Before you start cooking, gather all your ingredients and tools. Make sure you have a muffin tin, a saucepan, and a mixing bowl. Now, let’s start making these yummy dessert tacos!
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Taco Shells: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush both sides of the flour tortillas with melted butter. Stir together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a shallow dish, then dredge the tortillas in the mixture to coat both sides.
- Form and Bake Taco Shells: Invert a muffin tin and nestle the tortillas between the muffin cups to form a taco shape. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until crispy. Let them cool on the muffin tin to help hold their shape.
- Make Pumpkin Pie Filling: Combine the pumpkin puree, heavy cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is hot and begins to thicken slightly (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and let it cool to room temperature.
- Prepare Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with the confectioners’ sugar and vanilla extract until it forms stiff peaks.
- Assemble Tacos: Spoon the cooled pumpkin pie filling into the taco shells, filling them about two-thirds full.
- Top with Whipped Cream: Pipe or spoon whipped cream on top of the pumpkin filling.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with a touch of ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for an extra bit of flavor.
