A mixing bowl and an electric mixer help make the filling smooth and creamy. A taco rack or aluminum foil helps shape your taco shells. Lastly, a baking sheet is essential for baking the shells. To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles with 1/2 cup of crushed graham crackers. Stir well to combine. Next, add 4 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until it looks like damp sand that sticks together. Now, shape this mixture into taco shells. You can use a taco rack or make shapes with aluminum foil for support. Press down firmly to keep them stable while baking. Place the taco shells in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden brown and crisp. Let them cool completely before moving on. In a large bowl, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it's smooth and creamy. Gradually add 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until everything is well combined and smooth. Next, fold in 1 cup of whipped cream carefully. Use a gentle motion to keep the mixture airy. Avoid over-mixing so that the filling stays fluffy and light. Once your taco shells are cool, fill each one with the cheesecake filling. Spoon generous amounts into each shell, but don't overfill. Top the filled tacos with fresh fruit, like strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi. Finally, sprinkle extra Fruity Pebbles on top for a fun crunch and colorful look.

You can also mix in some berries for a colorful twist. For toppings, consider using chocolate sauce or a drizzle of honey. These add extra flavor and fun! For a gluten-free version, swap the graham crackers for gluten-free options. You can use crushed gluten-free cookies or even nuts. This keeps the crunchy base while making it safe for those with gluten issues. Always check labels to ensure all ingredients are gluten-free. You can boost the cheesecake flavor with different extracts. Try almond or coconut for a fun twist. Adding a little lemon juice gives a nice zing too! You could even fold in chocolate chips for a richer taste. These small changes can create a whole new dessert experience!

After that, the taco shells may get soggy, and the fresh fruit may not look as bright. Enjoy them soon for the best taste and texture! You can freeze the cheesecake filling separately from the taco shells. Place the filling in a freezer-safe container for up to a month. You can freeze the taco shells too, but they should be stored in a separate container. Just remember to thaw them before you fill them. Yes, you can make the taco shells ahead of time. They stay fresh for a few days. Just store them in an airtight container. You can also prepare the cheesecake filling early. Keep it in the fridge until you are ready to assemble.

Ingredients
  

1 cup Fruity Pebbles cereal

1/2 cup crushed graham crackers

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)

1 cup assorted fresh fruit (suggestions: sliced strawberries, blueberries, diced kiwi)

Extra Fruity Pebbles for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare Taco Shells: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the Fruity Pebbles and crushed graham crackers, stirring well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

    Gradually incorporate the melted butter into the cereal-cracker mixture, mixing thoroughly until it resembles damp sand that holds together when pressed.

      Shape the mixture into taco shells using a taco rack, or mold custom taco shapes with aluminum foil for support. Press firmly to ensure they retain their shape during baking.

        Place the formed taco shells in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crisp. Once baked, allow the shells to cool completely while you prepare the cheesecake filling.

          Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.

            Carefully fold in the whipped cream, ensuring to maintain airiness in the mixture by using a gentle motion. Avoid over-mixing to keep the filling fluffy.

              Assemble Tacos: Once the taco shells are completely cool, spoon generous amounts of the cheesecake filling into each shell, taking care not to overfill.

                Decorate each filled taco with an array of fresh fruit on top, and finish with a sprinkle of additional Fruity Pebbles for an extra crunch and colorful presentation.
