Crunchy Shell
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Garnish
- Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal, for sprinkling
- Prepare the Crunchy Shell: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal with 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter. Stir thoroughly until every cereal piece is evenly coated with butter to help bind the mixture.
- Shape Your Shells: Press the cereal mixture firmly into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins, compacting tightly to hold the shape. Chill the molds in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the shells firmly.
- Whisk Up the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, blending continuously until smooth and creamy.
- Add Airiness: Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula, preserving the light and airy texture for a delicate filling.
- Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells are firm and set, spoon the cheesecake filling generously into each shell, filling them completely for a rich dessert experience.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional Fruity Pebbles cereal over the filled taco shells for added crunch and colorful presentation. Serve immediately for a soft filling or chill for a firmer texture before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature to ensure a smooth cheesecake filling.
- The cereal shells must be pressed tightly and chilled well to maintain the taco shape.
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate the assembled tacos for an hour before serving.
- You can substitute Fruity Pebbles with any other colorful, crunchy cereal to customize the dessert.
- This dessert is best consumed within a day to retain the crunchiness of the cereal shells.
