This is very quick recipe that wins for ease and simplicity. And the best part for this type of recipe is you could change it by using a different type of fruit for filling. Last time I used fresh strawberries and they were so good.
Perhaps you remember my Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas. I had to try new version and this time I chose cherry pie filling instead fresh strawberries. Cherry Cheesecake Chimichangas turned out equally delicious. Check these Oven Baked berry Cheesecake Chimichangas, too!
To tell you the truth, the reason I used cherry cheesecake filling is this. A few days ago I picked a full bucket of juicy cherries from the tree in front of my house, and I didn�t know what to do with them. The cherries can�t be kept fresh for a long time so I made a few jars of homemade cherry pie filling.
I had to figure out what to do with all those cherry pie filling. I�m a bit tired of old fashioned cherry pie and want to try something new. I�ve already made Mini Cherry Pies, which are great if you don�t need a whole pie or you want individual serving size dessert. And so this scrumptious Cherry Cheesecake Chimichangas recipe was born.
I was so pleased with the results. I really love cherry cheesecake and the simplicity of this recipe makes me even more happy. Just mix cream cheese with some sugar and vanilla, spread onto a flour tortilla, add some cheery pie filling, rolled it tight like a burrito, fry each one for a 2-3 minutes, then roll into cinnamon sugar mixture and the yummy dessert is ready for serving.
If you like cherry cheesecake try these Cherry Cheesecake Chimichangas, you will not be disappointed!
