Instructions
1. Make the Taco Shells
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the Fruity Pebbles cereal, mini marshmallows, and butter. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the marshmallows are fully melted.
Stir in the coconut extract (if using) for a tropical twist. Quickly mix until the cereal is evenly coated.
While still warm, spoon the mixture into taco shell molds or drape it over the handle of a wooden spoon (suspended between two objects) to form taco shapes. Let cool and set until firm.
2. Prepare the Tropical Cheesecake Filling
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold in the crushed pineapple, shredded coconut (if using), and marshmallow creme until fully combined.
Gently stir in the lightly crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal for a fun, crunchy texture.
3. Make the Mango Glaze (Optional)
In a small bowl, whisk together the mango puree, honey, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.
4. Assemble the Tacos
Carefully spoon or pipe the tropical cheesecake filling into the cooled cereal taco shells.
Drizzle the mango glaze over the tacos for a tangy-sweet finish.
Garnish with extra Fruity Pebbles, toasted coconut flakes, and a sprinkle of lime zest.
5. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the tacos for at least 1 hour to firm up the filling.
Serve chilled and enjoy this tropical, crunchy, and creamy delight!
