Instructions
- Prepare the Taco Shells:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, powdered erythritol, egg, melted butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a dough forms.
- Divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Roll each part into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Flatten each ball into a thin circle using your hands or a rolling pin. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add powdered erythritol and vanilla extract, and beat until well combined.
- Gradually add heavy cream while continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Prepare the Strawberry Topping:
- In a separate bowl, combine diced strawberries, powdered erythritol, and lemon juice. Mix well and set aside to macerate for 10-15 minutes.
- Assemble the Mini Cheesecake Tacos:
- Once the taco shells are cooled, carefully spoon the cheesecake filling into each shell.
- Top each taco with a generous spoonful of the strawberry topping.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture. These mini cheesecake tacos can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, though the taco shells may soften slightly over time.
