FAQs
Can I make the filling in advance?
Yes! You can prepare the cheesecake filling a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Just fill the taco shells right before serving for the best texture.
Is there a substitute for cream cheese?
For a lighter option, you can use Greek yogurt or whipped cream cheese, which will give you a similar creamy texture while being a bit lighter.
Can I use a different type of shell?
Absolutely! While taco-shaped cookie shells are playful, you can use any type of cookie shell or even mini graham cracker crusts to suit your style!
