strawberry topping

A quick berry compote that tastes as fresh as can be, 3-ingredient Strawberry Topping is delicious spooned over cheesecake, ice cream, or a buttery biscuit fresh from the oven.

Strawberry Topping for Cheesecake

strawberries

sugar

vanilla extract

In a small pot over medium heat, combine the strawberries and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low heat and simmer for 20 minutes, whisking occasionally. Add vanilla, stir to combine, and remove from heat.

These Mini Strawberry Cheesecake Tacos have a crispy, crunchy graham cracker coated shell with a thick and creamy pipeable cheesecake filling and a strawberry glaze topping.

Cheesecake Tacos

9- inch tortilla shells

graham cracker crumbs

butter (melted)

cream cheese (room temperature)

instant pudding mix

heavy whipping cream

strawberry glaze

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Add the graham cracker crumbs and sugar to a shallow dish. 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 it 6 to 7 times on both sides to help prevent air bubbles.

Using a brush, coat each 3 3/4 inch shell with melted butter.

Place in the shallow dish of graham cracker crumbs and gently press down. Flip and repeat until the shell is coated in crumbs.

Fold the shell in half and form a seam in the middle.

Flip a cupcake pan upside down and stagger the shells between the cups.

Place in the preheated oven and bake for 11 minutes until the edges are brown and stiff.

Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the cupcake pans. This will allow the taco shells to keep their shape once they've cooled completely.

Shells

Add the cream cheese to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.

Add in the pudding mix, 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until incorporated.

Add in the remaining heavy cream and beat until smooth and fluffy.

Fill the piping bag that's been fitted with the Wilton 1M piping tip with the cheesecake filling.

Pipe the cheesecake filling into the cooled taco shells. I like to start piping in the middle of the shell, pipe to one edge, back to the center, to the other edge of the taco, and back to the center in one continuous flow. Repeat with the remaining taco shells.

Cheesecake

Add the fresh chopped strawberries with the strawberry glaze to a bowl and stir to combine. *see notes

Spoon the topping on the cheesecake tacos.

Serve immediately.

Topping

This fresh Strawberry Topping or Sauce is quick and easy to make and tastes delicious as a topping for cheesecake or pound cake; or as a sauce with ice cream or whipped cream.

Fresh Strawberry Sauce (Strawberry Topping)

lemon juice

cornstarch (or more to taste; see notes below!)

Combine strawberries and sugar in a medium pot or saucepan.

Whisk together lemon juice, vanilla extract and cornstarch in a small bowl until fully smooth/no lumps remain. Pour over strawberries and stir well.

Bring to a boil once over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer sauce until berries are soft and juices have thickened slightly, about 5 minutes for a chunky topping (see notes below for other consistencies).

Use warm, at room temperature or chilled.

Using fresh strawberries, this is now my go to recipe for topping homemade liege waffles.

thank you this recipe was one of my favorites..

Such a great and easy recipe!  These strawberries are so good!  Not too sweet but sooo delicious!

This syrup was positively delicious: the hubby and 5-year-old daughter devoured this over angel food cake within seconds! And I love the simplicity of the recipe. Chef's kiss 💋

Thank you. This is so easy to make. I make it when I make homemade Belgium waffles. yum. plus I add whipped cream.

So good! It was exactly what I was looking for. I had a large batch of strawberries that I needed to use up so I made this and froze half then made a strawberry whipped cream and a whipped strawberry butter for waffle recipe!

I put it on Angel Food Cake.  It came out very good.  I added one more ingredient from an old recipe.  Just a little Hershey strawberry syrup. But it didn't need it.    Thank You, Dottie

This was exactly what I wanted, thank you! I wanted a topping for cheesecake and also to go with scones and give a strawberry shortcake vibe. I added a pinch of salt after reading the comments but I don't know if I would have missed it. Thanks for sharing!

Quick, easy and so delicious! Perfect with a slice of pound cake. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Simple recipe to follow with delicious results! It’s perfect just as listed so absolutely no additional ingredients are necessary! Great option to provide when serving homemade cheesecake! Thank you!
