Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I first prepare the Rice Krispie crust. In a saucepan over low heat, I melt the butter and marshmallows together until they are nice and gooey. This is the part where my kitchen fills with that sweet, marshmallow aroma! Once melted, I remove it from the heat, and gently stir in the Rice Krispies until they’re well coated. Then, I press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a springform pan, leveling it out to ensure a nice crust. It’s essential to give it a good press down—this crust needs to hold up to the creamy filling! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
