Can I Store Blueberry Cheesecake Tacos for Later?

Yes, you can definitely store these blueberry cheesecake tacos for later on. Just keep in mind that you’re going to be better off storing the homemade taco shells and the blueberry filling separately; if you’re thinking that you’ll have leftovers, it’s a good idea to set some apart for storing like this.

You’ll be able to store the taco shells at room temperature for 1 to 2 days; don’t put them in the fridge or else they’ll turn slightly mushy.

As for the cheesecake filling, transfer it into an airtight container and you can keep it in the fridge for up to 1 to 2 days as well.
