Ingredients

  • Small Flour Tortillas
  • Vegetable Oil
  • Cinnamon Sugar (1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon)
  • Full-Fat Cream Cheese
  • Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar)
  • Heavy Cream (or Whipping Cream)
  • Vanilla Extract
  • Fruity Pebbles Cereal
  • Optional Toppings (whipped cream, whole Fruity Pebbles, melted white chocolate)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Crispy 'Taco' Shells: Pour enough vegetable oil into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet to create about a 1/2-inch depth and heat over medium heat until it reaches about 350-375°F (175-190°C).
  2. Mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish to prepare your cinnamon sugar.
  3. Carefully place one tortilla into the hot oil and fry for about 15-30 seconds until it starts to puff up and turn golden.
  4. Flip the tortilla and gently fold it in half or drape it over the handle of a wooden spoon to create a taco shell shape, holding it in place for another 15-30 seconds until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Remove the crispy shell from the oil and transfer it to the dish with cinnamon sugar, tossing gently to coat both sides.
  6. Place the coated shell on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil and cool completely. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  7. Make the No-Bake Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened full-fat cream cheese until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  8. Add powdered sugar to the cream cheese and beat on medium speed until well combined and fluffy.
  9. In a separate chilled mixing bowl, pour the very cold heavy cream and vanilla extract, then beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  10. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the cream.
  11. Fold in about 1 cup of Fruity Pebbles cereal, leaving some whole for texture.
  12. Assemble and Chill Your Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos: Once taco shells are completely cool, spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each shell.
  13. Arrange the filled tacos on a serving platter or baking sheet.
  14. Refrigerate the assembled tacos for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour to help the filling firm up.
  15. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle more whole Fruity Pebbles over the top of each taco and add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of melted white chocolate if desired.
  16. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Nutrition

Keywords: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for a smooth filling. Don't overmix the whipped cream to avoid a grainy texture. Assemble the tacos no more than an hour or two before serving for the best texture.
