Description
🍰✨ Xango Dessert (Fried Cheesecake Chimichangas) ✨🍰
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup canned or homemade cheesecake filling (optional)
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- Chocolate syrup or caramel sauce (for drizzling)
- Whipped cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy. If using, fold in the cheesecake filling for added texture and flavor.
- Assemble the Chimichangas: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread 2-3 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture in the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito, tucking in the sides to seal the filling. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Test the oil by dropping a small piece of tortilla in it; it should sizzle immediately.
- Fry the Chimichangas: Carefully place the chimichangas seam-side down into the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to turn them gently. Remove and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Dust and Garnish: While still warm, dust the fried chimichangas with powdered sugar. Drizzle with chocolate syrup or caramel sauce for added decadence.
Serve: Serve the Xango dessert warm with a dollop of whipped cream, additional sauce, or even a scoop of ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
