Time 33m

Yield 6 chimichangas, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 (1 5/8 ounce) milk chocolate candy bars
6 (10 inch) burrito-size flour tortillas
vegetable oil
raspberry sauce
vanilla ice cream
chocolate shavings, mint sprigs
1 (10 ounce) package frozen raspberries, thawed
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional)
1 teaspoon cornstarch

Steps:

  • For Chimichangas: Place 1 candy bar just below center of 1 tortilla. Fold bottom of tortilla up and over candy bar just until partially covered. Fold left and right sides of tortilla over; roll up, and place, seam side down, on a baking sheet. Repeat procedure with remaining candy bars and tortillas. Freeze 20 minutes.
  • Pour oil to depth of 1 inch into a large skillet; heat to 375°F Place 2 tortillas, seam sides down, in hot oil, gently pressing with tongs for a few seconds to seal. Fry tortillas 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat procedure with remaining tortillas. Drain on paper towels. Serve with Raspberry Sauce and vanilla ice cream. Garnish, if desired.
  • For Raspberry Sauce: Combine first 3 ingredients and, if desired, orange liqueur, in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes or just until raspberry mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat, and let cool completely.
  • Press raspberry mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a small saucepan, using the back of a spoon to squeeze out juice. Discard pulp and seeds. Whisk in 1 teaspoons cornstarch. Bring to a boil, and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Store in refrigerator up to 3 days Makes 1 cup.
