Ingredients for the Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

• Fruity Pebbles cereal: Brings the fun crunch and vibrant colors to the taco shells.
• Small tortillas: Forms the base shell; flour tortillas work best for flexibility.
• White chocolate chips or candy melts: Acts as the glue for sticking the cereal to the shells.
• Cream cheese: The star of the filling, giving that rich, creamy cheesecake flavor.
• Powdered sugar: Sweetens the cheesecake mixture without grittiness.
• Vanilla extract: Adds warmth and depth to the cheesecake filling.
• Heavy whipping cream: Whipped into the filling for an ultra-light, fluffy texture.

How To Make the Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Step 1: Prepare the Taco Shells

Cut small tortillas into circles (if needed) and bake or fry them until crisp. Let them cool slightly, then dip the edges in melted white chocolate and roll them in Fruity Pebbles. Set on parchment paper to harden.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Filling

Beat the cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and fold it gently into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy.

Step 3: Fill the Tacos

Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or use a spoon to fill each taco shell generously.

Step 4: Chill and Serve

Place the filled tacos in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to set. Right before serving, you can sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles on top or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra flair.

Serving and Storing Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Serve these tacos chilled for the ultimate creamy crunch. They’re perfect right out of the fridge and best enjoyed the same day to keep the cereal crisp. If you need to store them, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, but note that the cereal may soften over time. For extra crunch, add a fresh sprinkle of Fruity Pebbles just before serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I keep the Fruity Pebbles from getting soggy?

Can I use other cereals?

Absolutely! Try Cocoa Pebbles, Frosted Flakes, or crushed Oreos for a fun variation.
