Ingredients

Scale

Shell Ingredients

  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cheesecake Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whipped topping
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings

  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Fresh fruit (such as berries)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Fruity Pebbles Taco Shells: Melt the butter and mix it thoroughly with the Fruity Pebbles cereal in a bowl. Press the mixture firmly into a taco-shaped mold or shape half-moons on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill or gently bake just enough to set the shape without losing crunch.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then slowly fold in the whipped topping or heavy cream to create a light, fluffy cheesecake mixture.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: Once the Fruity Pebbles shells have hardened and cooled, use a spoon or piping bag to fill each shell with the cheesecake mixture. Add optional toppings like mini chocolate chips or fresh fruit as desired.
  4. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled tacos in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the filling to firm up slightly. Serve cold for a refreshing and indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use a clean taco mold or shape shells around a small rolling pin for perfect curves.
  • Press the cereal and butter mixture firmly to bind well and hold shape.
  • Refrigerate shells before filling to keep them crisp and avoid sogginess.
  • Aim for a fluffy but stable cheesecake filling for easy piping or scooping.
  • Prepare shells a day ahead and keep filling chilled for convenient assembly.
  • Store assembled tacos in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
  • Freeze unfilled shells wrapped well for up to a month; avoid freezing filled tacos.
  • Briefly warm shells in the oven if preferred, but do not reheat filled tacos.
