3 cups Fruity cereal this is the star component that gives a delightful crunch and vibrant color.
½ cup Unsalted butter melted; helps the cereal stick together for a sturdy shell.

8 oz Cream cheese softened to room temperature; this forms the creamy base of your cheesecake filling.
½ cup Powdered sugar sifted; sweetens the filling while providing a smooth texture.
1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile.
1 cup Whipped cream lightens the filling for a fluffy consistency.

In a mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of fruity cereal with ½ cup of melted unsalted butter. Stir thoroughly until each piece is coated in butter, creating a delectable, crunchy mixture.
Firmly press the cereal mixture into small taco-shaped molds or muffin tins. Chill the formed shells in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
While the shells are chilling, beat 8 oz of softened cream cheese in a bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually add in ½ cup of sifted powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, blending until smooth.
Gently fold 1 cup of whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
Remove the cereal shells from the refrigerator. Generously spoon the cheesecake filling into each shell.
Sprinkle additional fruity cereal over the filled shells. Serve immediately or chill for an additional half-hour.

Make sure to chill the shells for at least 30 minutes to prevent crumbling when filled.
