Preparation
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until smooth—about 2-3 minutes.
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped cream until well combined, maintaining an airy texture.
  3. Fill each taco shell generously with the cheesecake mixture.
  4. Top each filled taco with diced strawberries, crushed graham crackers, and chopped nuts if desired.

  6. Serve immediately for the best crunch.

Notes

Store filling separately in the fridge if you have leftovers and assemble before serving to maintain crunch. You can prepare the cheesecake mixture a few hours in advance.
