What Kind of Cereal Should I Use for the Shells?
While Fruity Pebbles are the classic and most vibrant choice, you can definitely swap in other colorful cereals like Trix or Froot Loops if that’s what you have on hand. The important thing is choosing a cereal that molds easily when mixed with marshmallows and holds its shape when cooled. Stick with light, crisp options that offer a similar rainbow aesthetic and crunch.
Ingredients for the Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos
- Fruity Pebbles Cereal: This forms the fun, colorful taco shells and brings a sweet crunch.
- Mini Marshmallows: The binder for your cereal shells. When melted, they help shape the shells.
- Butter: Adds richness and smoothness to the melted marshmallow mixture.
- Cream Cheese: The base for the cheesecake filling; smooth, creamy, and slightly tangy.
- Powdered Sugar: Sweetens the cheesecake mixture without adding grit.
- Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor of the filling.
- Heavy Whipping Cream: Whips into a fluffy texture that makes the filling airy and luscious.
- Toppings (optional): Fresh berries, whipped cream, or more Fruity Pebbles for garnish.
How To Make the Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos
Step 1: Make the Taco Shells
Melt butter and mini marshmallows in a pan over low heat. Stir until completely smooth. Add Fruity Pebbles and mix until the cereal is fully coated. Scoop small amounts onto parchment paper and mold quickly into taco shell shapes using a wooden spoon handle or similar curved tool. Let them set.
Step 2: Whip the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
Step 3: Fill and Decorate
Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag and pipe into each cooled taco shell. Top with fresh berries, extra Fruity Pebbles, or whipped cream for added flair.
Step 4: Chill and Serve
Chill the tacos in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help the filling firm up. Serve cold for the best texture and flavor.
Serving and Storing These Cheesecake Tacos
These Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are best enjoyed fresh and cold. They serve about 6 to 8 people, depending on how generously you fill them. If you’re prepping ahead, store the shells and filling separately. Assembled tacos can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours, but the shells may soften slightly over time.
