Ingredients for Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos
Let’s break it down! Here’s what you’ll need for these scrumptious Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos:
- 8 Taco Shells: You can use store-bought or make your own with some cookie dough.
- 1 cup Cream Cheese, softened: A key ingredient for that smooth cheesecake filling.
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar: To sweeten things up just right.
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract: Because what’s cheesecake without it?
- 1 cup Heavy Cream, whipped: This adds that creamy, dreamy texture.
- 1 cup Strawberries, chopped: Fresh or frozen; either will work beautifully.
- 1 cup Crushed Cookies (e.g., graham crackers or Oreos): This gives the crunchy texture.
- 1/4 cup Melted Butter: To bind those cookie crumbs together.
Notes on Substitutions:
If you’re in a pinch or just want to switch it up:
- Use yogurt instead of cream cheese for a tangier and lighter version.
- Swap chocolate cookies for a different flavor profile.
- Don’t have enough strawberries? Mix in some blueberries or raspberries, oh my!
How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos
1. Preheat and Prepare:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). I know what you’re thinking, oven for tacos? But trust me, this is key! In a bowl, combine your crushed cookies and melted butter. Yep, just toss it all together until it looks like wet sand. Shape the mixture into taco shell forms and let them bake for about 10 minutes until they’re crispy and fragrant. Your kitchen is going to smell amazing!
2. Beat the Creamy Goodness:
In another bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. You want it super smooth, like the perfect cheesecake batter. Takes about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer; you’ll see it come together beautifully.
3. Whip it Good:
Now, time to fold in that whipped heavy cream. Take your time here, it’s all about gentle movements so the mixture stays airy and fluffy. You should feel like a culinary magician, making it all come alive!
4. Add Strawberries:
Gently fold in the chopped strawberries into your cream-cheese mixture; they add lovely freshness and a pop of color. You’re almost there…
5. Fill Those Taco Shells:
Now comes the fun part, spoon that cheesecake filling into each taco shell. Make it messy, make it fun! I like to overfill mine just a little so that creaminess oozes out when you take a bite. Heavenly!
6. Top It Off:
Finish with some extra strawberries on top and a sprinkle of that crushed cookie mixture for a little crunch boost!
7. Serve and Enjoy!
These little beauties are best enjoyed right away, but you can chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes if you prefer them colder. Grab a fork, or do as my kids do and dive in with your hands for that fun taco experience!

How to Serve This Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos
Serving Suggestions:
These tacos are delicious on their own, but here are a few ideas to elevate the experience:
- Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Drizzle chocolate or caramel sauce over the top for added indulgence.
- Serve with a side of whipped cream for that extra fluffiness.
Storage:
If you have any leftovers (they’re so yummy, they’re practically gone!), they’ll keep well in the refrigerator for about 2-3 days. Store them in an airtight container so they don’t dry out, especially the crunchy taco shells.
Reheating Instructions:
There’s no need to reheat since these are best served chilled! Just pull them out of the fridge, and they’re ready to go!
Freezer-Friendly:
While I wouldn’t recommend freezing them due to the structure of the shells and filling, you can freeze the cheesecake mixture separately. Thaw it before filling your shells for a last-minute dessert!
