Toasted Marshmallow No Bake Cheesecake: Genius creation involving a crust made of Rice Krispie Treats that is filled with a vanilla bean toasted marshmallow no bake cheesecake.
Yes that is Rice Krispie Treats as a crust for cheesecake which you totally need in your life.
You are correct in saying I am evil and awesome all at the same time.
I’ve been pretty creative as of late.
One thing that sucks about being creative though is that I think of these recipes and then Google them.
Hoping someone has as warped a mind as me so I don’t have to type out the recipe but sadly I am left to figure it all out.
Blogger confession time: I hate typing out the recipe.
I would probably blog ten times more I kid you not if I didn’t have to type out the recipe. #lazy
I’ve been wanting to make this for quite a while.
Not totally sure why I haven’t…oh yeah, that lazy thing.
This is a great dessert for when you don’t want to turn on the oven.
And it’s fairly easy to make.
The hardest part is just forming the crust and that’s not really that hard.
You need to make this the day you are serving it if you want the crust to stay firm.
It will still be tasty but will get soft if you let it sit in the fridge overnight.
I wanted to do a giveaway of all things Rodelle vanilla and decided this would be the recipe to highlight some of the ways to use the different forms of vanilla.
As most of you know I have been a Rodelle ambassador for quite some time.
It’s not something I am paid for (well I do get product when needed) but I gladly promote because I love their products.
I first learned of them when I discovered they were the ones at Christmas time at my Costco selling vanilla beans, which I would stock up and hoard because it was such a good deal.
Today you have a chance to get your hands on a few of the Rodelle vanilla products yourself to get your Spring baking on.
All you need to do is leave a comment telling me what your favorite vanilla dessert is.
Only one entry per person.
You must live in the US. You have until April 23rd 2015 8pm PST to enter.
Please note giveaway has ended.
It’s a great day to order my cookbook.

Vanilla Bean Rice Krispie Treat Cupcake
Strawberry Malted Milk No Bake Cheesecake
Toasted Marshmallow No Bake Cheesecake
Ingredients
- Rice Krispie Treat Crust:
- 3 TBSP unsalted butter
- ½ tsp. vanilla extract (I used Rodelle)
- 6 cups Rice Krispies Cereal
- 10 oz. mini marshmallows
- Vanilla Bean Toasted Marshmallow Cheesecake:
- 1 tsp. unflavored gelatin
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup boiling water
- 16 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
- 3 oz. marshmallow fluff
- 4 oz. mini marshmallows, toasted
- 1 vanilla bean (I used Rodelle), cut, seeds removed, pod discarded
- ½ tsp. vanilla bean paste or extract (I used Rodelle)
Instructions
- For the Rice Krispie Crust:
- Spray a 10-inch spring form pan with baking spray. Set aside.
- Melt the butter over low heat in a large heavy bottom pot, I used my Le Creuset.
- Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted.
- Remove from heat and add vanilla and mix until incorporated.
- Add the cereal and mix until well coated.
- Form the rice krispie treats into the springform pan, starting with the bottom and then the sides. You might have a little left over…just eat it.
- If you are not eating the cheesecake the day you make it the crust will start to get soggy.
- For the cheesecake:
- Mix the sugar and gelatin in a small bowl.
- Add boiling water and let sit for 5 minutes while gelatin dissolves.
- Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment beat the cream cheese, vanilla bean, and vanilla bean paste until soft and creamy.
- Add the marshmallow fluff and the toasted marshmallows and beat until fully incorporated. You will have lumps from the toasted marshmallows, that’s okay.
- Gradually add the gelatin mixture. It’s going to look like soup at the end…don’t panic.
- When all the gelatin is fully incorporated transfer mixture in the bowl to the fridge and let chill for 45 minutes.
- Remove from fridge and mix vigorously to get smooth again. It should have thickened up.
- Pour into prepared Rice Krispie Treat Crust and smooth evenly with spatula. You can top with more toasted marshmallows for garnish if you want.
- Put back in fridge for at least 4 hours to fully set up.

Favorite vanilla dessert?? That’s a tough one….I would have to say it’s my Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
June Burns says
Wow that is a love of vanilla! It looks delicious, especially with the rice krispy crust–that is genius 🙂
grace says
i’m not gonna lie, i’d be all over this. so much so that if you wanted any, you’d have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers. awesome work.
my favorite vanilla dessert is probably my vanilla bean cream pie. especially bruleed.
Lauren at Keep It Sweet says
Love, love this! The massive amount of vanilla and toasted marshmallow flavors sounds amazing.
Tommy says
I think creme brûlée is my favorite vanilla dessert!
Katie Rose says
Sweet! Love cheesecake but hate the usually nasty graham cracker crust. I’ll have you know that you are my source for creative mashups of awesome desserts.
Favorite vanilla dessert? Okay, I’ll play. Creme Brulee!
Megan P. says
My favorite dessert that showcases vanilla is definitely creme brulee.
nora says
Our favorite vanilla dessert (and my husband is a true vanilla fiend) is my husband’s grandma’s vanilla ice cream – but we amp it up with vanilla paste and whole bottle of vanilla extract!
Tiffany P. says
It has to be my vanilla pudding(pastry cream). I just grab a spoon and go for it.
Stephanie says
Vanilla ice cream from Guernsey dairy back home in Michigan! Oh how I miss that place 🙁
Amy Mason says
I make a mean vanilla bean ice cream that would have to be my favorite. But this looks SO delicious!!!!!
Isela G. says
Vanilla flan! Yum!
karen says
I love homemade vanilla pudding!
Shonie says
this looks amazing! As I’m lactose intolerant, I’m going to try to make this with vegan cream cheese. It probably won’t taste as good but this has to be made! As for favorite vanilla recipes, I would have to say my mom’s homemade vanilla ice cream is my favorite.
Cassie says
I’m a sucker for great vanilla. Anything I bake with vanilla usually has at least twice the called for amount. As much as I can get away with without adding too much liquid! I’m going to be very uncreative here and get on the creme brûlée bandwagon for my favorite vanilla dessert. =)
Kristen says
This looks delicious! One of my favorite vanilla desserts has to be this great vanilla bean creme brulee that I had while on a cruise a few years back. For homemade, I made an awesome vanilla cheesecake with an oatmeal cookie crust a few years back that everyone really liked. 🙂
Heather says
First off, this is amazing. It’s immediately going on the list of kinda crazy desserts I’m trying to convince the mister to let me make him for his birthday.
Second, I miss the time in my life when i was a pastry chef and was able to use vanilla bean paste with the abandon usually reserved for cheap imitation vanilla extract.
Hmmm vanilla desserts…I used to make an unusual but incredible vanilla goat cheese pudding. I’d have to trick people into trying it but once they did they were hooked!
Peabody says
@heather- I hear ya. When I created recipes for an online bakery they used to send me it in bulk. I loved that. While I do get it now from Rodelle (and their’s is awesome) I will panic whenever my ambassadorship ends.
Theresa says
Favorite vanilla dessert: homemade vanilla icecream with mini chocolate chips.
Bruce says
I love anything with lots of vanilla, but fresh, still warm, homemade vanilla pudding is my absolute favorite. Love your creativity and your blog. Keep up the good work!

This will be added to my repertoire immediate. My favourite vanilla dessert is definitely a great creme Brule

A good, fine grained, moist vanilla pound cake. Simplicity at its best!

I’ve actually used a rice crispy treat crust for a homemade ice cream cake. Life changing.

Vanilla Bean Ice Cream is my favorite.
KB says
Vanilla bean buttercream frosting. Wait, frosting alone doesn’t count as a dessert? Darn it. Definitely my mom’s homemade buttermilk vanilla bean ice cream, then!
Vicki Tunell says
I love pastry cream, it’s my favorite thing ever 🙂 This looks great, I can’t wait to try it!
Dawn Reinhardt says
This dessert looks so very good. Must…bake…immediately…
As for my favorite vanilla dessert, I’m a huge fan of vanilla cupcakes. With vanilla buttercream frosting on top 🙂
Kate says
I’m going to go with the way my mom would sometimes do ice cream for dessert: vanilla ice cream with Hershey syrup, Spanish peanuts & a cherry on top, it’s total comfort food for me now. Annoyingly I can’t seem to find Spanish peanuts at any of the grocery stores here in Boston.
Ginger says
I LOVE homemade vanilla creme brûlée! Soo good. 😉 Or homemade vanilla ice cream. haha!
Victoria V says
This looks AMAZING. You are an evil genius and I think we all love you for that! 😉
As for my favorite vanilla dessert?? I have to say vanilla ice cream, considering I’m boring and vanilla is my fav flavor of ice cream to begin with. Top it with some chocolate syrup and I’m a happy girl!
Kristina S says
Favourite vanilla dessert… rice pudding that my grandma used to make me when I was little 🙂

This looks absolutely amazing!!!
Panya says
Simple, but my favorite vanilla dessert is ice cream!
Nancy Smith says
My favorite Rodell product is the Vanilla extract…guess that’s because it’s the only one I’ve tried! The Cheese Cake looks fabulous! Can’t wait to try it!!
Leanne says
Rice Krispy Treats as a Crust, amazing!!!! I will definitely be making this. I have a few favorite vanilla recipes, vanilla bean crieme brûlée, vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting, and vanilla bean ice cream with white chocolate
Diane says
Vanilla bean ice cream!
I do wonder… would the rice crispy treat crust hold up with a fruit pie? Or is it best left with the more solid pies?
Kelly M. says
Vanilla is my favorite thing! In fact, I love vanilla so much that for our first date, my (now) boyfriend showed up with a bouquet of vanilla beans tied with a ribbon instead of flowers! It’s way too hard to choose a favorite vanilla dessert, but I love cake with vanilla bean buttercream.
Suzanne Ball says
My favorite vanilla dessert? Vanilla Crème Brulee. Only had it once and I’m hooked!

Vanilla Ice Cream, yum! 🙂

Alice says
When I liked this on Facebook it showed up in my husband’s newsfeed & he immediately asked when I was going to make it!
I think Tiramisu would have to be my favorite dessert.

I love a good old-fashioned like Grandma used to make custard. I don’t make it often because I tend to eat the entire bowl in one sitting.

Jordan says
Holy wow this looks incredible.. How do you come up with this stuff!?
Love cheesecake, love rice krispies, never would have thought to put them together..
ANYWHO. I think my favorite vanilla dessert is just a good old vanilla bean ice cream. You know, the one where you can actually see the flecks of vanilla bean in it.. mmm..
Karla says
Vanilla bean cheesecake, vanilla bean ice cream- heck I put vanilla extract with a bit of sugar in my coffee mug before pouring coffee in- instant vanilla coffee! mmm
Britt says
Creme brûlée!
MaryB says
I love vanilla creme brulee and vanilla bean ice cream – two of my favorites!
Suzanne Brown says
Vanilla bean ice cream
Anne Strawberry says
I love good vanilla pastry cream. I love the vanilla bean paste and how sexy the little flecks are in frosting or ice cream.
My daughter just walked by and said “yeah that’s a pie I would eat” (she’s my little picky eater). This looks delicious!
Brittney says
I Love vanilla! When I bake, I never measure it out, I always just splash it in, because there is no such thing as too much vanilla! 🙂 I am a French Vanilla Bean ice cream girl all the way! Although I could never say no to creme brûlée, or soufflé! Oh! And a good ‘ol classic yellow cake!
Beamer says
Ice Cream – YUM!

Katy says
Vanilla Bean Cheesecakeeeee 🙂 Yummy!!!
Carrie M. says
Love a good vanilla cupcake
Nancy says
I was going to say vanilla ice cream, but the creme brûlée response is genius! Yum!
Kristen@accidentallydomesticated says

Eunsae says
This was sooooo good! Thats realy all i can say
Peabody says
Glad you enjoyed it!
Suzanne says
This looks so good! Do you use this crust in other recipes?
Peabody says
I have used it for chocolate cream pie
Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! Does it keep long?
Peabody says
The crust will start to get soggy if you kept too long.
Kristi says
This! This is my favorite vanilla dessert! Seriously, where has this been my whole life?!? I’m dying to make but need those Rodelle products.
Corey Carr says
My favorite vanilla dessert is vanilla pudding no bake cheesecake with banana, blueberry , and strawberry on top!
Peabody says
Sounds yummy
Suzanne says
This looks so good! What a great combination of two favorite desserts!
Vanessa says
Thanks for sharing! How far ahead of time can I make it?
Sara Smith says
Made this for our Easter dinner for over 15 people. Only one person said it was ok. The crust gets soggy and filing tastes more like a Flan. The gelatin in it really ruined it. Ended up throwing it out. The concept is great but was not good at all. Would be good with a regular no bake cheesecake filling with the fluff and toasted marshmallows added to but no gelatin.
Peabody says
Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it.
