Lucky Charms Cheesecake
- Charms
- Oats
- 6 Tablespoons Butter
- 32 Ounces Cream Cheese
- 1 Pint Light Cream
- 1 Cup Sugar
- 1 Cup Sour Cream
- 4 Eggs
Instructions
- For the crust of this cheesecake, Place 3 cups of the oats into a food processor and pulse until crumbled. Add in 6 tablespoons of room temp butter and give it a few more pulses to get everything coated. Prep a springform pan to be waterproof in a waterbath by wrapping it in tin foil. Press the oat and butter mixture into the springform pan to form the bottom crust and bake at 350 for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the pint of light cream into a bowl, and load it up with oats until you can't fit anymore. Allow this to soak for about an hour. you should still have some oats leftover for serving (you only need about a cup). Once the cream has absorbed all the cereal flavor, strain it and measure out 1 cup for the recipe.
- In a mixer, or a food processor, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the sugar and mix again until smooth. Add the sour and light creams, and a pinch of salt and mix some more. One at a time beat in the eggs. until combined. Stir in the charms. Pour this into your cooled pie crust that is in a larger baking dish. Place that in the oven fill the baking dish with hot water. Pray that your foil protector is doing it's job, and bake at 325 for an hour and 50 minutes. When it's done, shut off the oven, open the oven door, and let it sit another hour or so to cool down slowly and prevent cracking. Cool in the fridge overnight before serving. Top with a few oats to add crunch.
