Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 4 cups Rice Krispies cereal

  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 1/2 cup honey or light corn syrup

For the lemon cheesecake layer:

  • 16 oz cream cheese (softened)

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon zest

  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1 cup whipped cream or whipped topping

Instructions

  1. Make the crust:
    In a saucepan, melt the butter and honey over low heat. Stir until smooth.
    Remove from heat and mix in the Rice Krispies until fully coated.
    Press the mixture firmly into a greased 9×9-inch pan. Chill in the fridge.

  2. Make the lemon cheesecake layer:
    Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla until creamy.
    Fold in the whipped cream gently.
    Spread over the chilled crust evenly.

  3. Chill and serve:
    Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
    Slice into bars and enjoy!

Notes
