1cupheavy whipping cream*for convenience use 1 container of cool whip instead
1teaspoonvanilla
½cuppowdered sugar
1cupfruity pebbles
Crust
2Tablespoonsunsalted Butter
1 ½cupsMini Marshmallows
2 ½cupsFruity Pebbles
Instructions
Fruity Pebbles Crust
Prepare a 9 inch pie pan and parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the mini marshmallows and stir until just melted. Add in the fruity pebbles and mix. This will be sticky! This is the same process as making Rice Krispy treats.
Immediately transfer the marshmallow and fruity pebble mixture into the 9 inch pie pan. The mixture sets quickly making it difficult to spread if you wait too long. With the parchment paper, smash down the fruity pebbles to make a crust. The parchment paper will help the mixture to not stick to your hands. Make sure to press down hard so the fruity pebble marshmallow mixture compresses.
Set aside and prepare the filling.
Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, add softened cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Mix with an electric hand mixer until smooth.
In a separate bowl whip the heavy cream with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold and gently mix the cream cheese mixture with the whipped heavy cream until smooth. *see notes if using cool whip instead! See photos above to check the texture.
Gently fold in fruity pebbles. Mix until the fruity pebbles are throughout the cream cheese mixture.
Scoop the cheesecake filling into the prepare fruity pebble pie crust.
With a rubber scrapper, smooth the mixture evenly in the pie crust. Top with additional fruity pebbles. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
Use a container of cool whip instead of heavy whipping cream. Use half the powdered sugar to make it less sweet!
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.
