Ingredients
3 cups fruity cereal
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
Instructions
-
Prepare the taco shells by combining the fruity cereal and melted butter in a bowl. Mix until the cereal is fully coated.
-
Press the mixture firmly into the shape of taco shells using the back of a spoon and a taco mold or the curved side of a muffin pan. Let them set in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
-
While the shells are chilling, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
-
Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract to the cream cheese and continue beating until fully combined and creamy.
-
Fold in the whipped cream gently until the filling is light and fluffy.
-
Once the cereal shells are firm, carefully remove them from the molds.
-
Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each taco shell.
-
Chill the assembled tacos for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
Serve Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos chilled straight from the fridge for the best texture and flavor. For added flair, top them with extra whipped cream, a sprinkle of Fruity Pebbles, or a light drizzle of white chocolate just before serving. These treats are perfect for parties, dessert tables, or anytime you want to impress with minimal effort.
To store, place the assembled tacos in a single layer in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. If you’re making them ahead, it’s best to store the cereal shells and cheesecake filling separately, then assemble just before serving to keep the shells crisp. Freezing is not recommended, as the cereal can become soggy and lose its crunch.
