Ingredients
Taco Shells

- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

- Fill the Taco Shells: Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each crunchy taco shell, filling them generously but without overfilling to avoid spillage.

- Serve: Serve immediately to maintain the crispiness of the taco shells, or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to allow flavors to meld slightly.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps in the filling.
- Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks for best light and fluffy texture in the cheesecake filling.
- Optionally, add a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce for added flavor.
- These can be prepared ahead but fill the taco shells just before serving to prevent sogginess.
