No-Bake Lucky Charms Marshmallow Cheesecake

A SIDE VIEW OF THE LUCKY CHARMS MARSHMALLOW CHEESECAKE ON A CAKE STAND.Perfect for kids and adults alike, this No-Bake Lucky Charms Marshmallow Cheesecake is a real winner! A Lucky Charms crust filled with a lusciously light & creamy marshmallow cheesecake. Great for St. Patty’s Day!

So. Online dating.

It is still the worst. 

“Try Tinder,” my friends said. “You’ll love it,” they said. “I’ve met so many cool people on there,” they said.

And who do I get? Hunters, shirtless dudes, and pictures of things you don’t want to know about.

Seriously? Why can’t I get matched with normal people? Are there still semi-normal people in this world? I don’t mean that they can’t be weird in some way, but can we cut it out with the pictures of dudes holding up animals they just killed? #umno

And there are SO many “couples” looking for “play mates” that I just may become a nun. Only half-joking. Mostly serious.

And don’t tell me “that’s just Tinder! Try somewhere else!” HONEY. Do you think I haven’t tried Match, Plenty of Fish, Bumble, OkCupid and eHarmony? I’ve tried them all except for Farmers Only, but I can’t even keep a plant alive and I don’t think fishing is fun so I’m pretty sure I don’t meet their qualifications.

IT’S CRAZY. CRAZINESS EVERYWHERE.

So congratulations if you met your sweetie on a dating site. I truly am happy for you! But your sweetie was literally the only viable option and the rest are lunatics in disguise. At least they make for great stories?

ANYWAY, I have been swiping until my fingers feel numb and no such luck. So it’s back to the drawing board, which means spending my time wisely by eating this No-Bake Lucky Charms Marshmallow Cheesecake. Folks, it’s a divine one! Smooth, creamy, with that gooey, crunchy Lucky Charms crust… HEAVEN!

And no, I will NOT stop making cereal-crusted cheesecakes. Not unless you tell me to stop. (Pretty please don’t tell me to stop).

If you have kidlets, this would be super fun to make with them! Have them mix together the gooey marshmallows and cereal, or delegate them to pressing the cereal mixture into the pan. They can even sprinkle the cereal marshmallows on top of the finishing product… assuming you don’t eat all of those marshmallows!

WHOLE CHEESECAKE ON A CAKE STAND WITH ONE SLICE MISSING.This recipe does use a bag of cereal marshmallows which I found online at Amazon. If you don’t want to order an entire bag of cereal marshmallows (which… for many reasons, I understand), feel free to sprinkle on extra Lucky Charms cereal OR isolate the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms cereal to sprinkle on top!

Now who wants to dive right in?

Ingredients

    I don’t know that I’ve ever commented on your blog before (but I read every day, and love it) — just wanted to say, I was single for years and years and years, also online dating on ALL THE APPS, also to no avail. Don’t give up (not to be confused with, “don’t take lengthy breaks when it gets so, unbearably frustrating not just in terms of your dating life, but the future of humanity at large). I met my current boyfriend on Tinder, in a smallish town, and I’m sure it WAS blind luck but…I was just about to give up, and then I met him. There’s always hope! And in the meantime you’re doing what you love with great success, I’d say that’s pretty wonderful.

      Do you guys have Amazon in Australia? Amazon has the cereal marshmallows online! For the marshmallow fluff (the jar), you can substitute it with 1 & 1/2 cups melted marshmallows, and the Cool Whip can be substituted with fresh whipped cream!

    Hi, great recipe! My son and I just made it, the only thing was there was way too many lucky charms to fit inside the 9 inch pan, so we transferred into a glass casserole dish, and then there really wasn’t enough filling to go on top of all the lucky charms. Next time I will use about 4 cups, then it should all fit into the 9 inch pan.

    Instead of using mini marshmallows for the crust I decided to put Lucky Charms into a food processor, grind them down, and then add melted butter to make the pie crust. This is very similar to the way you make graham cracker crust for pies. Although the crust did not look as beautiful as the picture on here (my crust turned green… maybe this would be good for St. Patrick’s Day ;P) – it tasted delicious! After I formed the crust with my hands on the round glass pie dish I decided to cook it so it would be a little bit crispy. I put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 10-15 min. Once crust cooled I added the cheese cake mixture and then put in the fridge to set.
