How to Make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos

Step 1: Prepare the Shells

If using waffle cones, carefully cut them in half and shape into taco shells. Brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar (and cinnamon if using). Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5–7 minutes until slightly 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 light and fluffy.

Step 3: Assemble the Tacos

Fill each shell with a generous scoop of cheesecake filling. Top with diced strawberries and sprinkle the crunchy topping over the top. Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Serve immediately for the best crunch, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours if prepping ahead. Perfect for a playful dessert table or a fun family treat!
