Ingredients
- For the Fruity Pebbles Taco Shells:
- 4 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
- For Toppings:
- 1/2 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (for garnish)
- Fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries)
- Whipped cream
- Colorful sprinkles
- Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Taco Shells: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth, about 3-4 minutes.
- Mix the Cereal: Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and salt. Quickly fold in 4 cups of Fruity Pebbles cereal until evenly coated.
- Shape the Shells: Working quickly, divide mixture into 12 equal portions. Place each between parchment paper and roll into 6-inch ovals. Drape over wooden spoon handles to create taco shell curves. Cool for 15 minutes.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla, and sour cream. In separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture.
- Assemble: Remove cooled shells from spoon handles. Fill each shell with cheesecake filling using a piping bag or spoon. Top with extra Fruity Pebbles, fresh berries, and sprinkles.
- Serve: Serve immediately for best texture, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Pro Tips: Work quickly when shaping shells while mixture is still warm. Shells can be made 2 days ahead and stored in airtight container. For best results, assemble tacos just before serving to maintain crispiness. Storage: Assembled tacos keep in refrigerator for up to 2 days. Variations: Try with Lucky Charms, Trix, or other colorful cereals!
