Key Ingredients You Need
Crust:
Graham Crackers: One of the most common crust bases that fit with almost any flavor of cheesecake.
Cereal: Use Trix Fruity Shapes for this cheesecake. Triz is one of my favorite brands to use for desserts because of its vibrant colors.
Butter: It is best to use unsalted butter for this recipe. Using unsalted butter will give you control of the flavoring in the recipe. This will allow the rawest and natural flavor to come out in the recipe.
Cheesecake:
Cream Cheese: Use softened or room temperature cream cheese to allow ingredients to blend more easily. Using cream cheese in your filling will enhance the flavor and give it a more fluffy and delectable texture.
Heavy Cream: This is a great thickening agent and when used at room temperature it will prevent the recipe from cracking.
Powdered Sugar: This is the best sugar to use when needing a frosting with a smooth consistency.
Vanilla Extract: Vanilla is used not only to add an aroma to the recipe but also to enhance the flavor as well for a sweeter and more delicious recipe.
Granulated Sugar: In addition to adding a sweeter flavor to your cheesecake. Granulated sugar caramelizes and absorbs moisture which overall improves the texture and flavor of the cheesecake.
Frosting:
Blue Food Coloring Gel: Be sure to use food coloring gel and not the liquid form to make it blend easier into the ingredients. Use a drop to a couple of drops to make the desired color of the recipe.
How To Make Trix Cheesecake
Crust
1. Making the Crust. In a food processor, add in the graham crackers with 1 cup of cereal and pulse until crumbs form.
In a medium-sized bowl, melt the butter and add it into the crumbs to coat and mix.
Use parchment paper to line a 7-inch spring-form pan and add in the prepared crumbs and press into the bottom. Use the back of a spoon to smooth out. In a large bowl, add in the cereal and separate all of the aqua flowers with the pink middle (See Photo). Begin lining the edge of the crust with the cereal flowers and gently press down. Set in the freezer to chill.
2. Whipped Cream. Add the heavy cream and 1 tbsp of powdered sugar into the mixing bowl of a standing mixer and combine using a whisk attachment until stiff with peaks. Place the whipped cream into another bowl and set it in the fridge to chill.
Cheesecake
3. Making the Cheesecake. Add the cream cheese into a mixing bowl and combine until smooth and fluffy. Put in the vanilla, powdered sugar, and sugar and combine until smooth. Take the whipped cream out of the fridge and add it to the cheesecake batter. Put in the cereal and fold into the batter gently.
Take the pan out of the freezer and add in the prepared cheesecake batter and smooth out. Top the cheesecake with cereal and set it back into the freezer overnight for the best results.
Frosting
1. Making the Frosting. Add the butter and cream cheese into a mixing bowl and combine using a whisk attachment until creamy and fluffy. Put in the vanilla and heavy cream and combine. One cup at a time, add in the powdered sugar and combine at low speed until combined and smooth with all the sugar added. Put in a few drops of the blue food coloring gel at a time and combine until the desired color is reached.
2. Frosting the Cookies. Tear off a 12-inch wide plastic wrap. Place the frosting in tubes length-wise on the plastic wrap-like ribbons. Roll the plastic wrap making sure to keep it long and twist the ends (See Photo). Cut the end and set it into a pastry bag with a large star tip. Use the piping bag to begin placing the frosting around the cheesecake in a swirling motion. Place big dollops and bring to a point. Top the frosting with more of the aqua flowers and set it back into the freezer to chill until you are ready to serve.
Take off the spring-form pan when you are ready to eat and cut it into 2-inch slices. Serve and Enjoy!

- Using Plastic wrap (Glad Wrap) tear off a piece about 10 inches wide, and place the Frosting length-wise in the middle of the plastic wrap. It will look like a long ribbon of Frosting.

Place more of the Aqua Flowers Cereal on top of the Frosting, and sprinkle the Cereal on top of the Cheesecake in the Center and all over the top.
