Cocoa Pebbles is now labeled “gluten free” as is Fruity Pebbles. Also, for a tastier crust that actually tastes like graham cracker crust, use General Mills Honey Nut Chex, butter or margarine and sugar (less than normal since the chex are coated with honey) and you will have one tasty delicious cheese cake crust. By the way, I have also used the same ingedients for other pies such as pumpkin pie when I am out of ginger snaps. Yummy!

This looks delicious – oh, how I like cheese cake. I am allergic to the malt in the cocoa pebbles, but could find something else. Thanks for this.

The moment I clapped eyes on that picture, I had to make this cake for me and my husband. Mouth-watering stuff.

I love chocolate cheesecake with a cocoa pebbles crust. The recipe sounds tempting to taste. Perhaps, everybody else who comes across this blog will like it. I find your Valentine’s Day celebration admirable.

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!
