Full Recipe:
For the Shell:
3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
For Garnish:
Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal
Prepare the Shells:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Fruity Pebbles cereal with the melted butter, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Press the mixture firmly into taco-shaped molds or the backs of muffin tins to form the shells.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the shells to set and harden.
Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and airy.
Assemble the Tacos:
Once the shells have set, carefully remove them from the molds.
Fill each shell with the cheesecake mixture, using a spoon or piping bag for precision.
Top with additional Fruity Pebbles cereal for garnish.
Serve:
Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
