🛒 Ingredients

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons sour cream
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal

For the Taco Shells:

6 small flour tortillas
2 tablespoons butter, melted
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Optional Garnish:

Whipped cream
Extra Fruity Pebbles for topping

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Taco Shells

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush each tortilla on both sides with melted butter.
Mix cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle the mix over both sides of each tortilla.
Drape tortillas over two bars of your oven rack to shape into tacos. Place a baking sheet underneath to catch drips.
Bake for 6–8 minutes until golden and crisp. Remove carefully and let cool on a wire rack.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and fluffy.
Add the sour cream and vanilla extract. Continue beating until well combined.
Gently fold in the crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal. Don’t overmix!

3. Assemble the Tacos

Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each cooled taco shell.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a generous sprinkle of Fruity Pebbles.

4. Chill Before Serving

Refrigerate filled tacos for at least 30 minutes to let the filling firm up.
Serve cold and enjoy every bite of fruity cheesecake magic! 🧁

📸 Presentation Tips

Arrange on a colorful platter lined with parchment paper for a vibrant display.
