Berry Cheesecake Chips
Here’s a delicious dessert idea using fresh summer berries! Berry Cheesecake Chips make for a fun twist on a dessert classic.
Servings 4 people
Ingredients
- for the chips layer
- 6 flour tortillas I used smaller El Milagro tortillas, but you might need fewer if you’re using larger burrito tortillas.
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 ½ tablespoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- for the cheesecake layer
- 8 oz brick cream cheese softened and chopped into chunks
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ pint fresh blueberries
- ½ lb strawberries sliced
Instructions
- Put the cream cheese out to soften, and preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt the butter, then brush each tortilla with melted butter.
- Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over the buttered tortillas. Snip each into large triangles with kitchen shears. (I simply quartered mine.)
- Bake the cinnamon sugar tortillas on a rimmed baking sheet at 350 degrees for 12 minutes, or until browned and crispy. Hint: If you stop right here, these are also amazing by themselves as cinnamon sugar chips!
- While your chips are baking, whisk together the cream cheese, vanilla, and sugar until nicely combined and slice the strawberries.
- Remove the chips from the oven, then spread each with the cream cheese mixture.
- Top each cheesecake chip with fresh berries, then serve immediately.
Notes
Note: It's OK if the tortilla triangles overlap slightly on the baking sheet. Watch to make sure they crisp up nicely, without getting overly browned.
