Ingredients
Scale
Tortilla Shells
- 5 8-inch tortillas
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling
- 9 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings
- Blueberry jam
- Strawberry jam
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃) to prepare for baking the tortilla shells.
- Prepare Tortilla Circles: Stack the tortillas and cut out five 1.5-inch circles using a cookie cutter. To prevent air bubbles, prick each tortilla circle on both sides with a fork.
- Coat Tortillas: Dip each tortilla circle into the melted butter, then coat thoroughly with graham cracker crumbs.
- Shape and Bake Shells: Invert a cupcake pan and place the tortillas between the cups to form taco shell shapes. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned and crisp. Remove and allow to cool completely.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth to create a creamy base.
- Whip Cream: In another bowl, whisk the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Combine Mixes: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated and fluffy.
- Pipe Filling: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag and fill the cooled tortilla shells generously.
- Add Toppings and Serve: Top the filled tacos with blueberry and strawberry jams as desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Berrylicious Cheesecake Tacos!
Notes
- To keep the shells crispy, serve the tacos immediately after filling.
- Room temperature cream cheese is essential for a smooth cheesecake filling.
- Graham cracker crumbs help add crunch and flavor to the taco shells.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a plastic sandwich bag with a small corner cut off.
- You can substitute other fruit jams or fresh berries as toppings.
