Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are a playful and colorful dessert that combines creamy cheesecake filling with crunchy taco-shaped cereal shells. The shells are made by mixing Fruity Pebbles cereal with melted butter, pressing the mixture into taco molds, and chilling until set. The cheesecake filling is crafted by blending softened cream cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and whipped cream, resulting in a light and fluffy texture. Once assembled, these vibrant treats are garnished with additional Fruity Pebbles for extra crunch and visual appeal. Perfect for parties or as a fun family activity, these tacos offer a delightful twist on traditional desserts.
3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal
Prepare the shells: In a large bowl, combine the Fruity Pebbles cereal with the melted butter, ensuring each piece is evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into taco-shaped molds or the curved sections of a muffin tin. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the shells are firm.
Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and airy.
Assemble the tacos: Carefully remove the chilled cereal shells from the molds. Fill each shell generously with the cheesecake mixture, using a spoon or piping bag for a neat presentation.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles cereal on top of each taco, pressing gently to adhere. Serve immediately for maximum crunch, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
