A festive holiday dessert featuring crispy cinnamon sugar taco shells filled with creamy no-bake cheesecake, topped with peppermint and sprinkles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 small taco-sized tortillas
  • 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • Crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
  • Holiday sprinkles (red, green, white)
  • Optional: green & red M&Ms or mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Shape & Bake the Taco Shells: Brush both sides of the tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Drape over the oven rack or a taco mold and bake at 350°F for 7–9 minutes until golden and crisp.
  2. Whip Up the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese until smooth, then add powdered sugar and vanilla. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Assemble the Tacos: Fill each taco shell with the cheesecake mixture using a piping bag or spoon.
  4. Add the Crunch & Color: Sprinkle crushed graham crackers along the edges, then top with candy canes, festive sprinkles, and any extras like M&Ms.
  5. Chill & Serve: Let them chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use room-temperature cream cheese.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust sweetness by reducing powdered sugar if preferred.
