4.7 from 85 reviews

These Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos offer a fun and colorful twist on traditional cheesecake by using a crunchy fruity cereal shell filled with a creamy, fluffy cheesecake mixture. Perfect for a playful dessert that combines texture and flavor with vibrant presentation.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Crunchy Shell

  • 3 cups fruity cereal
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whipped cream

For Garnish

  • Additional fruity cereal

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crunchy Shell: Combine the fruity cereal and melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated with the butter, ensuring the cereal will stick together to form a firm shell.
  2. Shape Your Shells: Press the cereal mixture firmly into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins. Compact tightly to make sure the shells hold their shape, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
  3. Whisk Up the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. Add Airiness: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula. This step keeps the filling light and airy, perfect for a soft and creamy texture.
  5. Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells are firm and chilled, spoon the cheesecake filling generously into each shell, filling them carefully without breaking the delicate crust.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional fruity cereal over the filled cheesecake tacos for an extra crunch and colorful finish. Serve immediately or keep chilled until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened at room temperature for a lump-free filling.
  • Press the cereal tightly into the molds to avoid cracking when removing.
  • You can substitute whipped cream with whipped topping if preferred.
  • Chill assembled tacos for 10–15 minutes before serving for best consistency.
  • This dessert is best consumed on the day it’s made to maintain shell crunchiness.
