How to Make Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos
Step 1: Make the Shells
Melt butter and marshmallows in a pan over low heat. Stir until smooth. Add Fruity Pebbles and mix quickly.
Step 2: Shape the Tacos
While still warm, place spoonfuls of the mix on parchment. Flatten into small circles. Drape over a rolling pin or muffin tin to create a taco shape. Let them cool and harden.
Step 3: Make the Filling
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until fluffy. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mix.
Step 4: Fill the Tacos
Use a spoon or piping bag to fill the cereal shells with the cheesecake filling.
Step 5: Add Toppings
Add fruits, sprinkles, or more cereal on top. Chill for 30 minutes before serving.
Helpful Tips
- Work quickly when shaping the cereal tacos.
- Grease your hands with a little butter to avoid sticking.
- Let cream cheese soften before mixing for smooth filling.
- Chill the filled tacos before serving to keep them crisp.
Avoid These Mistakes
- Don’t overheat the marshmallows—they’ll harden fast.
- Don’t wait too long to shape the tacos—they firm up quickly.
- Don’t use cold cream cheese—it will make the filling lumpy.
Fun Serving Ideas

Storage Tips
- Unfilled shells: Store in a sealed container for 1–2 days.
