Ingredients
- 3 cups Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream
- Additional Fruity Pebbles cereal for topping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the Fruity Pebbles and melted butter. Stir thoroughly to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
- Press the cereal mixture into taco-shaped molds or the underside of a muffin tin to form shells. Compact tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Once the cereal shells are set, spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each one generously.
- Top with additional Fruity Pebbles for a colorful finish. Serve immediately, or chill further for a firmer texture.
Recipe Notes & Tips
- Shape Alternatives: If you don’t have taco molds, use the back of a muffin tin and mold the cereal mixture into half-circles.
- Filling Flavor: Add a bit of lemon zest or a touch of almond extract to the filling for an extra flavor kick.
- Make Ahead: The cereal shells and cheesecake filling can be prepped separately a day in advance—just assemble before serving to retain the crunch.
