Instructions
- Prepare Tortilla Shells:
- Cut flour tortillas into circles about four inches wide using a round cutter or glass. Brush each with melted butter on both sides. To form the taco shape drape each circle over the back of an upside-down muffin tin slot. Bake at three hundred fifty degrees until golden usually five to six minutes. Let shells cool slightly on the tin so they keep their shape then set them onto parchment to finish cooling
- Melt White Chocolate:
- Break white chocolate into small pieces. Place it in a glass bowl set over barely simmering water for gentle indirect heat. Stir constantly until smooth and glossy making sure no water gets in the bowl. If using a microwave melt in short bursts stirring between each to prevent scorching
- Coat and Crunch the Shells:
- Brush melted white chocolate on both sides of each shell using a pastry brush for thorough coating. Immediately dip each shell into strawberry crunch to stick the mix evenly inside and out. Set shells on parchment and let sit until chocolate hardens
- Whip the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl beat softened cream cheese powdered sugar and vanilla together until absolutely smooth scraping the bowl as needed. Whip cold heavy cream in another bowl until it holds stiff fluffy peaks using a mixer for best volume. Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using broad strokes to keep it light. Take care not to overmix or the filling can deflate
- Assemble Tacos:
- Stand the finished taco shells upright in a muffin tin or serving dish. Fill a piping bag with the cheesecake mixture and pipe a generous swirl into each shell. Top with strawberry pieces or halves for juicy color then drizzle each taco with sweet strawberry syrup before serving
