Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Ingredients

  • Ripe, juicy fresh strawberries (amount as desired for slicing)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Taco Shell & Crunch

  • 6 graham cracker taco shells (or gluten-free alternatives)
  • 1/2 cup strawberry crunch cereal or crushed cookies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture to create a light and fluffy filling.
  2. Wash and Slice Strawberries: Thoroughly wash the fresh strawberries and pat dry. Slice them thinly to balance fruit and filling in every bite.
  3. Assemble the Taco Shells: Take the graham cracker taco shells and carefully fill each with a generous spoonful of the cheesecake filling, smoothing it evenly. Layer sliced strawberries over the filling, distributing them beautifully.
  4. Add the Crunch: Sprinkle strawberry crunch cereal or crushed cookies on top of the strawberries for an added crispy texture that elevates each bite.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Place assembled tacos in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the filling to set slightly, enhancing the creamy consistency.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth blending and a lump-free filling.
  • Do not overwhip the heavy cream; whip until soft peaks form for a stable yet airy filling.
  • Chill taco shells briefly before filling to keep them crisp longer.
  • Assemble the tacos ahead of time for party-ready desserts with minimal last-minute effort.
  • Handle the graham cracker shells gently as they can be fragile and prone to breaking.
