1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups (180g) graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cup (50g) unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup (35g) chopped toasted pecans (optional)
Additional chopped strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Beat softened cream cheese in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.
2. Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract; mix until well combined.
3. Gently fold in heavy cream and finely chopped strawberries until evenly incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until the texture resembles coarse sand.
5. Divide crumb mixture into 8 small taco-shaped molds or muffin tin cups, pressing firmly to form shells.
6. Refrigerate taco shells for at least 2 hours until firm.
7. Remove shells from the refrigerator and spoon or pipe cheesecake filling into each shell.
8. Top with chopped toasted pecans if desired.

Notes
Chill shells thoroughly so they maintain their shape.
Try adding freeze-dried strawberry crumbs for extra crunch.
Best served the same day for the crispiest texture.
