For the Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened

For the Cookie Dough
- 1 cup edible, safe-to-eat cookie dough (homemade or store-bought)
Others

- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, then gently fold in whipped cream to create a light and fluffy filling perfect for the taco shells.

- Assemble the Taco Shells: Carefully spoon a generous amount of cheesecake filling into each crispy taco shell, then add a portion of cookie dough on top, layering to ensure each bite combines creamy and chewy textures.
