A few months ago I got invited to a new restaurant opening and for dessert they had these cheesecake chimichanga’s on the menu – we almost just skipped dinner and went straight for dessert. And while dinner was good when we finally got around to dessert we DID wish we had just gone for the dessert – ever since I’ve wanted to recreate it and now I have it for you!

deep fried cheesecake chimichangas are seriously AMAZING - recipe and video tutorial

Seriously SO GOOD! I used my classic creamy cheesecake recipe and the crust too – just layer them in the tortillas, fold together, pin closed with a toothpick and fry! Yup – just that easy.  Turn over in the cinnamon and sugar mixture and serve with any cheesecake topping you like.

The raw batter will cook in the fryer and you’ll have a warm gooey cheesecake in a crunchy shell. I will say they are amazing fresh – BUT I enjoyed the leftovers as well.  I’ve made these once a week since the first time and I’m even more in love with them now!

Make sure to take out the toothpick – I forgot to warn my family about them one and my dad bit into a toothpick – NOT great

SO you can flavor the cheesecake batter and change up the toppings as well – I can’t wait to make my caramel cheesecake batter in these with caramel sauce- or my peanut butter one with chocolate sauce… oh yeah.  What flavor combo would you make?

Cheesecake chimichangas are easy and delicious - create any flavor

this deep fried sweet treat is an amazing dessert - my classic cheesecake batter wrapped in a tortilla, fried and rolled in cinnamon sugar and topped with cheesecake topping.  It's a pretty dessert.

Everyone who tries these has instantly fallen in love.  Now I used my large fryer – cause I have one and it’s often out.  BUT you don’t need much oil and you can easily fry these in a few inches of oil in a pan on the stove – just keep an eye on the oil so it doesn’t get too hot.  I like to use a thermometer to make sure the temp is right.
