Ingredients

Scale

Crispy Taco Shells

  • Sturdy, light taco shells, enough to hold filling without cracking (quantity as needed)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks (optional)

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, washed, patted dry, sliced or diced

Crunch Topping

  • 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers or toasted nuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and silky. If desired, gently fold in whipped heavy cream to lighten the texture and add fluffiness.
  2. Slice the Strawberries: Wash fresh strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry to remove excess moisture. Slice or dice the strawberries into thin pieces or small chunks for easy layering without making the shells soggy.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: Spoon a generous amount of cheesecake filling into each crispy taco shell. Layer the sliced strawberries on top of the filling, then sprinkle crushed graham crackers or toasted nuts to add the signature crunch.
  4. Chill Before Serving: Place the assembled tacos in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up and flavors to meld beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Choose taco shells sturdy enough to hold dense cheesecake filling without crumbling.
  • Soften cream cheese before mixing to avoid lumps and ensure smooth texture.
  • Pat dry strawberries thoroughly to prevent soggy shells and maintain crunch.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for best flavor.
  • Folding in whipped cream is optional but adds a lighter, airier texture to the filling.
  • To keep taco shells from getting soggy, consider brushing the inside lightly with melted white chocolate or Nutella before filling.
