Ingredients
Scale
- For the Taco Shells:
- 10 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- For the Toppings:
- 1/2 cup strawberries, diced
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/2 cup raspberries
Instructions
- Prepare the Taco Shells: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut small circles from the flour tortillas using a round cookie cutter or glass rim. Melt butter and brush it on both sides of each tortilla round. Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish. Press each tortilla round into the cinnamon sugar, coating both sides. Drape each tortilla circle over two oven rack bars to form a taco shell shape. Bake for 5–7 minutes until golden and crisp. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fluffy. Chill the filling for at least 30 minutes.
- Assemble the Cheesecake Tacos: Spoon or pipe the chilled cheesecake mixture into the cooled taco shells. Top generously with fresh berries.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for the best texture. For optimal crispness, consume within 1-2 hours of assembly.
Notes
- For added crunch, sprinkle crushed graham crackers or granola on top.
- Drizzle with chocolate or berry sauce for an enhanced flavor.
- If making ahead, store shells and filling separately and assemble just before serving.
- These are best enjoyed fresh while the shells remain crisp.
