How to store Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos

These tacos are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just keep the filling and shells separate to avoid sogginess. You can also prep the filling in advance to save time on dessert night. A quick stir will bring it back to life when you’re ready to serve!
