Ingredients
Scale
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup crushed golden sandwich cookies
- ½ cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup diced fresh strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly brush tortillas with melted butter and drape them over oven rack bars to create a taco shape. Bake for 7–9 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool completely.
- In a bowl, mix crushed golden cookies, freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter until combined. Set aside.
- Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
- Spoon or pipe cheesecake filling into each cooled taco shell.
- Sprinkle generously with strawberry crunch topping.
- Top with diced fresh strawberries and serve immediately for best texture.
Notes
- Let cooled taco shells come to room temperature before filling to maintain crunch.
- For extra vanilla flavor, add an extra 1/2 tsp vanilla to the cheesecake filling.
- Best served immediately; refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
- If you can’t find freeze-dried strawberries, substitute with finely crushed freeze-dried strawberries or omit (the crunch will be less pronounced).
