Ingredients
  

For the Cream Cheese Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Choose a full-fat variety for the best creamy texture.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Balances the creaminess with essential sweetness.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Adds depth with its warm, aromatic flavor.
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream Incorporates air, lightening the cheesecake while enhancing creaminess.
  • 1 cup Fresh Strawberries Adds a fruity burst; substitute with other berries if desired.
For the Taco Shells
  • 1 1/2 cups Graham Cracker Crumbs This forms the crunchy base; opt for pre-crushed or crush your own.
  • 1/4 cup Unsalted Butter Helps bind the crumbs and enriches the flavor.
Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/4 cup Chopped Toasted Pecans Introduces extra crunch and nuttiness; other nuts can work as well.
  • Additional Chopped Strawberries for garnish, optional

Equipment

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a medium bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until completely smooth, about 2 minutes. Gradually add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Then, gently fold in the heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries.
  2. Make the Taco Shells: In another bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with melted unsalted butter until it resembles wet sand. Using taco-shaped molds or a muffin tin, press the crumb mixture into the shapes to form taco shells.
  3. Chill the Shells: Place the taco shells in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to chill and firm up.
  4. Assemble Tacos: Carefully remove the taco shells from the molds. Fill each shell generously with the prepared cheesecake filling.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Add additional chopped strawberries on top to enhance their visual appeal. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving.
