- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
3. Assemble the Cheesecake Tacos

- Top with fresh fruit, extra Fruity Pebbles, or a drizzle of white chocolate.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving for the best texture.
Tips for the Best Fruity Pebbles Cheesecake Tacos
