Best 3 Kiddos Favorite Dessert Quesadillas Recipes

DESSERT QUESADILLA

Steps:

• Lay 1 tortilla half on a clean work surface with the rounded side closest to you. Brush the edges of the tortilla with egg. Place 1 tablespoon of chocolate hazelnut spread in the center of the tortilla and place a piece of fruit or marshmallow on top. Fold one side of the tortilla half way over the filling so that the corner is in the 6-o'clock position, press to seal. Fold the other side over the filling so that the two edges overlap slightly and the corner is also in the 6-o'clock position, press to seal. The quesadilla will look like a triangle-shaped hand pie. Repeat with the remaining tortilla halves and fillings.
• Melt half the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook half of the quesadillas until deep golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with remaining butter and quesadillas. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

• In a large skillet on medium-low heat, cook the tortilla until lightly browned (about 4 min.); turn and brown the other side.
• To serve, dust with confectioners' sugar or cinnamon-sugar.

• Place 1 tortilla in the same skillet over medium-low heat; spread apple mixture on top of tortilla. Top with remaining tortilla. Cook until the bottom tortilla is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the other tortilla is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes more.

3 KIDDOS FAVORITE "DESSERT" QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• 1. Wash blueberries; drain/dry/set aside. Any fresh berry or fresh fruit will work... you may have to slice/dice larger fruit; not too thick in order for even heating, without burning outside of quesadilla.
• 2. Spread layer of cream cheese over one entire side of the flatbread. Pita pockets, tortillas, etc. are great to use. Also, any spreadable cream cheese flavor [plain or otherwise] works!
• 3. Place however many berries you want onto one half of the flatbread.
• 4. Then "fold-it" and slightly press down w/palm of hand [or wide spatula]. The girls really loved this whole part of the recipe!
• 5. Add a little canola baking spray on the griddle [or pan that you use]. Grill on pre-heated/medium heated stove-top cast iron griddle [or whatever you use for making quesadillas/grilled cheese sandwiches] until cheese has melted around the berries/fruit or until outside is golden/a slight bit crisp.
• 6. After quesadillas have been grilled, place them on a platter and lightly sprinkle a small amount of cinnamon/sugar mixture over the top side .... or as w/my little gals, they wanted to dip into a very small amount on a plate of their own.
