Cheesecake Berry Rolls (Printable Version)
Golden-fried tortillas packed with sweet cream cheese and juicy strawberries, dusted in cinnamon sugar. A fun mix of flavors that's super quick to put together.
# Ingredients:
→ Chimichanga filling
01 -
1 cup diced strawberries
02 -
8 oz softened cream cheese
03 -
¼ cup sour cream
04 -
½ cup strawberry preserves
05 -
6 small (8-inch) flour tortillas
06 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 -
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
→ For frying
08 -
A generous amount of vegetable oil
09 -
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
→ Cinnamon-sugar coating
10 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
11 -
¼ cup granulated sugar
# Steps:
01 -
Combine the cream cheese, sour cream, vanilla, and sugar in a bowl until creamy. Gently stir in strawberry pieces and strawberry preserves.
02 -
Place a tortilla on your work surface. Add a scoop (about ¼ cup) of the strawberry mixture to the middle. Roll it up snug like a burrito by tucking the sides in first, then rolling it up. Use a toothpick to hold it shut if needed. Do the same with the rest of the tortillas.
03 -
Add enough oil to a deep skillet to cover about 2 inches. Heat over medium-high until a little piece of tortilla dropped in starts sizzling right away.
04 -
Gently slide rolled chimichangas into the oil with the seam side facing down. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. Once they’re done, put them on paper towels to soak up the oil.
05 -
While warm, lightly brush melted butter over each chimichanga. Mix the sugar and cinnamon in a shallow dish, then roll the chimichangas in the mixture so they’re completely covered.
06 -
Serve freshly made with options like whipped cream, more strawberry jam, or fresh berries! Best enjoyed while they’re still warm for peak crispiness.
# Notes:
01 -
Swap out strawberries for raspberries or blueberries if you'd like.
02 -
Skip frying and bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes to make them lighter.
03 -
Tastes best when eaten fresh, but you can keep leftovers no more than 2 days.
04 -
To bring back crispiness, heat leftovers in an oven or air fryer.
