Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal
For the Taco Shells:
- 6 wonton wrappers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or enough for shallow frying)
For the Fruit Topping:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate while you prepare the taco shells.
Make the Taco Shells:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place one wonton wrapper into the hot oil, pressing down gently with tongs to shape it into a taco form.
- Fry for about 1–2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the shell to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers.
Assemble the Tacos:
- Spoon a generous portion of the chilled cheesecake filling into each crispy taco shell.
- Arrange slices of fresh strawberries and blueberries on top of the filling.
- Drizzle with honey for an extra touch of sweetness, if desired.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve these vibrant tacos immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Watch them disappear in no time!
Tips for the Best Cheesecake Tacos
- Don’t overfry: Lightly golden and crispy is perfect; too dark can make the shell taste bitter.
- Keep it fresh: Assemble right before serving to keep the shells crisp.
- Fruit options: Feel free to add kiwi, raspberries, or mango for even more color and flavor!
