Powdered sugar: Sweetens the cheesecake mix to perfection without graininess.

How To Make the Easy Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos Recipe

Step 1: Make the Cereal Shells

Melt butter and marshmallows in a pan, stirring until smooth. Dip each tortilla into the mixture, then press into Fruity Pebbles to coat both sides. Drape over a wooden spoon handle or taco rack to set into taco shape. Let cool on parchment paper.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then fold in whipped topping or whipped heavy cream. Transfer to a piping bag for easy filling.

Step 3: Assemble the Tacos

Pipe or spoon cheesecake filling generously into each cereal shell. Finish with a sprinkle of extra Fruity Pebbles or colorful sprinkles on top.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Chill tacos for 15–30 minutes for best texture, or serve immediately if you can’t wait. Enjoy these colorful cheesecake delights!

Serving and Storing Easy Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Serve these tacos chilled for the perfect combination of crunchy shell and creamy filling. They make a fabulous dessert platter at parties or a surprise sweet treat for family nights. Arrange them upright in a taco holder or nestle them gently on a platter with parchment to keep their shape.

For storing, place the assembled tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Keep in mind, the shells may soften slightly over time, but they’ll still taste amazing!

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance can I make these tacos?

You can make them up to a day ahead. For best texture, store the shells and filling separately, then assemble just before serving.

Can I use a different cereal?

Absolutely! Cocoa Pebbles, Rice Krispies, or even Cornflakes can work for a fun twist.

How do I keep the shells crisp?

Make sure the marshmallow coating sets completely before adding the filling. Assemble close to serving time for maximum crunch.

Can I make them gluten-free?

Yes! Use gluten-free tortillas or swap for a gluten-free cereal base to adapt the recipe.

Can I freeze these tacos?

Freezing isn’t recommended as the shells lose their crisp texture when thawed. Stick to refrigerating for short-term storage.
