Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 5 tablespoons melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 oz (450 g) cream cheese, softened
- 14 oz (395 g) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal, plus extra for garnish
- Prepare the Crust: Start by crushing graham crackers into fine crumbs, then mix them with melted butter until the mixture holds together well. Press the mixture firmly into the base of your chosen pan to create an even crust layer, then chill while you prepare the filling.
- Whip the Cream Cheese Filling: In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
- Fold in the Whipped Topping and Fruity Pebbles: Gently fold in whipped topping to lighten the mixture, followed by just enough Fruity Pebbles cereal to maintain that fresh crunch without sogginess. Be careful not to overmix to keep the cereal intact.
- Assemble and Chill: Pour the filling over the chilled crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle some extra Fruity Pebbles on top for garnish, then cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until firm.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, slice and serve chilled. Each bite delivers a fun, fruity, and creamy experience that’s simply irresistible.

- Do not skip refrigeration time to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
