Ingredients
Scale
Taco Shells
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Toppings (optional)
- Extra Fruity Pebbles cereal
- Fresh berries
- White chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the taco shells: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and mini marshmallows by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Mix in the cereal: Quickly fold in the Fruity Pebbles cereal until they are evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Shape the shells: While the mixture is still warm, press small portions over the back of a greased muffin tin or use a taco shaper to form taco shell shapes. Make sure to shape each shell carefully to maintain its form.
- Set the shells: Allow the shaped shells to cool completely and firm up. Place them in the fridge to speed up the chilling process if desired.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks to create a light and airy texture.
- Combine filling ingredients: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fluffy and well combined, being careful not to deflate the cream.
- Fill the taco shells: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the cooled Fruity Pebbles taco shells, filling them generously.
- Garnish and serve: Top each filled taco with extra Fruity Pebbles, and optionally add fresh berries or a drizzle of melted white chocolate for extra flavor and presentation. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.
Notes
- Assemble the tacos just before serving to keep the shells crisp and crunchy.
- Store extra taco shells and cheesecake filling separately in airtight containers to maintain freshness.
- This fun and colorful dessert is perfect for kids’ parties, celebrations, and festive occasions.
