Ingredients
Scale
Crunchy Shell
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
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
Garnish
- Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal
Instructions
- Prepare the Crunchy Shell: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal with 1/2 cup of melted unsalted butter. Stir thoroughly until every piece of cereal is evenly coated with the butter.
- Shape Your Shells: Press the cereal and butter mixture firmly into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins. Make sure to compact the mixture tightly so the shells hold their shape. Place the molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Whisk Up the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese until the texture is light and fluffy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, blending continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Airiness: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold carefully to maintain a light and airy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
- Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells have firmed up in the refrigerator, generously spoon the cheesecake filling into each shell, filling them completely.
- Garnish and Serve: Finally, sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles cereal over the filled cheesecake tacos for extra color and crunch. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth filling without lumps.
- Press the cereal mixture firmly into molds to prevent the shells from crumbling.
- Chilling time is essential for the shells to harden properly; do not skip refrigeration.
- For an extra touch, you can drizzle some melted white chocolate over the tacos before serving.
- These tacos are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
