Ingredients
Scale
Shells
- 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- Whipped cream
- Extra Fruity Pebbles for garnish
- White chocolate drizzle
- Rainbow sprinkles
- Mini marshmallows
- Sliced strawberries or berries
Instructions
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
- Coat Cereal: Remove the saucepan from heat and gently fold in Fruity Pebbles cereal until each piece is fully coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Form Shells: Working quickly, spoon portions of the coated cereal mixture onto parchment paper or a greased surface. Flatten each portion into a thin circle about 4–5 inches across.
- Shape Tacos: Drape each flattened circle over the backside of a muffin tin or rolling pin to form taco shapes. Allow them to cool and harden for 10–15 minutes.
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then beat until fluffy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully combined.
- Fill Shells: Once the cereal shells are firm, use a piping bag to fill each shell with the prepared cheesecake filling.
- Add Toppings: Top filled tacos with additional whipped cream, extra Fruity Pebbles, white chocolate drizzle, rainbow sprinkles, mini marshmallows, and sliced strawberries or berries as desired.
- Serve or Refrigerate: Serve immediately for best texture or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to allow filling to set further.
Notes
- Work quickly when shaping shells as the marshmallow mixture hardens fast.
- Use a chilled bowl for whipping cream to achieve better volume.
- These cheesecake tacos are best consumed within 2 hours to maintain shell crispness.
- Store refrigerated and covered if making ahead, but assemble toppings fresh before serving.
