Delicious Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos

This fun, handheld dessert is perfect for parties, summer gatherings, or any special occasion, balancing smooth richness, juicy sweetness, and satisfying crunch.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes (including chilling time)
  • Yield: 6 tacos 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Taco Shell

  • 1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • 6 tablespoons melted butter

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup crushed crunch topping (nuts or crispy cereal)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Taco Shells: Mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the mixture holds together when pressed. Press into silicone taco molds or shape gently over taco-shaped forms and chill to firm up the shell’s shape.
  2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This filling should be fluffy yet rich to balance the crunchy shell perfectly.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the cheesecake filling into each chilled taco shell generously. Top with sliced fresh strawberries, pressing gently to secure them.
  4. Add the Crunchy Topping: Sprinkle crushed nuts or crispy cereal over the strawberries for that satisfying crunch that sets these tacos apart.
  5. Chill Before Serving: Place the assembled cheesecake tacos in the refrigerator for at least an hour to allow flavors to meld and shells to remain firm, making them easier to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Chill shells thoroughly to help them hold their shape during eating.
  • Choose ripe strawberries for maximum natural sweetness and juiciness.
  • Crush nuts finely to create an even crunch without overpowering the bite.
  • Assemble tacos close to serving time to prevent soggy shells.
