Instructions
1. Make the Fruity Pebbles Taco Shells
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the Fruity Pebbles cereal until fully coated.
While the mixture is still warm, scoop about ¼ cup of cereal mixture and place it onto parchment paper. Carefully shape it over the back of a wooden spoon, rolling pin, or taco mold to form a taco shape. Hold briefly until it sets. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Let the shells cool and firm up for 15–20 minutes. Once set, gently remove them from the molds and set aside.
2. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and beat until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Fold slowly to keep the filling light and fluffy.
Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake Tacos
Pipe a generous amount of cheesecake filling into each Fruity Pebbles taco shell. Be careful not to overfill, as the shells can be delicate.
Sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles on top and finish with your favorite toppings such as chocolate drizzle, sprinkles, or fresh fruit.
Chill & Serve
Refrigerate the assembled cheesecake tacos for 20–30 minutes to help them set. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
