Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s dive into making this delightful dessert! First, start by preparing your base. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and marshmallows together, stirring frequently until smooth and gooey. This aroma takes me straight back to childhood, with that familiar sweetness wafting through the kitchen. Once melted, pour in the Rice Krispies and mix until they’re evenly coated. Transfer this mixture to your springform pan, pressing it firmly into the bottom to form a solid base. Let it cool while we make the cheesecake filling. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
