Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos are a delightful no-bake dessert combining creamy, smooth cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries and crunchy graham cracker taco shells. This easy-to-make treat is perfect for summer gatherings or anytime you crave a refreshing, fruity dessert with a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped

Graham Cracker Taco Shells

  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup (35g) chopped toasted pecans (optional)

Garnish

  • Additional chopped strawberries for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and continue mixing until well combined and silky.
  2. Incorporate cream and strawberries: Fold in the heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries gently until the mixture is evenly distributed and creamy with bits of strawberry throughout.
  3. Make the graham cracker crust: In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture is well-coated and has a coarse sand-like texture, ensuring the crumbs stick together well.
  4. Form the taco shells: Divide the graham cracker mixture evenly into 8 small taco-shaped molds or a muffin tin. Press the mixture firmly into the sides and bottom to create firm taco shells that hold their shape.
  5. Chill the shells: Place the prepared graham cracker taco shells in the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours, or until the shells are firm and hold their shape well for easy filling.
  6. Fill the taco shells: Remove the chilled taco shells from the refrigerator. Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each taco shell, filling them evenly to avoid overflows.
  7. Add toppings: Sprinkle the cheesecake filling with chopped toasted pecans if using, adding a delightful crunch and nutty flavor.
  8. Garnish and serve: Garnish the Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos with additional chopped fresh strawberries for a pop of color and freshness. Serve chilled and enjoy every creamy, crunchy, and fruity bite!

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling without lumps.
  • If you don’t have taco-shaped molds, muffin tins work well to shape the shells.
  • Chilling the shells is critical to keep their shape when filled.
  • Optional pecans add a nutty crunch but can be omitted for nut-free versions.
  • Fresh strawberries can be substituted with other berries for variation.
