Ingredients
Scale
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Shells & Coating
- Mini waffle cones or mini taco shells (quantity as needed for serving)
- 1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal (for coating)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with sugar until smooth and lump-free. Gently fold in whipped cream and vanilla extract to create a light and creamy filling that spreads easily.
- Assemble the Taco Shells: Use mini waffle cones or pre-made taco shells as your dessert base. If using waffle cones, gently flatten them into a taco shell shape that holds filling and toppings.
- Fill the Tacos: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly into each shell to ensure consistent flavor in every bite.
- Coat with Fruity Pebbles: Press the outside edges of each filled taco into a bowl of Fruity Pebbles cereal so they stick, adding crunch and vibrant color. Alternatively, sprinkle cereal on top if preferred.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the assembled tacos for at least 30 minutes to let the filling firm up and flavors meld beautifully.
Notes
- Chill the cream cheese until softened but cool for easier mixing and smooth texture.
- Use fresh homemade whipped cream for superior lightness and flavor.
- Press the Fruity Pebbles gently to avoid crushing the cereal.
- Serve the tacos within a few hours of assembling for the best texture and crunch.
- Experiment with different shells such as sugar cones or cinnamon waffle cones for new flavor dimensions.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Freeze the cheesecake filling separately if desired, but avoid freezing once cereal coating is applied to prevent sogginess.
- Serve tacos cold; if needed, let sit at room temperature 10-15 minutes before eating.
