Cocoa Puffs Cheesecake
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of Cocoa Puffs cereal
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
- 24 oz of cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup of sour cream
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a food processor, pulse 2 cups of Cocoa Puffs cereal until finely ground. Add 1/4 cup of melted butter and pulse until combined.
- Press the Cocoa Puffs mixture into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan, creating an even crust. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, beat 24 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Add 3 eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Mix in 1/2 cup of sour cream and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until combined. Gradually add 1/2 cup of heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the cream cheese mixture over the cooled Cocoa Puffs crust in the springform pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake the cheesecake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
- Turn off the oven and let the cheesecake cool in the oven with the door slightly ajar for 1 hour.
- Remove the cheesecake from the oven and run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving.
- Slice and enjoy the Cocoa Puffs cheesecake!
