Description
These Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos are a fun and indulgent dessert twist on classic tacos. Crispy cinnamon-sugar taco shells are filled with creamy cheesecake filling, topped with crushed strawberry crunch crumbles, and finished with fresh strawberries and whipped cream for a stunning treat.
Ingredients
- 6 small flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed
- 10 Golden Oreos, crushed
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (for crumble)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- Whipped cream, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Brush tortillas lightly with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar on both sides.
- Fold tortillas in half and hang them over the bars of an upside-down muffin tin to form taco shapes. Bake for 7–9 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into the cream cheese mixture to create the cheesecake filling.
- In a bowl, mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries, Golden Oreo crumbs, and melted butter until combined and crumbly. This makes the strawberry crunch topping.
- Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each cooled taco shell.
- Top with strawberry crunch mixture and diced fresh strawberries.
- Finish with a swirl of whipped cream and a few extra strawberry bits for garnish. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- You can air-fry the tortilla shells at 350°F for 4–5 minutes instead of baking.
- For a shortcut, use store-bought strawberry crunch topping or crushed strawberry wafers.
- Keep refrigerated until serving to maintain crispness.
- Best enjoyed the same day for the crispiest texture.
