Strawberry Shortcake Dessert Tacos

Christine
Servings 6 Dessert Tacos

Ingredients
  

  • For the cheesecake filling:
  • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
  • 2 c. whipped topping
  • For the Strawberry Syrup:
  • 1 c. mashed strawberries
  • 1/4 c. water
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1 Tbsp. cornstarch
  • Eggo® Thick & Fluffy Original 6ct
  • Additional whipped topping and fresh sliced strawberries for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • For the cheesecake filling, in the bowl of an electric mixer, whip together cream cheese, vanilla and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • For the strawberry topping, mash berries and pour them into a small sauce pan. Stir in water, sugar and cornstarch. Over the stovetop on medium-high heat, bring mixture to a full boil while stirring constantly. Mixture will thicken and darken in color as it cooks. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely (place it in the fridge to speed up the process).
  • Toast Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original waffles until nice and crispy. Put tacos together by folding the Eggo Thick & Fluffy Original waffle in half, then putting a large spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center. Top with a spoonful of strawberry syrup. Add a dollop of whipped topping and a fresh strawberry slice for garnish, if desired.

Notes

Mash the strawberries by hand if you like a chunkier mixture. If you prefer it to be more smooth, puree the berries in a blender.
