Instructions
Step 1: Make the Fruity Pebbles Taco Shells
These taco shells are basically Fruity Pebbles cereal treats shaped into taco form.
-
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Add in the mini marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
-
Remove from heat and quickly stir in the Fruity Pebbles cereal until well combined.
-
While the mixture is still warm and pliable, spoon portions onto a greased surface or parchment paper.
-
Use a rolling pin to flatten each portion into a thin circle (around 4-5 inches).
-
Carefully fold each circle over a wooden spoon handle, rolling pin, or taco mold to shape like a taco shell.
-
Let set for 15–20 minutes, or until firm enough to hold their shape.
💡 Pro Tip: Work quickly—the cereal mixture hardens fast. Grease your hands to prevent sticking!
Step 2: Make the No-Bake Cheesecake Filling
While your taco shells cool, whip up this luscious cheesecake filling.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
-
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined and fluffy.
-
Transfer the filling into a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with the tip cut off) for easy assembly.
Step 3: Assemble the Cheesecake Tacos
Now the fun part—filling and decorating!
-
Pipe the cheesecake mixture into each taco shell, filling generously.
-
Top with whipped cream, extra Fruity Pebbles, sprinkles, or fresh fruit.
-
Optional: Drizzle with melted white chocolate for extra flair.
