Strawberry Cheesecake Quesadillas
Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 10 mins | Total Time: 20 mins
Servings: 4 quesadillas
Ingredients:
-
4 medium flour tortillas (or large if you want more filling!)
-
4 oz (½ cup) cream cheese, softened
-
2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
-
½ tsp vanilla extract
-
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced (plus extra for garnish)
-
1 tbsp butter (for cooking)
-
Optional:
-
2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs (for extra cheesecake flavor)
-
Chocolate chips or Nutella for a decadent twist
-
Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving
-
Instructions:
-
Make the cheesecake filling:
-
In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
-
Fold in graham cracker crumbs (if using).
-
-
Assemble the quesadillas:
-
Spread a thin layer of the cheesecake mixture on half of each tortilla.
-
Top with sliced strawberries (and chocolate chips, if desired).
-
Fold the tortilla in half.
-
-
Cook until golden:
-
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt butter.
-
Cook each quesadilla for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
-
-
Serve warm:
-
Slice into wedges and dust with powdered sugar.
-
Top with extra strawberries, whipped cream, or ice cream if desired.
-
Tips:
-
Use low heat to prevent burning—the sugar in the filling can caramelize quickly.
-
For extra crunch, sprinkle the outside of the tortilla with cinnamon sugar before cooking.
-
Try with other fruits like bananas, blueberries, or raspberries!
These are perfect for a quick dessert, brunch, or even a fun snack—sweet, gooey, and totally irresistible! 🍓😋
