Method
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Gently fold in the heavy cream and chopped strawberries until evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter until well coated.
- Divide the crumb mixture evenly among taco-shaped molds or muffin tin cavities.
- Press the mixture firmly into the sides and bottom to form taco shells.
- Refrigerate the shells for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Carefully remove the shells and fill each with the cheesecake mixture.
- Sprinkle with toasted pecans if using.
- Garnish with additional chopped strawberries and serve chilled.
Notes
Be sure to chill the shells completely before filling to prevent breakage. For a polished, bakery-style look, pipe the cheesecake filling into the shells. Assemble close to serving time to maintain the best crunch.
