Ingredients
  

For the Taco Shells:

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Pinch of salt

For the Cheesecake Filling:

1 brick (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

For the Strawberry Crunch Topping:

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp lemon juice

1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries

1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Make the Taco Shells:

    - Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

      - In a mixing bowl, combine crushed graham crackers, granulated sugar, melted butter, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture resembles wet sand.

        - Take a muffin tin and turn it upside down. Using your hands or a flat-bottom glass, press the graham cracker mixture into the shape of taco shells around each muffin cup. Ensure they're compact and have enough depth for filling.

          - Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool completely before removing from the muffin tin.

            Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

              - In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth.

                - Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

                  - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cheesecake mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the cream.

                    Prepare the Strawberry Crunch Topping:

                      - In a small bowl, combine the chopped fresh strawberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to macerate.

                        - In another bowl, mix crushed freeze-dried strawberries with a little bit of crushed graham crackers for added crunch.

                          Assemble the Tacos:

                            - Take the cool taco shells and fill each with a generous amount of cheesecake filling, using a piping bag or a spoon.

                              - Spoon the macerated strawberries over the cheesecake filling.

                                - Top with the strawberry crunch mixture to add that delightful crunch.

                                  Serve:

                                    - Drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce, if desired.

                                      - Serve immediately to enjoy the freshness, or chill for 30 minutes for a firmer filling.
