Description

Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are a playful and colorful dessert that combines crispy, fruity cereal taco shells with a creamy cheesecake filling. These easy-to-make tacos are topped with whipped cream, fresh berries, and chocolate shavings for a fun treat perfect for parties or a delightful dessert.

Ingredients

Taco Shells

  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Coating & Toppings

  • 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal, finely crushed
  • Whipped cream
  • Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Extra Fruity Pebbles cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cereal Crumble: In a food processor, pulse 2 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal until finely ground, or place the cereal in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  2. Make the Taco Shell Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed Fruity Pebbles, melted butter, and granulated sugar; mix thoroughly to combine.
  3. Form the Taco Shells: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Press about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into 4-5 inch circles on the baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  4. Bake the Shells: Bake the circles for 8-10 minutes until the edges are lightly golden and the shells set.
  5. Shape the Shells: Remove the baking sheet and let the circles cool 1-2 minutes. While still pliable, drape each circle over an oven rack bar or muffin tin edge to shape them into taco shells.
  6. Cool and Harden: Allow the taco shells to cool completely and harden for about 15-20 minutes before removing from the shaping tool.
  7. Soften the Cream Cheese: Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth filling.
  8. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup granulated sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  9. Add Sour Cream and Vanilla: Beat in sour cream and vanilla extract until well incorporated.
  10. Incorporate Heavy Cream: Gradually add heavy cream, beating until the filling is light and fluffy.
  11. Chill the Filling: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the filling for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  12. Crush Additional Fruity Pebbles: Place 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles in a bag and crush finely with a rolling pin or meat mallet. Pour into a shallow dish.
  13. Coat Taco Shell Edges: Dip edges of each taco shell into crushed Fruity Pebbles, pressing gently to adhere the cereal.
  14. Fill the Tacos: Remove the filling from the fridge and spoon or pipe it into each taco shell.
  15. Decorate the Tacos: Top with whipped cream, fresh berries, chocolate shavings, and extra Fruity Pebbles cereal as desired.
  16. Serve Immediately: For the best flavor and texture, serve the Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos right away.

Notes

  • Make sure cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Shape the taco shells while warm to prevent cracking.
  • Feel free to customize toppings with nuts, sprinkles, or other favorite candies.
  • Store leftover cheesecake filling in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • These tacos are best enjoyed fresh to maintain crispness of the shells.
