Description
Strawberry Cheesecake Taquitos are a delightful dessert that combines the creamy goodness of cheesecake with the sweetness of strawberries, all wrapped in a crispy tortilla.
Ingredients
- 8 medium flour tortillas (6-inch)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons strawberry jam
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries and strawberry jam.
- Fill the tortillas: Place approximately 2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling near one edge of each tortilla. Roll tightly into a taquito, keeping the filling enclosed.
- Prepare the coating: Combine granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
- Brush with butter: Arrange the taquitos seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush lightly with melted butter.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: While still warm, brush with any remaining melted butter and gently roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Make the glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the warm taquitos.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with extra fresh strawberries or strawberry sauce.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
- These taquitos can be served with whipped cream for added sweetness.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
