Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by placing 8 ounces of softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat it until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Gradually add in 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. Next, gently fold in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of finely chopped fresh strawberries into the cream cheese mixture.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs with 1/4 cup of melted unsalted butter.
  5. Press the graham cracker mixture firmly into taco-shaped molds or muffin tin to form the shells.
  6. Place the pressed taco shells in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours.
  7. Once the taco shells are chilled and firm, fill each taco shell with the cheesecake filling.
  8. For added texture and flavor, sprinkle some chopped toasted pecans on top of the filled tacos, if desired.
  9. Garnish each Strawberry Crunch Cheesecake Taco with additional chopped strawberries before serving.
