Ingredients

Scale

Taco Shells

  • 6 crunchy taco shells

Cheesecake Filling

  • 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
  • 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (optional for extra crunch)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the Toppings: Top the filled taco shells with sliced fresh strawberries. For added texture, sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the strawberries to create a satisfying crunch.
  4. 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.
