Filling
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup whipped topping
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (divided: about 3/4 cup for folding in filling and 1/4 cup reserved for garnish)
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- Prepare the crust: Press graham cracker crumbs mixed with melted butter and sugar firmly into the bottom of a springform pan or pie dish. Chill in the refrigerator while preparing the filling to help it set firmly.
- Mix the filling: Beat softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and creamy. Gently fold in whipped topping, taking care to keep the mixture light and fluffy.
- Fold in Fruity Pebbles: Reserve about 1/4 cup of Fruity Pebbles for garnish. Carefully fold the remaining cereal into the cheesecake filling, ensuring the cereal stays crunchy and colorful.
- Assemble and chill: Pour the filling over the chilled crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle the reserved Fruity Pebbles on top for a colorful finishing touch. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to set completely.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, slice with a sharp knife dipped in hot water for clean cuts. Serve chilled and enjoy your creamy, colorful no-bake cheesecake.
Notes

- Fold whipped topping in gently to maintain light and fluffy texture.
- Add Fruity Pebbles last and fold carefully to keep the cereal crunchy and colorful.
- Refrigerate thoroughly to help the cheesecake firm up for clean slicing.
- Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between slices for perfect cuts.
