Do I need any special equipment to make these tacos?

Do I use fresh or frozen strawberries?

While you can use frozen strawberries if that’s all you have available for this recipe, it’s better to use fresh strawberries. The fresh strawberries taste great and bring a naturally sweet flavor to the Strawberry Cheesecake Tacos. If you plan on using frozen strawberries, allow them to sit out until they’ve thawed before you prepare the fruit toppings for these tacos.

Which type of cream cheese should I use?

Use any brand of cream cheese that you’d like. You’ll need to measure out a cup of the cream cheese and then leave it out for a bit to give it time to soften before you combine it with the other ingredients.

How do I add the filling to my taco shells?

You can easily add the cheesecake filling to the taco shells by pouring it into a piping bag and squirting it in the center. If you don’t have a piping bag, feel free to pour the cheesecake mixture into a resealable Ziploc bag, cutting a small piece from the tip of the bag. You may then squirt the mixture in the center of your taco.

Should I add anything else to these Strawberry Cheesecake Tacos?

You can add a few other ingredients if you’d like to, but it’s optional. Some of the other ingredients that will taste great when added on top of your cheesecake filling and strawberries include extra powdered sugar, graham cracker crumbs, strawberry syrup, and even chopped nuts.
