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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400℉ (200℃) to prepare for baking the tortilla shells.
  2. Prepare Tortilla Circles: Stack the tortillas and use a 1.5-inch circle cookie cutter to cut 5 circles from the stack. To prevent air bubbles during baking, prick each tortilla circle with a fork on both sides.
  3. Coat Tortillas: Dip each tortilla circle into melted butter, then coat both sides evenly with graham cracker crumbs. This adds a sweet, crunchy texture to the shell.
  4. Shape Tortillas: Place the coated tortillas between the cups of an inverted cupcake pan to form taco shell shapes and keep them upright while baking.
  5. Bake Shells: Bake the shaped tortillas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn slightly brown and crisp. Remove and allow them to cool completely.
  6. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese with lemon juice and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  7. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form, then gently fold this whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
  8. Assemble Tacos: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag and pipe it into the cooled taco shells evenly.
  9. Add Toppings: Finish by topping each cheesecake taco with dollops of blueberry jam and strawberry jam for a burst of fruity sweetness.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth filling without lumps.
  • Gently folding the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture keeps the filling light and airy.
  • If you don’t have a cupcake pan, you can creatively use other molds to shape the tortillas.
  • Store assembled tacos in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for best freshness.
  • Feel free to substitute jams with fresh berries or other fruit preserves of your choice.
