This festive dessert combines fall spices and rich flavors in a fun taco format, perfect for autumn gatherings or holiday treats.

Ingredients

Scale

Tortilla Coating

  • 6 8-inch Tortillas (makes about 18–24 rounds)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup Butter (melted)

Pumpkin Cream Filling

  • 4 oz Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 3/4 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

Whipped Topping

  • 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Garnish

  • Pecans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tortilla Coating: In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Melt the butter in a separate bowl. Dip each tortilla into the melted butter, then coat it in the cinnamon sugar mixture, making sure both sides are well-covered. Cut the tortillas into rounds to create small taco shells.
  2. Make the Pumpkin Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add the canned pumpkin puree, pure vanilla extract, and pumpkin pie spice, then mix until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the filling is smooth.
  3. Whip the Topping: Using a mixer, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip to maintain a light texture.
  4. Assemble the Tacos: Spoon the pumpkin cream filling into the coated tortilla rounds carefully, creating a taco shape. Top each with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with pecans for added texture and flavor.
  5. Serve: Arrange the pumpkin pie tacos on a serving platter and serve immediately to enjoy the creamy, crunchy, and spiced flavors at their best.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Use canned pumpkin puree to achieve the best texture and flavor.
  • The tortilla rounds can be toasted lightly to add extra crispness before coating.
  • Pecans can be substituted with walnuts or omitted for nut-free preferences.
  • These tacos are best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
