Shell Ingredients
- 3 cups fruity cereal
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
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
Garnish
- Prepare the Crunchy Shell: Combine the fruity cereal and melted unsalted butter in a mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated to ensure the shells hold together well.
- Shape Your Shells: Press the cereal mixture firmly into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins, compacting tightly to form sturdy shells. Chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set properly.
- Whisk Up the Cheesecake Filling: Using a hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar and pure vanilla extract, blending until you achieve a smooth consistency.
- Add Airiness: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula, maintaining the light and fluffy texture without deflating the mixture.
- Assemble the Tacos: Once the cereal shells are firm and well chilled, spoon the creamy cheesecake filling generously into each shell, filling them beautifully.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle additional fruity cereal over the filled shells for extra crunch and vibrant color before serving immediately or refrigerating until ready to serve.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Firmly pressing the cereal mixture into molds helps the shells keep their shape after chilling.
- Use chilled shells for easier filling and better structural integrity.
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of lemon juice or zest to the cheesecake filling.
- These tacos are best enjoyed the same day to keep the cereal shells crunchy.
