For the Crust
  • 2 cups Crispy cereal

  • 1 package Cream cheese (8 oz), softened Can substitute with a plant-based cream cheese.

Preparation

  2. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.
  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to mix until well combined.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract, sour cream, and lemon juice until the filling is smooth and creamy.

Notes

Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling. Press the crust firmly into the dish to provide a stable base. Refrigerate the cheesecake for the entire 4 hours for best texture. Consider mixing in fresh fruit or chocolate chips into the filling for added flavor. Garnish with whipped cream or fresh fruit before serving.
