Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 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
Taco Shells
- 1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (35g) chopped toasted pecans (optional)
Garnish
- Additional chopped strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Fold in the heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.
- Prepare the Taco Shells: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture is well-coated and resembles coarse sand. Divide the mixture evenly into 8 small taco-shaped molds or a muffin tin, pressing firmly into the sides and bottom to form the taco shells.
- Chill the Taco Shells: Place the taco shells in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until they are firm and hold their shape.
- Assemble the Tacos: Remove the chilled shells from the refrigerator. Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each shell, filling them evenly. Sprinkle the filling with chopped toasted pecans, if desired.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish the tacos with additional chopped fresh strawberries. Serve chilled and enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and fruity flavors of these no-bake cheesecake tacos.
Notes
- Substitute strawberries with raspberries or blackberries for a different berry flavor.
- Try almonds or walnuts instead of pecans for a varied crunch.
- Press the graham cracker mixture firmly to ensure sturdy taco shells.
- Chilling the shells fully is essential to maintain their shape when filled.
- Use a piping bag for neat filling application.
