Mini Strawberry Cheesecake Tacos – A Must-Try Recipe
Ingredients:
- 5 8-inch tortillas (approximately 20 rounds)
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tsp water
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tbsp cold water
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Use a cookie cutter to cut 4-5 rounds from each tortilla, yielding about 20 rounds. Dip each round into the melted butter, then coat with graham cracker crumbs.
- Flip a muffin tin upside down and place the tortilla rounds in between the muffin cups. Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow to cool in the pan.
- Prepare the strawberry filling: In a small pot, combine water, sugar, and strawberries. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer to soften the strawberries.
- Dissolve cornstarch in cold water and add to the strawberry mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until slightly chunky. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla extract for 2 minutes on medium speed until thickened. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, then transfer to a piping bag.
- Fill each taco shell with the cream cheese filling and top with 1/2 tsp of the strawberry filling. Optional: sprinkle with additional graham cracker crumbs. Enjoy!
