Main Ingredients:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal
- 6 wonton wrappers
Cheesecake Filling Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Fruit and Garnish Ingredients:
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) honey
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) vegetable oil
Instructions
- Whip cream cheese using a hand mixer until silky and uniformly smooth.
- Incorporate sugar, sour cream, and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly until mixture becomes consistent.
- Delicately integrate crushed Fruity Pebbles cereal into the cheesecake mixture, ensuring even distribution.
- Refrigerate filling while preparing taco shells.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet to medium temperature (approximately 350°F).
- Submerge a wonton wrapper into hot oil, using tongs to gently curve it into a taco shape.
- Fry each wrapper for 1-2 minutes per side until achieving a golden, crisp texture.
- Remove shells and place on paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat frying process with remaining wonton wrappers.
- Once shells have cooled slightly, fill each crisp shell with chilled cheesecake mixture.
- Artfully arrange fresh strawberry and blueberry slices atop the filled tacos.
- Optional: Drizzle honey for additional sweetness and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately to maintain optimal crispness and flavor profile.
Notes
- Chill cream cheese beforehand to achieve a smoother, lump-free mixture that blends effortlessly.
- Use room temperature ingredients for better incorporation and a silkier cheesecake filling.
- Drain fried wonton shells on a wire rack instead of paper towels to maintain maximum crispiness and prevent sogginess.
- Control oil temperature around 350°F for perfectly golden and crisp taco shells without burning.
