A fun and colorful dessert, Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos feature crispy fruity cereal shells filled with a light, creamy cheesecake filling, perfect for a playful treat that combines texture and flavor in every bite.

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 in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated to ensure the cereal binds well for shaping.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells are firm, spoon the cheesecake filling generously into each shell, filling them carefully to avoid cracking.
  6. 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.
