Tips for making the perfect strawberry cheesecake tacos?
These dessert tacos are very easy to make, but here are some tips below:
- To make it an even faster process, you can make the taco shells the day before and store them in an airtight container.
- Do not over whip the cheesecake filling, once it is firm enough to pipe and hold it’s shape stop whipping!
- Make sure you blitz the Biscoff biscuits in a food processor to make them extra fine. If you choose to bash them in a zip lock bag, they can be a bit chunky and they do not look as nice on the taco shells.
- The strawberry topping is super easy to make using strawberry jam. Chop the strawberries into small cubes, then mix with some strawberry jam. There you have it, strawberry sauce without having to cook anything and it tastes delicious!
