Ingredients:
- 18 street-taco size flour tortillas (approx. 10cm/4in diameter)
- 42g melted butter
- 50g granulated sugar
- 5g ground cinnamon
- 226g Neufchâtel light cream cheese, softened
- 60g plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 60g sifted powdered sugar
- 5ml vanilla bean paste or extract
- 2g lemon zest
- 250g fresh strawberries, diced small
- 15ml honey or agave
- 5 fresh mint leaves, chiffonade
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). If using large tortillas, cut out 18 rounds using a 3.5-inch biscuit cutter.
- Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla round with melted butter and dredge in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Flip a standard muffin tin upside down. Wedge the tortilla rounds between the upturned cups to create a 'U' shape. Bake for 6–8 minutes until golden and rigid. Let cool completely on the tin.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened Neufchâtel cream cheese, Greek yogurt, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest with a hand mixer until light and aerated.
- In a separate small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with honey and let macerate for 10 minutes to create a natural syrup.
- Transfer the cheesecake filling to a piping bag. Pipe the filling into the cooled shells, top with the strawberry mixture, and garnish with fresh mint. Chill for 30 minutes before serving to set.
