Description
A delicious fusion of cheesecake and tacos featuring a strawberry filling and crunchy graham cracker shells.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (35g) chopped toasted pecans (optional)
- Additional chopped strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined.
- Fold in the heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries until the mixture is evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture is well-coated and resembles a coarse sand-like texture.
- Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly into 8 small taco-shaped molds or a muffin tin, pressing the mixture firmly into the sides and bottom to create the taco shells.
- Place the prepared graham cracker taco shells in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the shells are firm and hold their shape.
- Remove the chilled taco shells from the refrigerator. Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each taco shell, being sure to fill them evenly.
- Top the cheesecake filling with a sprinkle of chopped toasted pecans, if desired.
- Garnish the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos with additional chopped fresh strawberries, if desired.
- Serve the tacos chilled and enjoy the irresistible combination of creamy cheesecake, crunchy graham cracker, and juicy strawberries in every bite!
Notes
- For a deeper flavor, let the cheesecake filling sit for a short while before filling the taco shells.
- These tacos can be made ahead of time but are best served within 24 hours.
- Feel free to substitute other berries for the strawberries based on preference.
