Description
Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are a fun and delicious dessert that combines the nostalgic flavor of Fruity Pebbles cereal with a creamy cheesecake filling, all served in a taco-shaped shell made from the cereal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Fruity Pebbles cereal and melted butter in a large mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly to evenly coat all cereal pieces.
- Press the coated cereal mixture firmly into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins, compacting tightly. Refrigerate molds for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until smooth and homogenous.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, maintaining a light and airy texture.
- Once cereal shells are firm, generously spoon cheesecake filling into each shell. Top with additional Fruity Pebbles cereal as garnish.
- Serve immediately for a soft texture, or refrigerate filled tacos for an additional hour for a firmer bite.
Notes
- For a sweeter touch, add more powdered sugar to the cream cheese mixture.
- Using flavored whipped cream can enhance the overall taste.
- These tacos can be made ahead of time, storing the shells separately until ready to serve.
