If you’re craving a dessert that combines crispy indulgence with creamy sweetness, look no further than Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas! This fun and flavorful twist on traditional chimichangas takes a beloved dessert, cheesecake, and wraps it up in a crispy, golden tortilla for a treat that’s as irresistible as it is innovative.
Ingredients:
- For the Filling:
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- For Assembly:
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the finely chopped strawberries.
- Assemble the Chimichangas: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the cheesecake filling onto the center. Fold the sides in and then roll the tortilla up tightly, securing the ends.
- Fry the Chimichangas: Heat vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the chimichangas in the hot oil, seam-side down. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Add the Finishing Touches: Mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a bowl. While the chimichangas are still warm, roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for an extra touch of sweetness.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve your Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of strawberry sauce if desired. These crispy, creamy treats are perfect for a fun dessert or a sweet surprise at your next gathering!
