Description
Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos are a no-bake, handheld dessert that combines creamy cheesecake filling with juicy strawberries and a crunchy graham cracker shell. Perfect for parties or summer treats, they’re fun, easy to make, and full of flavor.
Ingredients
8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup (60 ml) heavy cream
1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
1½ cups (180 g) graham cracker crumbs
¼ cup (50 g) unsalted butter, melted
¼ cup (35 g) chopped toasted pecans (optional)
Additional chopped strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
- Fold in the heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries until evenly blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the texture resembles coarse sand.
- Divide the graham cracker mixture into 8 small taco molds (or muffin tin cups), pressing firmly to form shells.
- Chill the shells in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until firm.
- Once chilled, spoon or pipe the cheesecake mixture into the prepared shells.
- Sprinkle chopped toasted pecans on top if using.
- Garnish with additional chopped strawberries if desired.
- Serve chilled.
Notes
Use a muffin tin if taco molds aren’t available.
Chill the shells thoroughly to prevent crumbling.
For a nut-free version, omit the pecans or use crushed pretzels.
Swap strawberries for raspberries or blueberries for variation.
Mini chocolate chips or white chocolate drizzle can add a fun twist.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Not recommended for freezing.
