Ingredients
  

Taco Shells
  • 5 cups (150g) Fruity Pebbles Cereal Plus extra for garnish
  • 10 oz (283g) Mini Marshmallows Fresh is best
  • 4 tbsp (57g) Unsalted Butter Cut into cubes
Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz (226g) Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (120g) Powdered Sugar Sifted
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) Heavy Whipping Cream Chilled
  • 1 tsp (5ml) Vanilla Bean Paste Or vanilla extract

Equipment

  • 1 Medium Saucepan For melting marshmallows and butter.
  • 1 Taco rack or muffin tin Used to shape the cereal shells into crescents.
  • 1 Piping Bag with Star Tip To create the smooth cheesecake swirl.

Method
 

Prepare the Cereal Shells
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and marshmallows, stirring until completely smooth.
  2. Stir in the cereal until coated. Scoop 1/3 cup portions onto parchment paper and flatten into 4-inch circles.
  3. Drape warm circles over a taco rack or inverted muffin tin to create a crescent shape. Let set for 20 minutes.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
  1. Cream together softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and lump-free.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture.
Assembly
  1. Transfer filling to a piping bag. Pipe a thick swirl into each cooled shell and garnish with loose Fruity Pebbles.

Notes

If the cereal mixture becomes too hard to work with, pop it back on the low heat for 30 seconds to soften.
Store unfilled shells in an airtight container for up to 3 days; fill just before serving.
