Description
Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are a fun and colorful dessert that combines the creamy richness of cheesecake with the crunch of Fruity Pebbles cereal. These tacos are easy to assemble, visually appealing, and perfect for a special treat at any celebration.
Ingredients
3 cups colorful Fruity Pebbles cereal
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream
Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix the Fruity Pebbles cereal with melted butter until each piece is well-coated.
- Press the cereal mixture into taco-shaped molds or the curved sections of a muffin tin. Ensure the mixture is compact and firm to hold its shape.
- Refrigerate the shaped shells for at least 30 minutes, allowing them to set.
- In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light and fluffy filling.
- Once the cereal shells are firm, remove them from the molds. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each shell.
- Sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles over the top of each taco for added crunch and a pop of color. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to keep the shells crisp.
Notes
- For a berry twist, add diced strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries to the cheesecake filling.
- For a richer flavor, drizzle melted chocolate over the top of the tacos before serving.
- To make this dessert vegan-friendly, use plant-based cream cheese and whipped cream.
- If the cereal shells are too fragile, add more melted butter to the mixture and press it more firmly into the molds.
