We all love Rice Krispies Treats – but who says these delicious treats are reserved only for Rice Krispies?
I don’t!
Special K Cereal is the way to go. Long been one of my favorites, Dad and I used to sneak a bowl or two topped with heavy cream when Mom wasn’t home 🙂
And, with gooey marshmallows, vanilla chocolate cream, and loads of fresh strawberries, this little dessert is like summer dreams in all the bites!
Strawberry Special K Fluff Cake
8 Tbs. butter
1 large bag of large marshmallows
3-4 cups Strawberry Special K Cereal
8 oz. mascarpone cheese
5 oz. white chocolate
16 oz. plain cream cheese
8 oz. Bonne Maman Strawberry Preserves
8 oz. fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring until completely melted. Add the cereal and stir to coat evenly.
Transfer the ooey-gooey mixture to a parchment lined springform pan. Press into the pan and allow to cool for at least 60 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate and mascarpone on very low heat. Once liquified-ish, pour the chocolate cheese mixture over the cooled cereal fluff cake layer.
Allow the cake to cool again – in the fridge for several hours.
In the meantime, whip together the cream cheese and strawberry preserves.
Once the cake is cool, spread a thin layer of the cream cheese over the top.
Then decorate with freshly sliced strawberries.
It’s magical.
