How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos
- Prepare the Taco Shells:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Drape the tortillas over the bars of your oven rack to form a taco shape. Bake for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool completely. - Make the Cheesecake Filling:
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fluffy. Refrigerate while you prepare the topping. - Create the Strawberry Crunch:
In a food processor (or by hand), crush Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries. Mix with melted butter until crumbly. This is the magic layer that gives the dessert its strawberry crunch cake flavor and look. - Assemble the Dessert Tacos:
Pipe or spoon cheesecake filling into each cooled taco shell. Generously sprinkle with strawberry crunch topping, then garnish with diced strawberries and a drizzle of whipped cream or syrup.
