Dessert Quesadilla Ingredients
- Flour tortillas (4): Soft tortillas crisp in the skillet, giving you that golden exterior with a tender bite that holds the gooey filling. LaLa’s style tortillas add better texture.
- Creamy peanut butter (4 tablespoons): Adds rich, salty sweet flavor and helps “glue” the filling so it stays put when sliced.
- Marshmallow cream (½ cup): Delivers the ooey gooey pull and extra sweetness; brands like Marshmallow Fluff melt smoothly.
- Mini chocolate chips (¼ cup): Sprinkle evenly and melt fast, giving chocolate in every bite without weighing the quesadilla down.
- Cooking spray (as needed): Lightly greases the pan for even browning and crisp edges without extra heaviness.
- Sliced strawberries (for topping): Fresh, juicy finish that balances the rich filling and adds a pretty pop of color.
How to Make Dessert Quesadillas
Spread 2 tablespoons of peanut butter onto 2 tortillas in a thin layer.
Then, spread ¼ cup marshmallow cream onto the remaining 2 tortillas.
In a large skillet over medium heat, spray cooking spray. Add 1 peanut butter tortilla to the skillet. Sprinkle with half the mini chocolate chips. Add 1 marshmallow cream tortilla on top and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until tortillas are golden brown.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas. Let rest for a minute or two before slicing. Garnish with sliced strawberries. **Sub out peanut butter for Nutella if preferred.
Kristyn’s Recipe Tips
- Warm tortillas for 10 to 15 seconds so they’re pliable and less likely to crack or break when flipping.
- Cook over medium heat, not high, so the filling melts while the tortillas turn golden (don’t want to scorch them.)
- Let rest 1 to 2 minutes before slicing; the filling sets slightly and stays tidy.
- Easy swap, use Nutella in place of peanut butter for a chocolate hazelnut version.
