Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Taco Shells

  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (35g) chopped toasted pecans (optional)

Garnish

  • Additional chopped strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined, ensuring a smooth texture without lumps.
  2. Incorporate heavy cream and strawberries: Fold in the heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries gently until the mixture is evenly distributed, enhancing the filling with a fresh fruity flavor.
  3. Make the graham cracker taco shells: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture is well-coated and has a coarse sand-like texture, which will help the shells hold together.
  4. Form the taco shells: Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly into 8 small taco-shaped molds or a muffin tin. Press the mixture firmly into the sides and bottom to create sturdy, crisp taco shells that will hold the filling.
  5. Chill the shells: Place the prepared graham cracker taco shells in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the shells are firm and hold their shape, ensuring they don’t crumble when filled.
  6. Fill the taco shells: Remove the chilled taco shells from the refrigerator. Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each taco shell, filling them evenly for consistent taste and presentation.
  7. Add optional toppings: Sprinkle the top of the cheesecake filling with chopped toasted pecans if desired, adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos with additional chopped fresh strawberries if desired. Serve the tacos chilled to enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and fruity layers in every bite.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • Chilling the shells is crucial for them to hold their taco shape without breaking.
  • Pecan topping is optional but adds a nice crunch and depth of flavor.
  • For easier filling, use a piping bag or resealable plastic bag with a corner cut off.
  • This dessert is best served the same day or within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
