Step 1: Shape the Taco Shells
Brush both sides of each tortilla with melted butter.
Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the tortillas.
Drape the tortillas over oven-safe bars, an inverted muffin tin, or taco molds to create taco shapes.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes until lightly golden and crisp.
Allow them to cool completely.
Step 2: Make the Strawberry Crunch
Place the golden sandwich cookies and freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor.
Pulse until fine crumbs form.
Mix with melted butter and set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
Fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
Step 4: Fill the Taco Shells
Transfer the cheesecake mixture to a piping bag.
Pipe the filling into each cooled taco shell.
Step 5: Add the Crunch Topping
Generously sprinkle or press the strawberry crunch mixture onto the cheesecake filling.
Step 6: Garnish and Chill
Top with fresh strawberries and a small swirl of whipped cream if desired.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
