Making desserts in the air fryer is one of my favorite things to do. A bite into one of these gooey air fryer cheesecake chimichangas is all you need to try out this easy and delectable dessert in your air fryer. With just 5 ingredients you can make these in less than 10 mins.
½cuppowdered sweetener (like sugar. I used a monkfruit/erythritol blend a natural sugar free sugar substitute)
1Large egg
½teaspoonvanilla extract
4Large Flour tortillas(I used Mission’s low carb tortillas)
½cupstrawberry pie filling
¼cupgranulated sweetener of choice
1teaspoonground cinnamon
2Tablespoonsbutter
2teaspoons oil
Instructions
Prepare the cheesecake filling
Mix the cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla extract and egg with a hand mixer till smooth then set aside
Prepare the tortillas
Place tortillas in a microwave safe plate cover with a sheet of paper towel then microwave for 20 to 30 secs this will make the tortillas softer and more pliable
Fill the tortillas
Divide the cheesecake mix into 4 portions
Place warmed tortillas on the work surface and spoon in one portion of the cream cheese mix to the middle of the tortilla, add the strawberry pie filling on top of the cream cheese mix
Fold the tortillas
Fold the filled tortilla burrito style by folding in the sides and then folding the bottom flap over the filling and rolling it over. See blog posts for more details.
Air fry
Place the filled tortillas into the air fryer basket, brush all sides with oil. Air fry at 360°F / 180°C for 8 to 10 mins.
While the chimichangas are baking mix the cinnamon sugar and set aside
When the cheesecake chimichangas are ready, bring them out of the air fryer and place on a plate.
Next brush with melted butter then roll in cinnamon sugar. Serve as is or with your favorite topping
Notes
I didn’t preheat the air fryer. If you do, these will likely cook a couple of minutes faster than stated in this recipe.
Do not overfill the tortillas or it will be difficult to fold.
Warming the tortillas especially if they were in the refrigerator will prevent them from tearing when you are folding.
