CHERRY CHEESECAKE TACOS INGREDIENTS:
Cream cheese – softened
Sugar – powdered sugar
Vanilla extract
Cool Whip – frozen whipped topping, thawed
Cherry pie filling
Flour tortillas – street taco-size flour tortillas, or cut soft taco-size tortillas to a 4-inch round with a bowl, glass, or cookie cutter
Oil – Vegetable oil or shortening for frying
Sugar – granulated sugar
Ground cinnamon
Soften the cream cheese before beginning the recipe to make sure there are no lumps in the filling. The cream cheese should be at room temperature to help everything mix together smoothly.
Place the fried tortillas into the sugar coating right after frying as the oil helps the sugar stick to the shells. If you’d like to omit the cinnamon, fried tortillas can be coated in just white or brown sugar. You could also add finely crushed graham cracker crumbs to the mixture.
The cheesecake filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Pipe the sweet filling into freshly fried “taco” shells and top with fruit.
CAN I FREEZE CHERRY CHEESECAKE TACOS?
Cheesecake filling can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and then pipe into freshly fried “taco” shells.
WHAT TOPPINGS CAN I USE?
Dessert tacos can be topped with other fruit pie filling flavors, fresh fruit, crushed cookies, hot fudge, or caramel sauce.
CAN I USE REGULAR-SIZED FLOUR TORTILLAS?
If you can’t find street taco-sized tortillas you can cut regular-sized flour tortillas with a 4-inch round with a bowl, glass, or cookie cutter.
HOW TO STORE CHERRY CHEESECAKE TACOS
IN THE FRIDGE: The crispness of the fried tortillas is best within a few hours, but leftover dessert tacos can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Cheesecake filling can be stored separately in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
IN THE FREEZER: Cheesecake filling can be stored in the freezer in a freezer-safe resealable bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator and then pipe into freshly fried “taco” shells.
