- Prepare the Taco Shells: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush the flour tortillas lightly with melted butter on both sides. In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture generously over both sides of the tortillas.
- Shape the Taco Shells: Place the cinnamon-sugar-coated tortillas into taco shell molds or drape them over the bars of your oven rack. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. Once done, let them cool while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined. Gently fold in the whipped topping until the filling is light and creamy. Set aside.
- Prepare the Edible Cookie Dough: In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the all-purpose flour, milk, and mini chocolate chips, mixing until just combined. Set aside.
- Make the Chocolate Drizzle: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Assemble the Tacos: Once the taco shells have cooled, fill each one with a spoonful of the cheesecake filling. Top with a few small scoops of edible cookie dough. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each taco.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve these fun and indulgent cheesecake cookie dough tacos immediately, or chill them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before serving for an extra cool treat!
Tips:
- For extra flavor, you can sprinkle the cookie dough with a bit of sea salt before drizzling with chocolate.
- If you’re in a hurry, store-bought tortillas work great for the taco shells, and you can skip the butter and cinnamon-sugar for a quicker version.
- The cookie dough can be eaten raw but is also safe if you heat-treat the flour by microwaving it for 30 seconds or baking it at 350°F for 5 minutes to kill any potential bacteria.
