Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar: In a bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Spoon the filling into a piping bag and refrigerate.
- Fry the Taco Shells: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Using tongs, carefully fold each tortilla in half and fry until golden and crisp, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and immediately coat in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Set aside to cool.
- Assemble the Tacos: Pipe the cheesecake filling into each taco shell, then top with cherry pie filling.
- Serve: Enjoy immediately for the best crunch!
Notes
- You can make the cheesecake filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge until ready to assemble.
- For a twist, try adding fresh berries to the topping in place of the cherry pie filling.
