Ingredients

Step-by-Step

1. Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
2. Warm the Taco Shells: Slightly warm the soft taco shells in a microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable for filling.
3. Fill the Shells: Spoon the cheesecake filling into each taco shell, being generous without overstuffing.
4. Add the Toppings: Top the filling with fresh sliced strawberries and sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top for that crunchy texture.

What to Serve Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos With

These tacos are a perfect standalone dessert, but why not elevate your meal? Pair them with a refreshing fruit salad or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added fun. For drinks, a light berry lemonade or even iced tea pairs wonderfully with the flavors of the tacos. Your guests will be raving about your dessert combo!

Top Tips for Perfecting

• Ingredient Substitutions: Want to mix it up? Try using different fruits like blueberries or raspberries based on what you have at home.
• Timing Adjustments: If your cream cheese isn’t soft enough, microwave it for 10 seconds to make mixing easier.
• Avoid Overfilling: Be careful not to overstuff your tacos. Less is more when it comes to enjoying the crunch!

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you happen to have leftovers (which is rare!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To maintain the freshness of the toppings, add them right before serving. Reheating isn’t necessary for these tacos, but if you prefer warm cheesecake, heat them slightly in the microwave for a few seconds.

FAQs

Can I make the filling ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the cheesecake filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge.

Can I freeze these tacos?
While it’s best to eat them fresh, you can freeze the filling for up to a month, but I recommend assembling the tacos just before serving for the best texture and flavor.

What can I use instead of cream cheese?
You could try mascarpone cheese or a dairy-free cream cheese alternative for a different flavor!
