Instructions
Prep the Crust: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the marshmallow fluff and stir until smooth. Remove from heat and mix in the Rice Krispies until well-coated. Firmly press the mixture into the bottom of a greased 9-inch springform pan. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Gently fold in the sour cream.
Combine and Pour: Pour the cheesecake filling over the prepared Rice Krispie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Bake the cheesecake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off the oven and leave the door ajar, letting the cheesecake cool in the oven for about one hour.
Add Toppings: Once cooled, sprinkle mini marshmallows and the extra Rice Krispies over the top, then drizzle with melted chocolate.
Chill: Refrigerate the cheesecake for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow it to set properly.
