Method

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the milk and 1 cup of cereal. Allow the mixture to sit for about 30 minutes until the milk absorbs the cereal flavor.

  2. Strain the milk to remove the cereal and discard the cereal. Set the milk aside.

  3. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.

  4. Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and continuously stir until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. This should take about 5 minutes.

  5. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the remaining 3 cups of cereal. Mix well until the cereal is coated with the marshmallow mixture.

  6. Press the cereal mixture into a 9-inch springform pan, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly. Let it cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until it becomes firm.

  7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the gelatin with 1/4 cup of water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to soften.

  8. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer on medium-high speed to beat the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, sour cream, lemon juice, and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. This should take about 1 minute.

  9. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the cereal-infused milk. Beat on low speed until the milk is fully incorporated into the mixture, which should take about 1 minute.
