How to store Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos

If you have any leftovers (which I doubt!), store them in the fridge for up to 2 days. Just be aware the taco shells might get soggy, so it’s best to fill them just before serving. For make-ahead options, prepare the cheesecake filling and store it separately, then assemble when you’re ready to serve!

Tips to make Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Tacos

• Room temperature cream cheese blends easier – trust me on this one!
• Add a splash of lemon zest for a zesty kick to your filling.
• Switch the strawberries for other berries like blueberries or raspberries for a fun twist.
• For a crunchier texture, toast those graham cracker crumbs before sprinkling. You can thank me later!
• Feel free to swap out regular taco shells for gluten-free options!

Variation

Feeling adventurous? Try swapping the strawberries for sliced bananas or peaches for a completely different taste! You could even turn these into vegan tacos by using cashew cream and coconut whipped topping instead of traditional cream cheese and whipped cream. The possibilities are endless!

FAQs

Can I use something other than taco shells?

Absolutely! Mini phyllo dough shells or even cookies work great!

How can I make these ahead of time?

You can prep the filling and store it in the fridge, then fill your taco shells right before serving.

Can I freeze the tacos?

I wouldn’t recommend freezing the filled tacos, as the shells can get soggy. Instead, freeze the filling, then thaw and fill right before serving.
