Ingredients
  

For the Taco Shells
  • 1 cup Graham Cracker Crumbs Substitute with crushed digestive biscuits or vanilla wafers if desired.
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar Adjust according to taste preferences.
  • 4 tablespoons Melted Butter Coconut oil works as a great dairy-free alternative.
For the Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese Use softened cream cheese for easier blending, or vegan cream cheese for dairy-free.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Reduce according to preference for a lighter filling.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Choose pure vanilla extract for best results.
  • 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream Substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free version.
For the Topping
  • 2 cups Fresh Strawberries Select ripe strawberries for optimal sweetness.
  • 1 tablespoon Strawberry Jam Honey or sugar can be used if jam is unavailable.

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • electric mixer
  • taco molds or muffin tins
  • spatula or piping bag

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter, mixing until well coated. Firmly press the mixture into taco molds or muffin tins lined with foil, ensuring the shells are even. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow them to cool completely before filling.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully integrated.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Wash and slice fresh strawberries, then combine them with strawberry jam in a medium bowl. Toss gently until well-coated.
  5. Fill cooled taco shells with the cheesecake filling. Generously top each taco with the strawberry mixture and, if desired, sprinkle with graham cracker crumbs.
  6. Serve immediately or chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps. Keep an eye on the taco shells while baking to prevent overbaking. Fresh strawberries are recommended for the best flavor.
