Ingredients
Scale
For the Cereal Shells
- 3 cups fruity cereal (any brand)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (freshly whipped)
- Additional fruity cereal (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cereal Mixture: In a mixing bowl, stir together 3 cups of fruity cereal and 1/2 cup melted butter until each piece is evenly coated. The mixture should feel sticky and colorful!
- Form the Taco Shells: Press the cereal mixture firmly into taco-shaped molds or muffin tins. Make sure to compact it well, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the shells are set.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually blend in 1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in the Whipped Cream: Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix; you want it to stay light and airy!
- Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells are firm, generously spoon the cheesecake filling into each shell. Let every bite be a surprise of creamy sweetness!
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional fruity cereal over the filled shells for a burst of color and crunch just before serving. It enhances both the look and texture!
Notes
- Be sure to compact the cereal mixture firmly into the molds to ensure the shells hold their shape.
- If you don’t have taco-shaped molds, muffin tins or small bowls can be used to shape the shells.
- Keep the assembled tacos refrigerated until ready to serve for best texture and freshness.
- Feel free to use any colorful fruity cereal to customize the flavor and appearance.
- Use freshly whipped cream for best texture in the filling, or carefully fold in store-bought whipped topping.
