Rainbow Cheesecake
Rainbow Cheesecake is a no bake recipe that is creamy and delicious and so easy to make.
The temperature outside feels like Spring, or I’m just wishing really hard. When it feels like Spring it’s time to bust out those spring colors! Saint Patrick’s Day and Easter just around the corner. Before you know it, summer will spend our time around the pool and enjoying our backyard BBQs.
No-bake cheesecakes are a go-to at my house when warm weather finally arrives, and I knew I had to make a dessert that reflected Spring. Trust me, this recipe is so easy to make and is bursting with flavor!
My Cooper loves desserts. When he comes to my house for family dinner, I know it’s the perfect time to try out a new dessert recipe. I always know I have a hit when his cute little eyes get really BIG. And yes, they got really, really, BIG.
This is a new variation of a recipe that I have made for years. Want a truly fluffy cheesecake? Add marshmallows! I added fruit-flavored mini marshmallows and pineapple to the batter, and as the cheesecake sets the marshmallows to become soft. It’s such a nice texture and the cheesecake slices like a dream.
