Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strawberries fresh, hulled and chopped
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream whipped
  • 12 small taco shells
  • 1/2 cup strawberry crunch topping store-bought or homemade

Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking sheet
  • Piping bag (optional)
  • Refrigerator

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of each taco shell to form a crust. Bake the shells for about 10 minutes until the crust is golden brown. Let them cool completely.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until fully incorporated. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Carefully fill each cooled taco shell with the cheesecake mixture, using a piping bag or spoon to ensure even distribution. Place the filled tacos in the refrigerator to set for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Once the cheesecake filling has set, top each taco with the chopped strawberries and a generous sprinkle of strawberry crunch topping. Serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to enjoy.

Notes

Chef's Tips:
• For a firmer filling, you can add gelatin to the cheesecake mixture
• Avoid overfilling the taco shells to prevent them from breaking
• Serve with a drizzle of chocolate or caramel for an extra touch of decadence
Food Safety:
• Keep refrigerated until ready to serve to prevent spoilage
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
