Description
A creative twist on traditional cheesecake, these Blueberry Cheesecake Taco Shells blend sweet blueberries and creamy cheesecake in a crunchy taco shell.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 taco shells (flour or corn)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Prepare the taco shells by warming flour or corn tortillas in a skillet until pliable. Fold them into a taco shape and secure with toothpicks. Brush with melted butter and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden brown.
- In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in half the blueberries into the cheesecake mixture, reserving the rest for topping.
- Once the taco shells are cooled, spoon the cheesecake filling into each shell.
- Finish with the remaining blueberries on top, and optionally drizzle with raspberry or blueberry puree. Chill for about 20 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Notes
Serve immediately after chilling for the best flavor. Consider garnishing with mint for an added touch.
