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

Graham Cracker Taco Shells

  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted

Toppings (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup (35g) chopped toasted pecans
  • Additional chopped fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: 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.
  2. Incorporate Heavy Cream and Strawberries: Gently fold in the heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries until the mixture is evenly distributed, creating a smooth and flavorful filling.
  3. Make Graham Cracker Mixture: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are well-coated and the texture resembles coarse sand, which will help the shells hold their shape.
  4. Form Taco Shells: Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly into 8 small taco-shaped molds or a muffin tin. Press the mixture firmly into the sides and bottom to create sturdy taco shells.
  5. Chill the Shells: Place the taco molds in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, allowing the shells to firm up and maintain their structure.
  6. Fill the Tacos: Remove the chilled shells from the refrigerator. Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each taco shell, filling them evenly without overstuffing.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the cheesecake filling with chopped toasted pecans if desired, adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Garnish each taco with additional chopped fresh strawberries to enhance freshness and presentation. Serve chilled and enjoy the perfect balance of creamy, crunchy, and fruity flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture. Avoid over-mixing to keep the filling light and airy.
  • To toast pecans, lightly toast in a dry skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until fragrant.
  • If you don’t have taco-shaped molds, you can use a muffin tin or small bowls to shape the shells.
  • For a firmer shell, chill the graham cracker mixture longer or add a tablespoon more melted butter if needed.
  • These tacos are best enjoyed within 24 hours for optimal freshness.
