Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed cereal (like Fruity Pebbles or Cornflakes)
- ½ cup melted butter
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 16 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (whipped to stiff peaks)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Gel food coloring (red, yellow, green, blue)
- Whipped cream (for topping)
- Lucky Charms marshmallows or colorful cereal pieces (for topping)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Mix crushed cereal, melted butter, and sugar. Press into the bottom of a springform pan. Chill for 15 minutes.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream. Divide mixture into 3–4 bowls and tint each with a different color.

Notes
- For best results, use gel food coloring for vibrant colors.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
- Chilling each layer helps maintain distinct colors.
