Step-by-Step Instructions
The first step in making this No-Bake Rice Krispy Treat Cheesecake is preparing the Rice Krispy base. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows, stirring constantly until they melt completely and become gooey. Remove from heat and quickly mix in the Rice Krispies. Once combined, press the mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased springform pan to form a solid crust. This might get a little sticky, but I find using a rubber spatula dampened with a little water helps smooth things out nicely. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
