Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Taco Shells

Making your own dessert taco shells is easier than you think!

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brush each small flour tortilla with melted butter on both sides.
  3. In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon.
  4. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over both sides of each tortilla.
  5. Drape each tortilla over two bars of your oven rack to form a taco shape. Pro tip: place a baking sheet underneath to catch drips or fallen sugar.
  6. Bake for 6–8 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  7. Let the shells cool completely on a wire rack before filling.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add in the sour cream and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until well incorporated.
  3. Fold in the crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal gently to preserve their texture.
