Ingredients

Scale

Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Main Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar

Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Toppings:

  • Extra Pebbles cereal
  • Whipped cream
  • Sprinkles
  • White chocolate drizzle

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vibrant Fruity Pebbles taco shells by gently melting butter in a medium saucepan over low heat, then gradually incorporate marshmallows until completely smooth and glossy.
  2. Remove the marshmallow mixture from heat and thoroughly fold in Fruity Pebbles cereal, ensuring each colorful morsel is evenly coated.
  3. While the mixture remains warm and pliable, carefully mold approximately two tablespoons of the mixture over the back of a greased utensil, creating a curved taco shell shape.
  4. Place each formed shell on a parchment-lined baking sheet, allowing them to cool and solidify completely. Repeat the process until all mixture is used.
  5. In a spacious mixing bowl, whip cream cheese until ultra-smooth and creamy, then gradually blend in powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
  6. In a separate bowl, vigorously whip heavy cream until it forms distinct, sturdy peaks that hold their shape.
  7. Delicately fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light, airy cheesecake filling with a uniform texture.
  8. Generously fill each crisp Fruity Pebbles taco shell with the luscious cheesecake mixture, using a spoon or piping bag for precision.
  9. Embellish the filled tacos with additional Fruity Pebbles, dollops of whipped cream, or your preferred decorative toppings.
  10. For a firmer consistency, refrigerate the completed dessert for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Experiment with different cereal flavors like Cocoa Pebbles or Cinnamon Toast Crunch for unique variations that add exciting twists to the classic recipe.
  • Ensure marshmallows are completely melted and mixed with cereal to create sturdy, crisp taco shells that hold their shape without crumbling.
  • For gluten-free alternatives, use certified gluten-free crispy rice cereal and check marshmallow brands to accommodate dietary restrictions.
  • Chill the cheesecake filling for 30 minutes before piping to achieve a firmer, more stable texture that makes decorating and serving easier.
