Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Toppings & Assembly
- Mini taco shells (about 12 shells)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. This will add lightness to the cheesecake filling.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully to maintain a fluffy texture without deflating the whipped cream.
- Fill the Taco Shells: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling evenly into each mini taco shell, filling them generously but without overfilling to avoid spilling.
- Add Strawberry Topping: Top each filled taco shell with a good amount of chopped fresh strawberries to add a juicy freshness and vibrant color.
- Sprinkle Graham Cracker Crumbs: Lightly sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the strawberries to add a slight crunch and classic cheesecake flavor.
- Chill and Serve: Place the assembled dessert tacos in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to allow the filling to firm up slightly before serving. Enjoy chilled for best taste.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese and heavy whipping cream for the creamiest texture.
- Mini taco shells can be store-bought or homemade; choose sturdy shells that won’t crack easily.
- For extra flavor, zest a little lemon into the cheesecake filling.
- These tacos are best served the same day but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Substitute strawberries with other fresh berries like blueberries or raspberries for variety.
