Ingredients
Scale
- For the Taco Shells:
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- For the Strawberry Topping:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
- Press the mixture into taco-shaped molds or a muffin tin to form shells. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
- While the shells cool, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- In another bowl, toss the sliced strawberries with sugar and let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
- Once the taco shells are cool, fill each shell with the cheesecake mixture and top with the macerated strawberries.
- Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving for a firmer texture.

- Make-ahead: The cheesecake filling can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
