Taco Shells Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Add graham cracker crumbs and sugar to a shallow dish and stir to combine.
- Using a 3 3/4 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.
- Press each shell into the shallow dish of graham cracker crumbs, coating both sides.
- Fold each shell in half to form a seam and flip a cupcake pan upside down.
- Stagger the shells between the cups of the cupcake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 11 minutes until the edges are brown and stiff.
- Remove from oven and cool in the cupcake pans to retain shape.
Cheesecake Filling Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer.
- Add pudding mix, 1/2 cup of heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract; beat until incorporated.
- Add remaining heavy cream and beat until smooth and fluffy.
- Fill a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 1M piping tip with the cheesecake filling.
- Pipe the cheesecake filling into the cooled taco shells, starting from the center and moving to the edges.
