Ingredients
Scale
Taco Shells
- 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal, crushed
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
Toppings
- 1/2 cup additional Fruity Pebbles cereal
- White chocolate drizzle (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Taco Shells: Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix the crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal with melted butter until the cereal is evenly coated. Spoon the mixture into lightly greased taco-shaped molds or alternatively drape small portions over the back of a muffin tin to form taco shells. Press gently to shape and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until the shells are set and firm. Allow them to cool completely to harden.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy filling.
- Assemble Tacos: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly into each cooled Fruity Pebbles taco shell. Sprinkle the tops with additional Fruity Pebbles cereal for extra crunch and color. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired for a decorative and tasty finish.
- Chill and Serve: Serve immediately for maximum crunchiness or refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the filling to set further before serving.
Notes
- Ensure taco shells are completely cooled before adding filling to prevent them from becoming soggy.
- If taco molds are unavailable, shape the cereal mixture over foil-wrapped cardboard tubes for similar results.
- These cheesecake tacos are best enjoyed the same day for optimal texture and crunch.
