• ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  
  

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  
  

• ¼ cup (60ml) heavy cream

For the Taco Shells:

• 1½ cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
  
  

• ¼ cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted
  
  

• ¼ cup (35g) chopped toasted pecans (optional)
  
  

• Additional chopped strawberries for garnish (optional)
  
  

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
   
   

   • In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
     
     

   • Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
     
     

   • Fold in the heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.
     
     

2. Make the Taco Shells:
   
   

   • In a separate bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
     
     

   • Divide the mixture evenly into 8 small taco-shaped molds or a muffin tin, pressing firmly to create the taco shells.
     
     

   • Chill the prepared shells in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
     
     

3. Assemble the Tacos:
   
   

   • Once the taco shells are firm, remove them from the refrigerator.
     
     

   • Carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the center of each taco shell.
     
     

   • Top with chopped toasted pecans and additional fresh strawberries, if desired.
     
     

4. Serve:
   
   

   • Serve the tacos chilled, enjoying the combination of creamy, crunchy, and fruity flavors in every bite.
