Blueberry Cheesecake Tacos – The perfect treat to bring as a party pleaser, and they couldn’t be easier. Crunchy baked tortilla shells, easy cheesecake filling, and homemade blueberry pie topping are simply perfect. You’ll be enjoying this awesome dessert in about 30 minutes.
It’s no secret that I love tacos. And a dessert taco… Sign me up for two or three. My Blueberry Cheesecake Tacos came about after I wanted to serve a dessert taco for a Cinco de Mayo party.
How long will these Cheesecake Tacos last
These cheesecake tacos are best served right away. The taco shells will go stale, so they are best fresh. I recommend making only what you plan to eat that day.
If you don’t want to eat them all right away, then you will want to store the shells separate from the filling. Then store the shells for 1-2 days on the counter.
What other toppings can be used?
There are endless toppings you can do for these cheesecake toppings. Let me share a handful of ideas for you to consider.
Here are a few of my favorites: Apple pie Cheesecake Tacos, Strawberry Cheesecake Tacos, and Cherry Cheesecake Tacos…..
How to prevent air bubbles in my taco shells
The trick to making sure no air bubbles develop is taking your fork and puncturing the tortilla shell. This will help no air bubbles to develop.
If you do get an air bubble or two, puncture with a fork or knife before the shell cools down from being removed from the oven. They become crispy quite quickly after coming out of the oven so be quick about it.
