Description

A delightful dessert combining cheesecake filling and festive taco shells, perfect for the holiday season.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 Large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 13 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1/4 cup Christmas sprinkles
  • 2 tablespoon crushed candy canes
  • 12 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F (176 C). Turn the muffin tin upside down and set aside. Cut the tortillas with a 4 inch cookie cutter, about 3 circles per tortilla.
  2. Coat the cut circles with melted butter and arrange them in the prepared tin to form the shape of shells.
  3. Bake for 5-6 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and leave in the muffin tin to cool.
  4. In a shallow bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, Christmas sprinkles and crushed candy canes and set aside.
  5. Melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring constantly until melted.
  6. Brush the cooled taco shells with white chocolate, then coat them in the graham cracker mixture and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate to allow the chocolate to solidify.
  7. For the cheesecake filling, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Add heavy whipping cream and beat until thickens.
  8. Transfer the filling to a piping bag and pipe into the taco shells. Garnish with Christmas sprinkles, crushed candy canes, and M&Ms.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overbake the tortilla shells.
  • Ensure the chocolate doesn’t come into contact with water when melting.
  • Add more festive toppings as per your preference.
