Easy Pumpkin Pie Tacos – The Ultimate Fall Dessert Twist!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 18–24 (6-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup melted Butter
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for filling)
  • 3/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract (for filling)
  • 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream (for whipped cream)
  • 2 tbsp Powdered Sugar (for whipped cream)
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract (for whipped cream)
  • Chopped pecans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pumpkin Pie Filling: In a bowl, combine 3/4 cup pumpkin puree, 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for filling), and 1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. Mix until smooth. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, for best consistency and flavor.
  2. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Coating: In a shallow dish, mix 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. Fry and Shape Taco Shells: Heat 3-4 cups vegetable or canola oil in a heavy-bottomed pot to 350-360°F. Fry one flour tortilla at a time for 15-20 seconds per side until golden. Using tongs, fold it in half to create a taco shape while frying, holding it until the shape sets and it becomes crisp. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
  4. Coat Shells with Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after frying and draining, coat the warm taco shell generously in the cinnamon sugar mixture. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and crisp completely. Repeat for all tortillas.
  5. Whip Cream Topping: In a chilled bowl, combine 1/2 cup cold heavy whipping cream, 2 tbsp powdered sugar, and 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Whip with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
  6. Assemble Pumpkin Pie Tacos: Fill each cooled cinnamon sugar taco shell with a generous scoop of the chilled pumpkin pie filling. Top with a dollop of freshly whipped cream. Garnish with chopped pecans. Optionally, drizzle with caramel sauce and dust with an extra pinch of ground cinnamon. Serve immediately for optimal crispness.

Notes

  • Chill the filling overnight for best flavor.
  • Use a thermometer to ensure oil is at the correct temperature.
