Ingredients
Scale
Taco Shells
- 10 small flour tortillas
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- About 2 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal (divided)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Cheesecake Filling
- 16 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Garnish
- Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal for topping
Instructions
- Prepare Taco Shells: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter. Shape the tortillas into taco shells by pressing them into the spaces between bars of an inverted muffin tin or draping them over oven rack bars to create a taco shape.
- Bake Shells: Place the shaped tortillas in the oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes until they are crisp and lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely to harden and maintain shape.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in short intervals, stirring between each until smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, add milk a little at a time to thin it out for easier dipping.
- Coat Shells with Chocolate and Cereal: Dip the inside of each cooled taco shell into the melted white chocolate, then immediately sprinkle about 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal inside so it sticks to the chocolate. Set aside the coated shells to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and mix well until fully combined.
- Whip Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Filling and Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and creamy, maintaining a fluffy texture.
- Fill Taco Shells: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each prepared taco shell evenly.
- Add Final Toppings: Sprinkle the tops of the filled tacos with the remaining Fruity Pebbles cereal for added color and crunch.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the filled tacos for about 20 minutes to achieve the best texture before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, drizzle melted white chocolate over the filled tacos before adding the final cereal topping.
- These tacos are best served the same day to keep the shells crispy.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
