Ingredients

Scale

Taco Shells

  • 6 small flour tortillas (6-inch, soft taco size)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 8 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped (plus more for topping)

Chocolate Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup (90g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or prepare an inverted muffin tin to help shape the taco shells.
  2. Mix Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow bowl, combine granulated sugar and optional ground cinnamon to create the cinnamon-sugar coating for the tortillas.
  3. Coat Tortillas: Brush both sides of each flour tortilla thoroughly with the melted butter. Then dredge each tortilla in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until evenly coated on both sides.
  4. Shape Taco Shells: Fold each tortilla in half to form a taco shape. Balance them between two muffin cups on the prepared baking sheet or use a wire rack placed over the sheet to maintain their shape during baking.
  5. Bake Shells: Bake the shaped tortillas for 8-10 minutes until they are golden brown and crisp. Once done, carefully remove and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack to retain their crunch.
  6. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy, approximately 2 minutes.
  7. Add Sweetness and Flavor: Incorporate the sifted powdered sugar and vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture, beating until fully combined.
  8. Whip Heavy Cream: Pour in the cold heavy cream and beat on high speed until the mixture is fluffy and soft peaks form, about 1-2 minutes.
  9. Fold in Oreos: Gently fold the chopped Oreo cookies into the cheesecake filling to evenly distribute them while maintaining the fluffiness.
  10. Prepare for Filling: Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with a corner snipped off for easy filling.
  11. Fill Taco Shells: Pipe or spoon the creamy filling generously into each cooled taco shell, filling them fully.
  12. Top with Extra Oreos: Sprinkle additional chopped Oreo pieces on top of the filled tacos for extra texture and flavor, if desired.
  13. Melt Chocolate Drizzle: In a small bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (or butter). Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy, or melt gently over low heat on the stove.
  14. Drizzle Chocolate: Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly for 1-2 minutes, then drizzle it over each cheesecake taco using a spoon or a small piping bag for decorative lines.
  15. Serve Immediately: Arrange the tacos on a serving platter and enjoy immediately for the crispiest shells and freshest taste.

Notes

  • For a stronger cinnamon flavor, increase the ground cinnamon to 1 1/2 teaspoons.
  • If you prefer a less sweet filling, reduce the powdered sugar slightly.
  • The tacos are best enjoyed immediately after assembly for maximum crunch; if left too long, the shells may soften.
  • Ensure the cream cheese and heavy cream are cold for best whipping results.
  • You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate for a richer drizzle.
