From: Nicole Burkholder @ simpleandseasonal.com/cheesecake-quesadillas/
Need something sweet and easy for Valentines's day or your anniversary? These Cheesecake Quesadillas make a very quick and easy dessert when you need to throw something together. Even making your own strawberry syrup only takes an extra 5 minutes. Plus, if you have any extra, it is awesome on pancakes or waffles!
Servings: 8-16 wedges
Ingredients:
Homemade Strawberry Syrup
4 ounces cream cheese softened
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
4 flour tortillas
butter
sugar and cinnamon
Optional: whipped cream for topping
Instructions:
Prepare strawberry syrup and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla extract.
Butter one side of a tortilla, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Set aside.
Spread half of the cheesecake filling over another tortilla, and then top with the buttered tortilla.
Place butter side down on a warm pan or griddle and add butter and cinnamon/sugar to the top.
Cook until golden brown on the bottom and flip.
Cook other side to golden brown, then remove from heat.
Repeat to make a second quesadilla.
Slice into 4ths or 8ths and top with strawberry topping and whipped cream.
Serve warm.
Strawberry syrup
2 Tbsp. water
2 Tbsp. granulated sugar
