Blueberry Cheesecake Taco Shells (Printer-Friendly)

Crisp cinnamon graham shells filled with a creamy cheesecake blend and topped with vibrant blueberry pie filling.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Taco Shells

01 - 6 soft 8-inch flour tortillas
02 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
03 - ½ cup graham cracker crumbs
04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

→ Cheesecake Filling

05 - 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
06 - ½ cup heavy cream, cold
07 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, sifted
08 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
09 - 1 teaspoon lemon zest (yellow part only)

→ Topping

10 - ½ cup blueberry pie filling
11 - Extra graham cracker crumbs for garnish (optional)

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter or glass, cut circles from each tortilla to form taco shells.
02 - Brush each tortilla circle evenly with melted butter, then press both sides into a mixture of graham cracker crumbs and cinnamon until fully coated.
03 - Drape each coated tortilla circle over the inverted cups of a muffin tin to shape tacos and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes or until golden and crisp. Let cool on the pan to maintain shape.
04 - Whip the cold heavy cream and room temperature cream cheese together until smooth and fluffy. Gradually beat in powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until creamy and light.
05 - Refrigerate the cream cheese mixture for at least 30 minutes to firm up for easier piping and flavor melding.
06 - Pipe or spoon the chilled cheesecake filling into each cooled taco shell using a piping bag fitted with a large star tip for neat presentation.
07 - Top each filled shell with a teaspoon of blueberry pie filling and sprinkle with extra graham cracker crumbs if desired. Serve immediately.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Store unfilled shells at room temperature in an airtight container up to 2 days; refrigerated filled tacos should be eaten within 24 hours for best texture.
02 - Use gluten-free tortillas as a substitute to accommodate gluten allergies.
03 - Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth and creamy filling.
