Description
Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos are a delightful fusion of flavors and textures, combining the richness of cheesecake with the freshness of strawberries and the satisfying crunch of graham cracker shells.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans (optional)
- Additional chopped strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by preparing the cranberry crunch base. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted unsalted butter. You want to mix until the crumbs are fully coated and achieve a consistency resembling wet sand. If you’ve chosen to incorporate toasted pecans, this is the moment to add them into the mixture. Next, take about two tablespoons of this mixture and press it firmly into the bottom of each section of your mini muffin tin.
- While the base is hardening, it’s time to prepare the cheesecake filling. In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes smooth and free of lumps. Gradually sprinkle in the granulated sugar while continuing to beat the mixture.
- Now that you have a beautifully thick cheesecake filling, it’s time to incorporate the showstopper – the strawberries! Using a spatula, gently fold in the finely chopped fresh strawberries.
- With your graham cracker bases firm and the cheesecake filling ready, it’s time to assemble. Carefully remove the hardened bases from your muffin tin or molds. Spoon a generous portion of the strawberry cheesecake filling into each graham cracker base, filling them almost to the brim.
- To make your cheesecake tacos even more visually appealing, garnish them with additional chopped fresh strawberries and, if desired, a sprinkle of toasted pecans.
Notes
For the best results, serve these tacos immediately after assembly to maintain their delightful crunch.
