Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Taco Shells: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange taco shells on a baking sheet and warm them in the oven for about 10 minutes until crispy.
Create the Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and granulated sugar. Beat them together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add Flavor and Texture: Mix in vanilla extract until incorporated. Gradually fold in heavy whipping cream until fully combined, creating a light and airy mixture.
Fill Those Tacos!: Spoon generous amounts of cheesecake filling into each taco shell. Don’t be shy here—an overflowing taco means more deliciousness!
Crown with Fruity Pebbles: Sprinkle a hearty layer of Fruity Pebbles on top of each filled taco. This adds color and that signature crunch we all adore.
Chill Before Serving: For best results, refrigerate your tacos for 30 minutes before serving. This allows all flavors to meld beautifully together.
Now you’re all set! These Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos are guaranteed to bring smiles all around. Whether you’re hosting friends or treating yourself after a long week, enjoy every colorful bite!
