Hint: Make sure to softened the cream cheese before so it makes a smooth consistency when mixed. Let it sit out on the counter for 30 minutes prior to making the cheese cake.

Substitutions

Rice Krispies - instead of fruity pebbles, use regular rice Krispies for the crust.
Cocoa Pebbles - want a chocolatey taste? Substitute the fruity pebbles with chocolate cocoa pebbles to go from fruity to chocolate fun.
Marshmallow Jet Puff - I love the taste that the cool whip gives this no bake cheese cake, but for you marshmallow lovers, a 7 ounce container of Jet Puff can be substituted out for the cool whip for a fun a more marshmallow taste.

Variations

Whipping Cream - Add some extra whipping cream to top of this no-bake dessert.

Equipment

To make this no-bake dessert you will need:

9 inch pie pan
Large mixing bowl
Hand mixer
Rubber Scraper
Parchment paper or wax paper

Storage

Store leftover cheesecake in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. The fruity pebbles throughout the cake will lose their crispy texture after being in the refrigerator. The cheesecake will style taste great despite the softer texture.

You can freeze this no-bake dessert for up to a month. Serve frozen or thaw in the refrigerator. Be aware that there may be texture changes to the fruity pebbles.

Top tip

This dessert is best served day it was made for the best texture. Make sure to softened the cream cheese at least 30 minutes prior to mixing to ensure the a creamy consistency while mixing together.
