Step-by-Step Beginner-Friendly Instructions

Shape & Bake the Shells

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cut tortillas into 15 circles using a 4-inch cutter.
3. Lightly brush both sides with melted butter.
4. Flip a muffin tin upside down and gently fold each tortilla circle between muffin cups to create a taco shape.
5. Bake for 5–6 minutes, until edges are golden.
6. Let cool 1 minute in the pan, then transfer to a parchment-lined sheet to cool completely.

💡 Tip: Lightly poke tortillas with a knife before baking to prevent bubbles.

Melt the White Chocolate

Double Boiler Method:

• Heat 1 inch of water in a saucepan.
• Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl over the pan (do not touch water).
• Stir constantly until smooth and glossy.

Microwave Method:

• Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted.
• Be careful — white chocolate burns easily!

Coat the Shells

1. Brush melted chocolate inside and outside each cooled shell.
2. Immediately coat in strawberry crunch crumbs.
3. Place back on parchment paper.
4. Let chocolate set completely before filling.

✨ Shell should feel firm and fully hardened before moving on.

Make the Cheesecake Filling

1. Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
2. In a separate bowl, whip cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
3. Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture until fluffy.
4. Do not overmix.

Transfer to a piping bag.

Assemble the Tacos 🌸

1. Stand shells upright in an inverted muffin tin or baking dish.
2. Pipe cheesecake filling evenly into each shell.
3. Top with diced strawberries.
4. Drizzle with strawberry syrup.

Serve immediately or chill until ready to enjoy!

Pro Tips

• Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 3 days.

• Chocolate Quality: Use premium white chocolate for smoother coating.
• Prevent Cracking: Don’t overbake shells — they’ll crack during coating.
