Ingredients
  

For the cheesecake filling
  • 8 oz Cream cheese, softened to room temperature Full-fat cream cheese gives the creamiest texture.
  • 3/4 to 1 cup Powdered sugar, sifted if lumpy Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Strawberries, fresh, chopped or lightly crushed Or freeze-dried pieces for extra crunch.
  • 2–3 tbsp Butter, melted
For assembly
  • 4 taco shells Taco shells (crispy dessert-style or small corn shells)
  • 1–1 1/2 cups Graham cracker crumbs For a gluten-free version, swap in gluten-free graham crumbs.
  • 1 cup Whipped cream, store-bought or freshly whipped

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Place softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Beat until completely smooth and lump-free.
  2. Add powdered sugar a little at a time while mixing. Pour in vanilla extract and beat just until combined. Taste and adjust sweetness.
  3. In a small bowl, crush the strawberries with a fork. Fold the fruit gently into the cream cheese mixture so you keep some texture.
  4. Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until the crumbs are evenly moistened and crumbly.
Assembly
  1. Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each taco shell, pressing gently so the filling reaches both ends.
  2. Sprinkle the graham cracker crumb mixture over the top of each filled taco. Press lightly so crumbs adhere.
  3. Add a dollop of whipped cream to each taco and garnish with extra strawberry slices or crushed freeze-dried bits.
  4. Serve immediately so the shells stay crisp and the textures remain distinct.

Notes

Store assembled tacos in a single layer in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. For best texture, store the cheesecake filling and graham crumb topping separately and assemble just before serving.
