Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade treat combining crunchy cereal with creamy strawberry cheesecake flavor, perfect for casual gatherings and sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups Chex cereal (Rice or Corn)
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberry powder
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • Optional: pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Gather and measure all ingredients: Have your 6 cups of Chex cereal ready in a large bowl. Measure out the cream cheese frosting, strawberry powder, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and melted butter.
  2. Prepare the coating mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese frosting, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth and well blended (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Add the strawberry powder and powdered sugar: Slowly mix in the freeze-dried strawberry powder and powdered sugar to the frosting mixture until thickened.
  4. Coat the cereal: Pour the frosting mixture over the Chex cereal. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold and toss the cereal until every piece has a light, even coating, being careful not to crush the cereal.
  5. Shake to finish: Transfer the coated cereal into a large zip-top plastic bag or container with a lid. Seal tightly and shake vigorously for 1-2 minutes to distribute the coating evenly.
  6. Spread and cool: Pour the coated cereal onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or large tray in a single layer. Let it sit for 15-20 minutes to firm up and prevent clumping.
  7. Store or serve: Once cooled, transfer the puppy chow to an airtight container. Ready to enjoy immediately, flavors deepen after a few hours.

Notes

Use room temperature frosting for easier coating. Shake the cereal vigorously in a sealed bag for even coverage. If frosting thickens too much, warm slightly in microwave for 10 seconds. Store airtight to maintain crunch. Resting overnight improves flavor.
