Ingredients
- 3 ½ cups Fruity Pebbles Cereal
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 16 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 7 oz tub marshmallow creme
- 1 ½ cup cereal, lightly chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Cereal Taco Shells:
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the Fruity Pebbles, mini marshmallows, and unsalted butter.
- Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes until the marshmallows start to expand.
- Quickly stir the mixture until all the cereal is evenly coated with the melted marshmallows and butter.
- While still warm, spoon the mixture into taco shell molds or form small taco shapes by draping over a narrow rolling pin or the handle of a wooden spoon, suspended between two objects.
- Allow to cool and set until firm, creating your cereal taco shells.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
- Fold in the marshmallow creme and then gently mix in the additional chopped cereal for a bit of texture.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Tacos:
- Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the cereal taco shells.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up the filling before serving.
- Optional Garnish:
- Optionally, garnish the tacos with extra Fruity Pebbles or sprinkles for a more festive look.

Notes
Serving:
When ready to serve Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos, consider adding a touch of flair by arranging them on a colorful platter or serving board. For a festive presentation, sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles or colorful sprinkles over the top just before serving. These tacos are best enjoyed chilled, so be sure to remove them from the refrigerator just before serving to maintain their delightful texture and flavor.
Storage:
If you have any leftovers (though they might disappear quickly!), store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Properly stored, Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos will stay fresh for up to 2-3 days. However, keep in mind that the cereal taco shells may lose some of their crunchiness over time. To help preserve their texture, you can store the taco shells separately from the cheesecake filling and assemble them just before serving. Simply place the taco shells in a resealable bag or container, and store the cheesecake filling in another container. When ready to enjoy, fill the taco shells with the cheesecake filling and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
