3. Step-by-Step Instructions for Making Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos
Prepare the Crunchy Coating
In a bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and crushed cookies or granola until well mixed. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, whisking until well combined. This creates the luscious cheesecake core for your tacos.
Assemble the Tacos
Take each small tortilla or taco shell, spoon in the cheesecake filling, and top generously with sliced strawberries. Then, dip the outer edge of the shell into the prepared crunchy coating, pressing gently to adhere.
Chill and Serve
Place the assembled strawberry cheesecake tacos on a tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve cold for optimal deliciousness, garnished with extra strawberries or a drizzle of chocolate if desired.
4. Tips for Perfect Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos
- For added flavor, mix a little lemon zest into the cheesecake filling.
- Use ripe strawberries for a naturally sweet and juicy flavor.
- If you prefer a firmer crunch, toast the cookie mixture in the oven for a few minutes before coating.
- These tacos are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
5. Storage Tips
Keep leftover strawberry crunch cheesecake tacos in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Due to the fresh strawberries and creamy filling, they are best enjoyed within a day. For longer storage, consider storing the cheesecake filling separately and assembling just before serving.
6. Serving Suggestions
Serve these delightful tacos on a platter topped with extra strawberry slices, whipped cream, or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for an extra-special presentation.
