Ingredients
Taco Boats:
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 12 Old El Paso Mini Soft Tortilla Taco Boats
Lemon Cream Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup heavy cream whipped to soft peaks
- diced strawberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
- Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a large ziplock bag. Using a pastry brush, the butter on the insides and outside of each of the taco boats. Working with one or two at a time, place the boats in the ziplock bag and shake to cover with cinnamon sugar. Shake off excess, and place on a baking sheet.
- Once all of the boats are ready, transfer the sheet to the oven and bake until golden brown and starting to get crisp, about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until softened. Add the sugar and beat until it as dissolved, about a minute. Beat in the 1/3 cup heavy cream, lemon zest and lemon juice until combined. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring, if desired. Stir in about 1/4 of the whipped cream until combined (this will help to lighten up the mixture) then fold in the remaining cream. Transfer to a piping bag with a decorative tip or a ziptop bag with the corner cut off.
- Pipe the mixture into the cooled cinnamon-sugar coated boats. Top with diced strawberries and serve immediately.
Notes
- You can make the cinnamon-sugar boats and the lemon cream ahead of time, but don’t assemble them until ready to serve as they will get soggy.
- Can’t find the mini boats? You can also make your own cinnamon-sugar tortilla bowls like I did for this Fried Ice Cream recipe.
