Brilliant idea with the Coco Pebbles crust! It opens up a lot of GF pie options.

My daughter LOVES Coco Pebbles cereal and hasn’t had a reaction – thankfully.

Thank you for the recipe.

I don’t think the Pebbles cereal is truly gluten free due to the fact that it contains malt in the ingredients which I believe is not gluten free.

Love the idea of a cocoa pebble crust! I do something similar, but instead of cocoa pebbles I use the other main stream G-F cereal, Rice Chex (blue box).

Smash 3/4 cups rice chex, add 3 Tablespoons melted butter, 2 Tablespoons sugar, a little cocoa (if you want it chocolate) and you’ve got a totally delicious base for any cheesecake.

Whoah! My mom never let me eat sugar cereal when I was a kid, and with all my food allergies, I have tended to stay away from processed and sugary cereals. I had no idea that Cocoa Pebbles is gluten-free. I wouldn’t eat it for breakfast, but what a great idea to use it for a crust.
My mom makes a mean Mud Pie and the crust is made of those chocolate cookies – don’t know the brand – but this would be a great replacement for them. Of course, I can’t have ice cream either but coconut ice cream is just as good in my opinion.
thanks for the great idea!

This looks wonderful! What could be better than soft chocolate sandwiched by more chocolate? Absolutely nothing I tell you!! Unless of course you found a way to squeeze more chocolate in there:)

That is a gorgeous cheesecake! However, I have to tell you that I have tried Cocoa Pebbles several times and had severe gluten reactions EACH time. Why did I try again? Because people keep saying that they are GF and no gluten shows on the label, plus I liked the idea of being able to eat a sugary cereal from the regular grocery store now and then, but I sincerely believe that there is cross contamination going on or something. The reaction is unmistakeable for me. It is not on any GF lists (e.g., Clan Thompson) that I am aware of.

This would cost about a million dollars to make with goat cheese cream cheese from the health food store. But if I made my own goat cheese, I’d be more tempted to try making a cheesecake. Still looking for friends with goats!

What a loooovely cake. It looks insanely delicious and if I were not in the middle of a sugary chocolate rush myself, I would be quite jealous ;b

Happy Valentines Day and Happy First Date Anniversery!

Wow! Looks good and I had no idea Cocoa Pebbles were gluten-free. Have had the Koala Crisp before, but it’s too sweet for me. Don’t like sugary cereal for breakfast, although I will fight for the last cookie for breakfast. Who can understand the mind of this woman?

Thanks for the yummy-looking post!

Aww…I remember the days when hubby and I would cook together ! Now, he does the eating and I do the cooking (and eating) . This is such a yummy recipe! My husband might consider cooking with me again if I made this for him, he loves chocolate and cheesecake. I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Oh wow, that cake looks DELICIOUS! I had no idea that we could eat Cocoa Pebbles! That would make a great crust! Perfect. Happy Valentine’s Day!

Yum! I love staying in on Valentine’s Day! However, last year Parrish and I did go eat crab legs at this little restaurant. It was really good, except that we smelled like butter the rest of the night.

Brilliant idea to use Cocoa pebbles. It has become pretty much the staple cereal in our household.

If Post would officially declare it GF, the sales would go through the roof!

Happy Valentine’s day
