Description
Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are a delightful dessert combining colorful cereal shells filled with a creamy cheesecake filling, garnished with extra fruity cereal for added crunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups colorful fruity cereal
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Additional fruity cereal for garnish
Instructions
- Combine fruity cereal with melted butter in a large bowl until every piece is thoroughly coated, ensuring the butter is warm but not hot to preserve cereal colors.
- Press the coated mixture firmly into taco-shaped molds or curved muffin tin sections, creating shells about 1/4 inch thick. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer for 2 minutes until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, scraping the bowl sides frequently for a silky texture.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula, folding lightly from bottom up to maintain airiness without deflating the mixture.
- Fill each chilled shell generously with the cheesecake filling using a spoon or piping bag, slightly overflowing for a generous presentation.
- Sprinkle additional fruity cereal atop each taco, pressing gently to adhere. Serve immediately for maximum crunch or refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is not too hot to avoid melting the cereal colors.
- These tacos are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for short periods.
- Feel free to experiment with different cereal types for varied flavors.
