Ingredients:
- ¼ cup cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 (8-inch) tortillas
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter, room temperature
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- Strawberry sauce, to taste (for dipping or drizzling)
Directions:
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a small bowl, beat together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Quesadilla: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over one of the tortillas. Place the second tortilla on top to form a quesadilla “sandwich.”
- Butter the Tortillas: Spread softened butter on the outside of both tortillas to help them crisp up while cooking.
- Cook the Quesadilla: Heat a pan over medium heat. Place the quesadilla in the pan and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and crispy.
- Add Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining sugar and cinnamon. Once the quesadilla is cooked, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on top for extra sweetness and texture.
- Serve with Strawberry Sauce: Slice the quesadilla into wedges and serve with strawberry sauce for dipping or drizzling over the top. Enjoy this delightful sweet treat!
Recipe Tips:
- Customizable Fillings: While this recipe calls for a simple cream cheese filling, you can mix in a bit of strawberry jam or fresh strawberries to make it extra fruity.
- Crisp Perfection: Make sure to cook the quesadilla on medium heat to ensure the outside becomes golden and crispy without burning.
- Strawberry Sauce: You can use store-bought strawberry sauce or make your own by simmering fresh strawberries with a bit of sugar and lemon juice until they break down into a syrupy consistency.
