3) Ingredients for Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Fruity Pebbles cereal – Bright, crunchy, and full of that wild fruit flavor, this cereal forms the outer shell of our taco and makes everything way more fun.

Mini marshmallows – These melt down into the glue that holds our cereal together. You’ll want them soft and gooey to get the texture just right.

Butter – A little butter makes the marshmallows smoother and gives that golden richness to the cereal shells.

Cream cheese – This is the cheesecake base. Make sure it’s softened so you’re not fighting it when mixing.

Powdered sugar – It blends smoothly into the cream cheese and adds that sweet, velvety finish you expect in easy cheesecake recipes.

Vanilla extract – Adds depth and that little bit of warmth. Without it, the filling feels like it’s missing something.

Whipped topping – Folded into the cream cheese, this lightens the mixture and turns it into a fluffy cloud you’ll want to nap in.

Optional garnishes – I like sprinkles and extra Fruity Pebbles. Go wild. There are no rules in taco dessert land.

4) How to Make Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Step 1. Melt butter and marshmallows in a saucepan over low heat, stirring until smooth. This is your glue. Get it melty but not scorched.

Step 2. Stir in the Fruity Pebbles until they’re all coated. Scoop spoonfuls onto a lightly greased surface or foil taco mold.

Step 3. Shape into taco shells by folding them gently over a rolling pin or any round handle. Let cool completely. They’ll set firm in about 10 minutes.

Step 4. In a bowl, whip softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until creamy. Scrape the sides, and keep whipping until smooth.

Step 5. Gently fold in the whipped topping. Don’t stir too hard or you’ll lose that fluffy cheesecake texture.

Step 6. Spoon or pipe the mixture into each taco shell. Try not to eat half the filling straight from the bowl — I failed here, but you might have more willpower.

Step 7. Top with sprinkles or more cereal if you like. Chill if you’re not eating them right away. Or don’t. I won’t judge.

5) Tips for Making Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Work quickly with the cereal mixture. Once it cools, it’s harder to mold into tacos. Have your shaping tools ready before you melt the marshmallows.

Spray your hands lightly with oil or butter if the mixture sticks. It’s sticky stuff. Also, shaping the tacos while they’re warm gives the best result.

Don’t overmix the cheesecake filling. Stir just until combined and creamy. Overworking it flattens that lovely whipped texture. And that texture? It’s the magic in these sweet easy recipes.

6) Making Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos Ahead of Time

You can totally make the cereal shells a day or two ahead. Just store them in an airtight container once they’re firm. Keep them cool and dry so they stay crisp.

The cheesecake filling? Whip it up, cover it tight, and keep it chilled. Then when you’re ready to serve, fill the shells and top with sprinkles for that fresh finish.

Keeping the two parts separate means they won’t get soggy. And if you’re planning for a party, this lets you look like a dessert genius with barely any last-minute work.

7) Storing Leftover Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

If you somehow manage to have leftovers, pop them into a container with a lid. They’ll stay good in the fridge for up to three days.

The shells will soften over time. Still tasty, just not as crunchy. If that bugs you, store extra filling and shells separately and only assemble what you plan to eat that day.

Oh, and don’t freeze them. That filling doesn’t like the cold like that. It turns grainy, and nobody wants grainy cheesecake in their life.
