These No Bake Lucky Charms Cheesecake Bars combine creamy, tangy cheesecake filling with the sweet, crunchy texture of Lucky Charms cereal marshmallows for a colorful, fun dessert that requires no oven and is perfect for parties, snacks, or any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cups Lucky Charms cereal (crushed, marshmallows separated)
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter (melted)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup whipped topping
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Remaining Lucky Charms marshmallows (folded in)

Optional Garnish

  • Extra Lucky Charms marshmallows
  • White chocolate drizzle
  • Fresh mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Start by crushing half the Lucky Charms cereal into fine crumbs, leaving the marshmallows aside. Mix these crumbs with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press it evenly into the base of an 8×8-inch pan and refrigerate to set while you prepare the filling.
  2. Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and blend to combine. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture is light and fluffy, being careful not to deflate it.
  3. Add the crunchy magic: Fold the remaining Lucky Charms cereal marshmallows into the cheesecake mixture for an extra pop of color and crunch. This adds that signature texture and a fun surprise in every bite.
  4. Assemble the bars: Pour the cheesecake filling over the chilled crust and spread it evenly with a spatula. Smooth the surface and sprinkle a few whole Lucky Charms on top for garnish. Return the pan to the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours or until firm.
  5. Slice and enjoy: Once fully set, carefully remove the bars from the pan and cut them into squares using a sharp knife. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Press the crust firmly to help it hold together better when slicing.
  • Refrigerate thoroughly for at least 4 hours for the filling to set and slice cleanly.
  • Fold in marshmallows and whipped topping gently to retain a fluffy texture.
  • Dip your knife in warm water and wipe it dry before slicing to get clean cuts.
