Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
For Assembly
- Mini taco shells (about 12)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to avoid turning it into butter.
- Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, mixing carefully to maintain the fluffiness of the filling.
- Fill the Taco Shells: Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each mini taco shell evenly, filling them generously.
- Add Toppings: Top each cheesecake-filled taco with chopped fresh strawberries for a burst of flavor and color.
- Sprinkle Graham Cracker Crumbs: Lightly sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the top to add a crunchy texture contrast.
- Chill Before Serving: Place the assembled dessert tacos in the refrigerator to chill briefly, about 15-20 minutes, allowing the filling to set slightly for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute mini taco shells with small waffle cones or phyllo cups if desired.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth filling.
- These dessert tacos are best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a little cinnamon or drizzle melted chocolate on top before serving.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best taste and sweetness.
