Blueberry Cheesecake Chimichangas: Fresh blueberry sauce and cheesecake filling, wrapped in a flour tortilla, lightly fried to a golden brown, then coated with vanilla cinnamon sugar.
This post and recipe was created for #SummerDessertWeek. I was sent samples by some of the sponsor companies, but as always opinions are 100% my own.
One of my husband and I's favorite restaurants to eat at, is a local Mexican restaurant in our area. Their food is always fresh and delicious, and I could seriously eat their salsa with a spoon.
I've always wanted to try one of their dessert chimichangas, but we are always to full at the end of our meal to order dessert.
So when I received these pretty blueberries from Rainier Fruit to use in a recipe, for day #3 of #SummerDessertWeek, I knew it was the perfect time to make the dessert I had been longing for, a blueberry chimichanga.
Dessert chimichangas are easy to make, yet look and taste like you fussed. They're a unique and yummy dessert to serve your family, and would be impressive and fun enough to serve to guests as well.
