Ingredients
  

For the Taco Shells
  • 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal Provides the colorful flavor base; feel free to substitute with any equally vibrant cereal.
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Melted; coconut oil serves as a great dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar Adds sweetness; you can reduce the amount for a less sugary taco shell.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese Softened; mascarpone can enrich the filling for a delicious twist.
  • ½ cup granulated sugar Sweetens the filling; consider using powdered sugar for a smoother consistency.
  • ¼ cup sour cream Enhances creaminess and adds tang; Greek yogurt serves as a lighter option.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Infuses depth of flavor; no substitutes recommended as it's essential.
  • ¼ cup heavy cream Whipped into the filling for extra lightness; or use whipped coconut cream for a non-dairy version.
For Decorating and Topping
  • 1 cup Fruity Pebbles Finely crushed; perfect for a colorful sprinkle on your tacos; crushed granola works for a different flavor profile.
  • whipped cream A delightful topping option for added indulgence; choose dairy-free whipped for a vegan twist.
  • fresh berries Introduce a burst of freshness and seasonal color; customize with your favorites.
  • chocolate shavings Add a decorative finish and texture; crushed nuts can give a nutty crunch instead.
  • extra Fruity Pebbles For that extra crunch on top, making each bite even more delightful!

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by pulsing 2 cups of Fruity Pebbles in a food processor until they reach a fine powder. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered cereal with 2 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Scoop the mixture into small circles on a lined baking sheet, shaping them into taco forms. Bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden, then drape warm shells over a rack to cool and hold their shape.
  2. In a large bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with ½ cup of granulated sugar until creamy and smooth. Gradually mix in ¼ cup of sour cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully combined. Pour in ¼ cup of heavy cream and whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy. Chill the filling in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  3. Once the taco shells have cooled, crush additional Fruity Pebbles to create a decorative topping. Dip the edges of each taco shell into the crushed cereal for added crunch. Carefully fill each shell with the chilled cheesecake mixture using a piping bag or spoon for ease. Top off your Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos with luscious whipped cream, a sprinkle of fresh berries, chocolate shavings, and more Fruity Pebbles for a colorful finish.
  4. These Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are best enjoyed fresh, so serve them right after assembling. This ensures the crispy taco shell retains its delightful crunch against the creamy cheesecake filling.
