Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  3. Mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon on a plate.

  5. Place the coated tortilla circles upside down in the cups of a muffin tin and bake for approximately 10 minutes.
  6. While the taco shells cool, whip heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and pure vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  7. Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth, then add canned pumpkin puree and spices, mixing until combined.
  8. Carefully pipe or spoon the creamy pumpkin filling into the cooled taco shells, topping with whipped cream.
  9. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
