Ingredients
Scale
Taco Shells
- 10 small flour tortillas (or taco-sized soft tortillas)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
Toppings
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or more, depending on preference)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the taco shells: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the tortillas with melted butter. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over both sides of each tortilla. Gently fold each tortilla into a taco shape and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tortillas turn golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely to harden.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture to maintain the light and airy texture.
- Assemble the tacos: Once the taco shells have fully cooled, spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into each shell evenly, being careful not to crack the crispy shells.
- Top with blueberries: Generously spoon fresh blueberries over the cheesecake filling in each taco. For extra sweetness and flavor, drizzle honey over the blueberries if desired.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, add fresh mint leaves on top of the tacos to provide a touch of color and freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the shell’s crispiness with the creamy filling.
- Enjoy: These Blueberry Cheesecake Tacos combine creamy, crunchy, and fruity elements for a unique and delicious dessert experience that will impress your guests.
