Ingredients
- 10 small flour tortillas (or taco-sized soft tortillas)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sugar (for coating)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup fresh blueberries (or more, depending on preference)
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for drizzling)
- Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
-
Prepare the taco shells: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the tortillas with melted butter. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl and sprinkle the mixture over both sides of the tortillas. Gently fold the tortillas into taco shapes and place them on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the oven and allow to cool.
-
Make the cheesecake filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
-
Assemble the tacos: Once the taco shells have cooled, carefully spoon or pipe the cheesecake filling into the taco shells.
-
Top with blueberries: Spoon fresh blueberries on top of the cheesecake filling in each taco. If you like extra sweetness, drizzle a little honey over the blueberries.
-
Garnish and serve: Optionally, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a pop of color and freshness. Serve immediately.
-
Enjoy: These Blueberry Cheesecake Tacos are the perfect blend of creamy, crunchy, and fruity – a unique dessert that will wow your guests!
Notes
