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.

Notes

For ideal results, chill the taco shells completely before filling, and serve fresh with toppings.
