Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos combine a crunchy fruity cereal shell with a smooth, fluffy cheesecake filling for a playful and delicious dessert that’s easy to make and visually appealing.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crunchy Shell

  • 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream

For Garnish

  • Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crunchy Shell: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal with 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Stir thoroughly to ensure every piece is evenly coated with butter, which will help the mixture hold together.
  2. Shape Your Shells: Press the cereal mixture firmly into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins. Make sure to compact the mixture tightly so it forms a sturdy shell. Place the shaped shells in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, which helps them set properly.
  3. Whisk Up the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese until it becomes light and fluffy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, continuing to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Airiness: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Carefully incorporate the whipped cream to maintain a light, airy texture without deflating the mixture.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells are firm, spoon a generous amount of the cheesecake filling into each shell, filling them nicely without overstuffing.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles cereal over the filled shells for extra crunch and color. Serve immediately for a soft shell texture, or chill for a firmer texture before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for the smoothest filling.
  • Press the cereal mixture firmly into the molds to prevent the shells from crumbling when filled.
  • For a firmer shell and filling, refrigerate the assembled tacos for an additional 30 minutes before serving.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • To make the whipped cream from scratch, beat heavy cream with a little sugar until stiff peaks form.
