Since we started chasing kids around, these walking tacos have become a family favorite. The children enjoy them, they are quick and simple to create, and there is no cleanup required. The meat can be prepared ahead of time, so all you need to do when it’s time to eat is heat it up. They are simple enough to eat while driving to soccer practice on a hectic night!

Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter, melted, or more as needed
- 2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- 1 (14 ounce) package chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreo®)
- ¾ cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (such as Nutella®), or more to taste
Instructions
- Prepare crust: Mix graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl with your hands. Add melted butter and mix with a spoon or hand mixer until combined. If mixture seems too dry, add up to 1/4 cup more melted butter. Press mixture evenly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan. Chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare filling: Beat cream cheese and lemon juice in a stand mixer until soft. Add whipping cream and continue beating until mixture becomes thick. Mix in sugar until stiff. Separate mixture into equal amounts in 2 bowls.
- Crush 18 sandwich cookies and fold them into one bowl of filling; spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes. Reserve remaining cookies for another use.
- Mix chocolate-hazelnut spread in the second bowl of filling. Spread evenly over chilled cookie layer. Cover and freeze for 3 to 8 hours.
- Slice thinly and serve cold.
- I use a food processor to break graham crackers into crumbs.
- Use between 3/4 cup to 1 cup of Nutella(R). Don’t overdue the Nutella(R) otherwise you’ll end up with one really rich cheesecake!
- Wanna really have some fun with this pie? Add banana slices into the Oreo(R) crumb mixture.
- Nutrition data for this recipe includes the full amount of Oreos(R). The actual amount consumed will vary.
