How to Make Mini Chocolate Cheesecake Tacos
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and salt until well blended.
Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until the texture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the beaten egg and vanilla extract. Keep mixing until the dough comes together. If it's too crumbly, add a teaspoon of cold water.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
While your dough chills, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness.
Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles about 3-4 inches in diameter. Press each circle into a taco shell mold.
Place the molds in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges feel firm. Allow to cool completely in the molds.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream, creating a light and fluffy mixture.
Fill each taco shell with the chocolate cheesecake filling using a piping bag or a spoon.
Drizzle with chocolate sauce and top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings or sprinkles, if desired.
Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
For ideal results, chill the taco shells completely before filling, and serve fresh with toppings.
