Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
Assembly
- Mini taco shells or waffle cones (quantity as needed)
- 1 to 1.5 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
Optional Toppings
- Fresh fruit (berries, mango chunks, etc.)
- Chocolate drizzle
- Sprinkles
- Chopped toasted nuts (almonds, pecans)
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Start by beating softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Gently fold in whipped cream to lighten the texture and set the filling aside.
- Prep the Taco Shells: If using mini taco shells, lightly warm them in the oven to make them crisp but not brittle. For waffle cones, ensure they are secured and trim any edges if needed to better fit the filling.
- Fill the Shells with Cheesecake: Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully fill each taco shell with a generous amount of cheesecake mixture. Spread evenly but avoid overfilling to keep the taco shape intact.
- Add Fruity Pebbles and Toppings: Sprinkle a handful of Fruity Pebbles cereal over the cheesecake filling. Add optional toppings such as fresh fruit, chocolate drizzle, or sprinkles if desired.
- Chill and Serve: Place the filled taco shells in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the filling. Serve chilled to enjoy the perfect creamy and crunchy bite every time.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth filling.
- Chill the assembled tacos well to set the filling and maintain shell stability.
- Add Fruity Pebbles cereal just before serving to keep them crunchy.
- Use a piping bag for cleaner and more precise filling.
- For custom shells, bake homemade taco-shaped tortillas until crisp.
