Ingredients

(Makes 6–8 tacos)

For the Shells:

• 6 mini waffle cones or pre-baked taco shells
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons sugar

For the Cheesecake Filling:

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:

Instructions

If using waffle cones, carefully cut them in half to form taco shells. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Toast lightly in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes, or until golden and crisp. Let cool.

In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream gently until fluffy.

Spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each taco shell. Top with diced strawberries and sprinkle with crushed graham crackers or cookie crumbs for extra crunch.

4. Add Final Touches

Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce and add sprinkles if desired. Serve immediately for maximum crunch.
