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 for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crunchy Shell: Combine the fruity cereal and melted butter thoroughly in a mixing bowl until each piece of cereal is evenly coated, creating a sticky mixture that will hold shape.
  2. Shape Your Shells: Press the cereal mixture firmly into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins, ensuring the mixture is compacted tightly to prevent crumbling. Refrigerate the shaped shells for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Whisk Up the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Airiness: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, taking care not to deflate the mixture, to maintain a light and airy texture perfect for filling.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells are firm, spoon the cheesecake filling generously into each shell, filling them evenly to the edges.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles cereal over the filled taco shells for extra crunch and color. Serve immediately for a soft shell texture or chill in the refrigerator for a firmer cheesecake filling.

Notes

  • For best results, soften the cream cheese to room temperature before mixing to avoid lumps.
  • The taco molds or muffin tins ensure the cereal shells hold their shape; if unavailable, shape by hand but chill well to firm.
  • If you prefer a less sweet dessert, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
  • Store leftover tacos in the refrigerator in an airtight container and consume within 2 days.
  • Adding whipped cream gives the filling a lighter texture; you can substitute with whipped topping if preferred.
