste.
