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
- Prepare the Crunchy Shell: Combine the fruity cereal and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated to ensure the cereal binds well for shaping.
- Shape Your Shells: Press the cereal mixture firmly into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins. Compact the mixture tightly to form sturdy shells and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Whisk Up the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Add Airiness: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula to preserve the light, airy texture without deflating the filling.
- Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells are firm, spoon the cheesecake filling generously into each shell, filling them carefully to avoid cracking.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional fruity cereal over the filled shells for extra crunch and color. Serve immediately for a crunchy texture or chill to let the filling set firmer.
Notes
- For sturdier shells, use taco molds and press the cereal mixture firmly for better shape retention.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Fold whipped cream gently to keep the filling fluffy.
- Serve immediately for best crunch; chilling thickens the filling but softens the shells slightly.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
