  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 6 tacos 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Fruity Pebbles Cereal
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 6 taco shells or waffle cones
  • 2 tablespoons butter (for homemade shells or adding richness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in whipped cream to lighten the mixture and achieve a fluffy cheesecake texture.
  2. Ready the Taco Shells: If using pre-made taco shells or waffle cones, warm them slightly to make pliable and crispy. For homemade shells, melt butter and lightly toast tortillas until perfectly crunchy.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: Spoon or pipe generous dollops of cheesecake filling into each taco shell, spreading evenly without overstuffing to prevent breaking the shells.
  4. Add the Fruity Pebbles Topping: Immediately after filling, sprinkle a layer of Fruity Pebbles cereal over the top so they stick to the creamy filling and retain their crunch.
  5. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled tacos in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the filling to set slightly, enhancing both texture and flavor before enjoying.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, silky filling.
  • Pipe the filling for a neater, more professional look instead of spooning.
  • Serve immediately after topping to keep Fruity Pebbles crunchy.
  • Keep taco shells cool and dry; assemble close to serving time to avoid sogginess.
  • Try different shells like waffle cones or homemade cookie shells for unique textures.
