How to Make Lucky Charms Cheesecake Recipe
Add the graham crackers into a blender or food processer to crush into crumbs. Add the crumbs, sugar, and melted butter into a bowl and mix until fully combined.
Use parchment paper to line a 7-inch springform pan, then place the prepared crumbs into the pan and press down using a spoon to even out the crust until the bottom of the pan is completely covered.
Put the crust into the freezer.
Add the cream cheese, heavy cream, and pudding into a mixing bowl of a standing mixer and beat on low until combined.
Pour in the sugars, vanilla, and lemon juice and combine again.
Switch the mixer to high and mix until the batter is smooth and creamy. Switch the mixer off, then scrape the sides with a spatula and blend again.
In a large bowl, add in the Lucky Charm’s frosted flakes, begin to pick out all the marshmallows you can find adding up to about 20-30 marshmallows and a few of the flakes.
Fold them into the batter gently using a spoon. Any unused cereal can go back into its box.
Put the vanilla frosting into the fridge to chill until it is time to use it.
Take the crust out of the freezer and add in the batter on top. Use a spatula to smooth out evenly, then place it back into the freezer. Allow the batter to chill for at least 2 hours, or if you have time, overnight will give you the best results.
If you are ready to serve your cheesecake, take it out of the freezer and remove the spring-form from the pan. Take the frosting out of the fridge and add it into a piping bag with a large star tip. Begin making large dollops of icing around the edge of the cheesecake. Add some more marshmallows and frosted flakes to decorate over the frosting and cheesecake. Be sure to add the colorful marshmallows on top of the frosting for a beautiful presentation.
Slice into 2-3 inch wide pieces and enjoy!
What Is Used to Set This Cheesecake?
So, the best way to make a No-Bake cheesecake is to double up on the cream. Using cream will help set the cheesecake in the freezer while it is chilling. You also want to make sure that you let the cheesecake chill for the right amount of time to set perfectly.
Can I Use Different Cereal?
In this recipe, using Lucky Charm is giving the cheesecake a St. Patty’s Day-like theme. If you aren’t planning on using this for a certain occasion or want to switch it up, you can use other cereals. You can use whatever cereal you want, but I recommend using a fruity type of cereal for great flavor.

NOTE: If the batter seems a little thick, you can add another Tablespoon of heavy cream, blend, and that should thin the batter a little. ALSO: when decorating the cake, you'll probably have some lucky charms cereal leftover, just place it back in the package, and then in the box for storage.
