• 2½ cups mini marshmallows
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter

For the No-Bake Cheesecake Filling:

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream (cold)

Optional Toppings:

• Fresh strawberries, blueberries, or bananas (chopped)
• White chocolate drizzle
• Sprinkles or extra Fruity Pebbles for garnish

Tools You’ll Need

• Saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
• Mixing bowls
• Hand or stand mixer
• Spoon or piping bag
• Muffin tin or rolling pin (for shaping tacos)
• Parchment paper or silicone mat

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Fruity Pebbles Shells
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Remove from heat and stir in Fruity Pebbles cereal until evenly coated.

Step 2: Shape the Taco Shells
Scoop about 2–3 tablespoons of the mixture and flatten it into a small disc on parchment paper.
While still warm, drape each disc over a wooden spoon handle, rolling pin, or between muffin tin cups to form a taco shape.
Let cool completely until firm and crisp.

Step 3: Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble the Tacos
Using a spoon or piping bag, fill each Fruity Pebbles taco shell with the cheesecake mixture.
Top with fresh fruit, a drizzle of melted white chocolate, or a sprinkle of cereal or sprinkles.

Step 5: Chill & Serve
For best texture, chill the tacos in the fridge for 15–30 minutes before serving.
Serve cold and enjoy the colorful crunch with every creamy bite!

Tips for Success
Shape Quickly – The cereal mixture firms up fast, so work quickly when molding.
Use Piping Bag – For a neater and faster way to fill the shells.
Chill for Clean Bites – Cold filling holds its shape better.
Make It a Bar – Set up a taco dessert station and let everyone decorate their own.
Use Silicone – Silicone mats or muffin tins make shaping and clean-up easier.

Serving Suggestions
Birthday Parties – A fun and colorful dessert kids will love.
Potlucks – Serve on a tray for an easy, no-fuss grab-and-go sweet.
Ice Cream Topping – Pair with a scoop of vanilla or strawberry ice cream.
Celebration Treat – Perfect for holidays, baby showers, or graduation parties.

How to Store

Refrigerate:
Best eaten the same day, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Keep uncovered or loosely covered to maintain crispiness.

Freezing:
Not recommended, as the cereal will soften and lose its crunch when thawed.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make the shells in advance?

4. Can I make it dairy-free?
   Use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut whipped topping for a dairy-free version.
