Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are a fun and colorful dessert that combines crunchy cereal shells with a creamy cheesecake filling, topped with extra fruity cereal for a delightful treat.

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Fill each chilled shell generously with the cheesecake filling using a spoon or piping bag, slightly overflowing for a generous presentation.
  6. 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.
