Ingredients
Scale
3 cups colorful fruity cereal
0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
0.5 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
Additional fruity cereal for garnish
Instructions
Combine fruity cereal with melted butter in a large bowl until every piece is thoroughly coated, ensuring the butter is warm but not hot to preserve cereal colors.
Press the coated mixture firmly into taco-shaped molds or curved muffin tin sections, creating shells about 1/4 inch thick. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, scraping the bowl sides frequently for a silky texture.
Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, folding lightly from bottom up to maintain airiness without deflating the mixture.
Fill each chilled shell generously with the cheesecake filling using a spoon or piping bag, slightly overflowing for a generous presentation.
Sprinkle additional fruity cereal atop each taco, pressing gently to adhere. Serve immediately for maximum crunch or refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure the butter is warm but not hot when mixing with the cereal.
Chilling the shells is crucial for maintaining their shape.
The cheesecake filling can be prepared ahead of time for convenience.
For a more colorful presentation, use a variety of fruity cereals.
