# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Add the graham cracker crumbs and sugar to a shallow dish and stir to combine. Using a 3 ¾-inch circle cookie cutter, cut out 3 circles per 9-inch tortilla shell. Using a fork, stab each circle 6 to 7 times on both sides to prevent air bubbles. Brush each shell with melted butter and coat with graham cracker crumbs. Fold the shells in half and form a seam in the middle. Flip a cupcake pan upside down and stagger the shells between the cups. Bake for 11 minutes until the edges are browned and stiff. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on the cupcake pan to maintain their shape.

In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add in the pudding mix, ½ cup of the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract, and beat until incorporated. Add the remaining heavy cream and beat again until smooth and fluffy. Transfer the cheesecake filling into a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M piping tip.
03 -
Pipe the cheesecake filling into the cooled taco shells. Start piping in the middle, then move to one edge, back to the center, to the other edge, and back to the center in one continuous flow. Repeat with the remaining taco shells.

In a bowl, mix the chopped strawberries with the strawberry glaze. Spoon the mixture onto the filled cheesecake tacos. Serve immediately.
