Why You’ll Love This Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

These tacos are more than just a dessert—they’re a full sensory experience. The crispy, sweet shell has that familiar cereal crunch with a hint of marshmallow-like chewiness, while the silky cheesecake filling adds a creamy contrast. Plus, they’re no-bake once the shells are prepared, making them convenient for warm weather or when you want something impressive without too much fuss.

How Do You Shape The Taco Shells?

The magic of these tacos is in shaping the Fruity Pebbles mixture while it’s still pliable. You’ll scoop warm, sticky cereal mixture onto a rolling pin or the edge of a baking dish to create that signature taco curve. A little patience and quick hands make all the difference, and you’ll have adorable, colorful shells ready to fill in no time.

Ingredients for the Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Fruity Pebbles cereal brings the iconic rainbow color and crunchy texture that makes these tacos irresistible. Marshmallows help bind the cereal together while adding that soft, chewy sweetness that keeps the shell intact. Butter gives the cereal mixture a rich, melt-in-your-mouth finish. Cream cheese is the star of the filling, creating a creamy, tangy base. Powdered sugar sweetens the cheesecake filling just enough, while vanilla extract enhances the flavor with a warm note. Heavy cream adds lightness and volume, turning the filling into a fluffy dream.

How To Make the Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

Step 1: Prepare The Shells

Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth. Pour in the Fruity Pebbles cereal and gently fold until fully coated.

Step 2: Shape The Tacos

While the mixture is still warm, scoop portions and press them over a rolling pin or the edge of a baking dish to form a taco shape. Let them cool completely to set.

Step 3: Make The Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy. Gradually pour in heavy cream and whip until fluffy and light.

Step 4: Assemble The Tacos

Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the cooled Fruity Pebbles taco shells. Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the filling firm up slightly before serving.

How to Serve and Store Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos

These colorful tacos are best served chilled, right after filling, when the shells are crisp and the cheesecake is creamy and cool. They’re ideal for parties, birthday celebrations, or just as a whimsical dessert for family night. This recipe makes about 8 to 10 tacos, perfect for serving 4 to 6 people. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Note that the shells may soften slightly over time, but the flavors remain delightful.
