Instructions
Making Cheesecake Tacos is a fun and easy process when you follow these steps:
1. Make Taco Shells:
– In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, and sugar.
– Stir in the melted butter until evenly mixed.
– Gradually add water, mixing until a dough forms.
– Roll the dough into small balls and flatten them into discs.
2. Cook the Taco Shells:
– Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
– Cook each disc for about 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly brown.
– While still warm, gently bend the cooked discs into a taco shape. Leave them to cool and harden.
3. Prepare Cheesecake Filling:
– In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until creamy.
– Add sugar, vanilla extract, sour cream, and lemon zest. Blend until smooth.
– Chill the filling in the fridge for about 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Fill the Taco Shells:
– Once the filling is chilled, use a piping bag or spoon to fill each taco shell generously with the cheesecake mixture.
5. Add Toppings:
– Top each filled taco with fresh berries, whipped cream, crushed nuts, or drizzle with chocolate and caramel sauce.
6. Serve Immediately:
– Enjoy them fresh, or you can store leftover Cheesecake Tacos in the fridge for a day but consume them as soon as possible for the best texture.
